62 Years Old - Bladder / Uterus Prolapse
Apr 28, 2014
I'm 62 years old. For about 6 years I've been told I had mild vagina prolapse. Just recently I had kidney surgery to remove a stone and had a urinary stent put in. I noticed the other day either my bladder or uterus is down by the vagina opening. My urologist took a look and she told me it was my bladder and uterus. She told me first she wants me to heal from the kidney surgery then she would give me treatment for the prolapse. What kind of treatments are there?

I had a prolapsed cervix and bladder a year after my hysterectomy. It is now going on two years post surgery. I am still having stitches break thru at the top of my vagina where my cervix was removed. It hurts! I'm going to the Doctor Monday, but very scared. I have moved and this will be the first time seeing him. Do any of you know what I will have to look forward too? What might he do?

I just saw a Urogynecologist yesterday who says I need a total vaginal hysterectomy. Of course, I am scared! They did Urodynamics study and my bladder is OK. I originally thought when I went in that my bladder was falling. That's what my GYN at home told me. Not true according to this St. Louis doc. His name is Dr. Veronikis at Mercy hospital. Would love to hear from anyone who has info on him. I haven't scheduled the surgery yet. Still thinking, praying, researching, etc. until I decide. My prob is that my uterus is falling down and pushing out my vagina. Quite an ugly sight!! lol He will do a TVH and repair the vagina. Let me hear from anyone who has stories to tell or similar experiences.

I am posting on behalf of my partner. He is otherwise healthy and 24 years old.
Since mid January he noticed that he was urinating more frequently, particularly at night. He would be getting up 4-5 times a night. He had no other symptoms.
He went to his GP who then referred him to the GUM clinic. They done all the relevant swabs and looked at his urine under a microscope. They said that there was 'something' in the urine but they didn't specify what. They prescribed him with a one week course of doxycycline antibiotics and diagnosed it as non specific urethritis.
His symptoms went when he finished his course of antibiotics. However, a few days after treatment had finished, the frequent urination came back.
He returned to the GUM clinic. They informed him that all his results came back normal (no STIs). They also looked at a new sample of urine under the microscope and said that it looked fine. They then referred him back to his GP.
The GP said that the infection might need stronger antibiotics so prescribed him a two week course of doxycyline. They also performed a blood test which came back all normal with no further action needed.
His symptoms had started to go and he wasn't urinating as frequently, but said that he still felt like he hadn't emptied his bladder properly after he had been to the toilet.
The GP sent him for an ultrasound scan. The doctor performing the scan said his kidneys looked fine.
The results came back yesterday. The GP said that after he had emptied his bladder during the scan there was still 160ml of water left behind meaning that his bladder isn't emptying correctly. He now has to go back for another ultrasound where the scans can be looked at by a specialist bladder department.
Since these results he says he feels like its 'come back' and has needed to urinate frequently again. There is clearly an issue but do you think it's possible that psychology could be worsening the symptoms I.e. When he thinks about it he needs to go more often?
He was diagnosed and successfully treated for an STI infection a few years ago and his GP said that the infection could have left scarring in his urethra which means that it may be limiting how much urine can come out...
Does anyone have any idea would could be causing this? As you can understand his mind has jumped to the worst conclusion (tumours/cancer) - would these show up on an ultrasound? I also suggested that it could be prostate problems but I'm not sure how likely this is because of his age? The doctors haven't performed any examinations on his prostate yet.
It will probably be another 3 weeks+ for the new scan and results and it is starting to have an impact on his quality of life with all the not knowing.

