Hi folks. I had wndometrial cancer and robotic hysterectomy last Jan (2025) then radiotherapy. Had a lot of on going digestive issues with severe bloating and pain and the doc has referred me to general surgery I’m now almost due that appointment it’s taken ages. Go thinks hernia and it is quite big now and I’ve started having an absolute desperate need to pee even after I’ve just done it and it’s like a dragging pain as if everything has fallen down. I am thinking prolapse perhaps from the extreme pressure from the bloating and gas but also worried something else. Has anyone had prolapse with desperate burst g feeling at all?
Hi Sandra123
I am sorry to hear that you have had some ongoing issues since your cancer treatment.
You have done the right thing in going to your GP and hopefully your appointment will come back soon.
In the meantime I would suggest contacting your CNS. I remember that you had previously had some pain and it turned out to be insufficiency fractures after the radiotherapy and that also you mentioned the possible prolapse before. So this is a symptom that perhaps you have been concerned about for a while. Have you discussed your concerns about having a prolapse with your GP?
After radiotherapy it is possible to have some late effects and these can more commonly be bowel and/or bladder. However if you have not been examined recently I feel it may be an idea to give your CNS a call and just make sure that there is nothing related to your previous cancer/treatments. It sounds like you have a lot going on and although there can be some pressure with bloating and gas that may be a factor- this does need checking out. If there is a hernia causing the pressure then it sounds like it needs investigating more quickly- if it is affecting your bladder to this extent. I would also suggest mentioning the insufficiency fractures as I wonder if there is any connection with it all.
Please do not continue to suffer with these effects. Give your CNS a call. Get checked over and then take things from there. It is better to get fully checked than to worry about something else.
if you would like to talk it over with one of the Macmillan Nurses first, then do give the Support Line a call tomorrow.
Jane
