1 year post surgery issues with prolapse

Hi Antonia  I am sorry that I can’t help with any advice about your partial prolapse but I noticed that you hadn’t received any other replies yet. MrsBJH one of our Community Champions is having a well earned few days holiday or I am sure that she would have been able to point you in the right direction.   I can only suggest that you post your question on the Ask the Expert section where a Macmillan Nurse will reply but this is only available Monday-Friday. Otherwise hopefully one of the ladies who has experienced something similar will read your message and be able to advise you.  Hope you get some answers to your concerns. XX

Hi Antonia. I spoke to my CNS a while ago as I was experiencing a few problems and she suspected either a prolapse or UTI. Mine turned out to be a UTI so I can't really advise you except to say contact your CNS. I suspect she will refer you to your GP. They'd have to do a digital internal examination. Sometimes insertion of a pessary will sort out the problem, others will involve surgery. I'm not 100% sure so please contact the freephone Macmillan Support Helpline on 0808 808 0000, they'll be able to advise.

Sending hugs, Barb xx

Thank you Barb.  I am told that I happens in over 40% of people after hysterectomy.  Feels a bit scary at my age to be dealing with this.

Thank you Walking Lady

Hi Tonia15. I think cancer's scary at any blooming age. We honestly think its something that happens to someone else. I think it's truly amazing how we manage to accept what's thrown at us and get on with it.

I hope you've contacted your GP to arrange an examination. It's a simple internal gloved finger examination which I believe either a nurse or GP can confirm.

Hugs, Barb xx
