Cystocele, fallen bladder
My friend just a few weeks ago had surgery to fix it. After years of having
a fallen bladder. She is off work for a month now. Not allowed to do anything for 4 weeks. -- Laura, TTC #2 and Mommy to Izabella **Feb 10th, 2003** And 2 felines *Ashes(3) & George (5)* http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/i/izabellawelburn/ "Judy King" wrote in message ...

Cystocele, fallen bladder
Hi, Wow, we should talk!!!! I have a herniated bladder AND colon,
it's pretty gross, have a big bulge coming out my vagina--feels pretty yuckky. My OB/GYN tells me to wait until I have all the kids I want, then we can address by surgery if it's appropriate after a review at that time. Currently, the best thing is to do Kagel exercises (pretend you're peeing, then stop the pee flow, then pee again, then stop the pee flow, etc.....keep doing it LOTS, while driving, while watching TV etc...) Breastfeeding does hinder the situation, because there is a lessened amount of hormones (Progesterone??) that can also make the situation improve. But for me, bf is waaaaay more important than my cycstocele. So I just do Kegels when I remember and don't worry about it too much and will deal with it when I'm done having all my babies--perhaps surgery then. BTW, you can opt to either have a full hysterectomy, or just surgery to correct the cystocele/fallen bladder while keeping your uterus intact. At this point, I'm pretty sure that I'll opt to keep my uterus intact and NOT have a hysterectomy, though many "old school" docs recommend a hysterectomy (or, docs who are lazy and more familiar with doing hysterectomies as opposed to more precise, corrective surgery). Be sure to get a 2nd opinion if you're being advised for surgery/hysterectomy. Take care, feel free to email me: . Best, Sarah |
