Vaginal Prolapse

[Cindy82]

I'm only 25 yrs old, have 2 kids and have had my uterus removed due to other problems.
For about a year now I have been having severe cramping, Trouble urinating, constipation, feel as if I always have to urinate and leak on myself when I cough or sneeze hard.

I went to the family doc over and over again and was told it was IBS , Well the meds didnt help so they finally referred me to a urologist
I seen him this past thursday and after he examined me, did some kind of measuring and made me cough he told me I have a "fallen bladder" and would need surgery but he would not do the surgery until I lost about 50 lbs and quit smoking.

This is really upsetting me, I am so young for this and I am in pain all the time.
My medical insurance is ending also and we are moving states so dont how I am going to get this problem taken care of when we are in Texas.

He told me within 4 to 5 yrs it would be to the point that I am always leaking on myself so its important to lose the weight and get the surgery.

I keep reading about different surgeries, different treatments and it all seems so confusing.
Sometimes the pain and cramping is so bad I cant stand.
If I stand up for more than 5 minutes I feel like there is a something coming out of me and I cramp really bad.

I have 2 young kids one that I still carry a lot. I need to some how control this pain. Tylenol and advil dont help.

Does anyone have any suggestions on pain management?

Or can anyone give me info about this condition. All advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for reading

Hi, I am much older than you. My neighbor is quite overweight and considering the lap band surgeyr for being overweight. However, she had no problem getting a urologist to operate on her for her dropped bladder. Seems like you need to see another specialist. One who specializes in uro-gynecology and surgery.

I have a dropped bladder and am having surgery June 4th. I have seen 4 surgeons and hope this one is the right one. A second or third opinion never hurts. You have a heavy load carying the kids. I was told to carry nothing over 5 pounds. No heavy lifting, no straining to have a bowel moment. After surgery it will be about three months or longer til I am better.

Hope you get another opinion.
