Symptoms of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 янв 2023
- In this video I describe the symptoms I had before needing pelvic organ prolapse repair surgery, and how I knew I was facing prolapses. Specifically, I discuss pelvic pressure and pain, Pudenal nerve pain, hip and back pain, pain during sexual intercourse, and problems with emptying my bladder and bowels.

I really appreciate you putting all business out there! I'm going through the same prolapses as you, I'm similar in age, but I'm 2 years post partum from my youngest. I finally scheduled my surgery for August. I'm really hoping my recovery goes well. Thank you for everything!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the content and finding it useful! Feel free to reach out to the channel’s email if you have any questions prior to, or after surgery. Happy to connect!
I need to call a gyno or vago- gynecologist or vaginal surgeon. You've inspired me to make a call.
Omg the hip pain!!! Yes… I’m just discovering all this. My mind is blown… it all makes sense now.
Yes! It’s crazy how it’s all tied together. I had terrible back and hip pain and had no idea it was correlated with this! I remember noticing three or four days into my surgery recovery that I no longer had hip pain, and putting it together that it must’ve been from all of that pressure down there on the nerve structure.
Great information, Jessica. Thank you for your heart in sharing your knowledge and experience to help us. So proud of you. ❤️🙏 As a runner, I will definitely follow up on this and let you know.
I just had my total hysterectomy from a level 4 uterine prolapse. Can’t believe how freeing I feel. It’s amazing.
I’m so happy for you!
Wow you just inspired me.
I had pelvic reconstruction 3 months ago. Everything seems much better now! I sometimes feel like my bladder has slipped down a little but then some days it seems just fine! I guess it takes time. Thanks so much for making these videos!
I’m so glad to hear this! I also worried that I had re-prolapsed for months after my surgery. I think a lot of it was in my head (just fear talking), but some of it was pressure and strange sensations related to recovery. Try to move on with your life, enjoy being symptom free, and know that IF you do re-prolapse, you’ll know, you’ll get help, and you’ll address it then. Live life for now!!
I have the exact same thing you have to the T and I found out after my fourth baby I go in for surgery march 17 so your videos are such a blessing
Thank you for sharing. You answer the questions in my head every video. I know I will feel better after surgery and I can’t wait. ❤
I’m so glad to hear this!
Thanks for sharing this! I also have some issues, and this info has helped. 💯
Thank you so much for these videos.
Going through this now. It sucks. I'm stage 3 as well. I also need hysterectomy with it. Next 2 weeks are full of doctors appointments. Sorry you went through this but glad I found your channel
Glad you found me! Send me any questions at personalprolpasestory@gmail.com. 🙂
@@personalprolapsestory sitting is a major struggle now. 😫
Extremely helpful thank you ❤
I have all these symptoms plus flatulence incontinence, is that one of the symptoms???
Could you please make an update video?
Not sure what exactly you are looking for, but I have made almost 25 videos, documenting my entire surgery and recovery process for the last 3 years. Is there something specific you are looking for?
@@personalprolapsestory I wanted to know have you healed completely, I have unfortunately all three pelvic organ prolapses, bladder and rectal stage 2 and uterine stage 3. The doctor is suggesting a hysterectomy. I wanted to know, have you been able to completely recover. I have small kids too with not much help from family/ friends, I am at the moment on my own, I don’t know if I can handle the operation and the after effects on my own. Have you healed completely?
The doctor is not ready to consider anyother option and I find the whole situation passive aggressive.
@@MrsGiddydiddy I suggest that you spend some time checking out more of my videos. Specifically, I suggest that you check out my most recent one about considerations before having a hysterectomy. What I had done was a major surgery. Yours likely will be too. It would have been impossible without my husband/family support during my recovery. You should also check out my how to choose a surgeon before you decide on surgery/a surgeon video. Yes. I am completely healed now. But, it’s been 3 years.
@@personalprolapsestory I saw your last video now, i don’t know how will I go through this without help and all the treatment post op seems to be expensive. I don’t know what I am going to do. At the moment my head is just spinning and I am feeling absolutely down and out. My diagnosis is very recent.
Did you ever go through pelvic floor exercises before considering surgery?
Yes. I did. I attempted two rounds of it, but never got much benefit. It would not have helped or fixed any of my issues. I also intermittently have to do pelvic floor PT now (2 years post prolapse) due to a hypertonic pelvic floor (too tight). It’s the opposite of my issue before, but it’s from surgery scarring and stitching. I’ll tale this new “issue” any day. 🙂
I just posted a questions and misconceptions video that addresses my experiences with pelvic floor PT!
Great great to hear. I also have hip and low back pain. Is it gone now? Ny Urogynecologiist says my hip pain is not due to prolapse
Yes, my surgery cured that pain as well. It was gone nearly immediately after my surgery. Many doctors aren’t educated in pelvic floor nerve structure and how they connect.
I went to a consult with a gynecologist and asked about low back pain. That particular gynecologist answered no, and I'm a level 3. I'm going all the time, and it takes me forever, plus a little incontinence at night. Sometimes, I have severe pressure, and no, I have embarrassing purple spots that the gynecologist said was blood vessel bursts.
@@cateychange9491 many doctors aren’t even aware that there is a correlation between the pelvic floor and hip/back pain, but all of those nerves are connected. A pelvic floor PT, or well versed surgeon could explain it, but I bet your pain would be relieved with surgery to fix your prolapse (unless you have another back injury).
Do you have an email so I can email you?