I am a fit, average weight 32 year old woman. Roughly 5 or 6 years ago, I began spotting blood between periods. This would occur after exercise sometimes, or maybe after rough bedroom activities. It was only ever a few drops and didn't really bother me.
It has continued since then. My periods also became heavier the past few years. 3 years ago, I thought I should ask my gyn doctor about this, since I was also having vaginal dryness and loss of libido in my 20s.
So, for 3 years in a row, I've had normal paps, and normal transvaginal ultrasounds performed, STDs checked, all with good results except that the lining of my uterus was a bit thick. My doctor never seemed concerned about it, just giving me a blank "Your guess is as good as mine, see you in a year!" face.
This last ultrasound, a month ago, showed the still-thick lining but also some increased blood flow to the area. Now I have to go back for a saline infused ultrasound to see if they can find a polyp, though there is no indication there is one. It's a guess on my doctors part.
I asked her what would happen if there was no polyp, and she said we'd be back at square one.
So, I'd like to know if I should be freaking out right now. Doctors NEVER take my symptoms seriously (I have severe digestive issues, as well) because I LOOK really healthy at a glance, and a couple have actually told me this. I am worried that my doctor is not taking this seriously enough as all the research I've done on my own indicates precancerous possibilities, etc.
I'm not made of money, and pursuing my illnesses freely is no longer an option as I can't afford to shell out money for different doctors all the time. I would like to know, based on your knowledge and/or experience, if you believe I should invest in a second opinion.
I am also open to an elective hysterectomy, which may sound odd, but I do not ever want children so I don't really care for my bothersome reproductive organs that seem to be a ticking timebomb and nothing more for me. Any opinions on that?

Since last 01 year, I am suffering from acute pain around the vagina. MRI explained that Fibroid over uterus, sigmoid colon and uterus are cohesive with each other. Doctors have different opinion. Help me to diagnose the problem and find out the actual reason of pain.

I wondered if anyone has had issues with rectal bleeding a few years after major anorectal and abdominal surgery to repair a rectal prolapse.

Painless hematuria can be intermittently reduced or stopped by itself. So it can give a wrong impression to patients that it has been cured or turned better. A minority of bladder cancer sufferers have symptoms of increased frequency of urination, urgent urinate and painful urination.It seems to be suffering from cystitis, but antibiotic is useless. A small number of bladder cancer sufferers don't have gross hematuria but overproof of erythrocyte under microscope, namely microscopic hematuria. Therefore, patients with painless hematuria or "cystitis" which cannot be cured and microscopic hematuria should be vigilant and receive timely treatment. Doctors need to consider seriously and do complete inspection for patients, otherwise it would be easily misdiagnosed as urolithiasis, infection or prostate plasia and delay or mistreatment of opportunity.
Incidence of bladder cancer is relatively low of all malignant tumors, but the most common for carcinomas of urinary system and especially for the elderly. The most common symptom of bladder cancer is insensate gross hematuria. It is a sign for paroria. Almost every bladder cancer sufferer have the symptom and 85%; sufferers need to be treated for it. When suffering from prostatitis, the herbal pill like diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill works effectively.

I was diagnosed with a 5mm kidney stone. I had a ct scan and was told it was close to my bladder and it would pass in a few days.after another episode of horrible pain I then began experiencing the urge to urinate constantly with not much output. I am pretty sure the stone has moved into my bladder but it hasn't come out yet.I am drinking a lot of water to try to flush it out. How long should it take to come out once it reaches the bladder?

Has anyone had an upper UTI infection before? - I just got a UTI last night around 1am, burning while peeing, sluggish, etc, but later tonight I started feeling tenderness around my flank area underneath my rib cage, nothing painful, but I can feel it. I'm not sure if that's just natural gas or what. I've been drinking 100% pure cranberry juice for the past 2 hours with lots of water, so I'm wondering if that helps at all?

I've been diagnosed with Endocervicosis of the Bladder and I'm told it's very rare. How rare is it and how can I find a doctor that can treat me appropriately? My urologist doesn't know much about it and is treating me for IC. There is very little information available online. I'd like to find somebody who has treated this before but I don't know where to start. Any ideas and have you heard of this disease?

I believe I have an UTI. I am VERY clean when it comes to "Down There" It concerns me because It hurts when I pee, but at the very end. It also has a funny smell, as if you left urine to sit for days. Also, sometimes afterwards, my clitoris is waaaay more sensitive to movements and the way I walk. I've done some research and I've found that cranberry juice and water helps flush out the system. What do you think I should do? (I'm a virgin by the way, if that helps any) Thank you!! Also...I've used a different brand of soap when I wash down there.... Do you think that could've caused it?

I have just recently stopped taking my birthcontrol for about a month now and I have just finished my period. The last three times I have had my period, The day after my period has stopped I get almost like a crushing pain in my bladder and I can barely pee. The first time it happened was three months ago and it lasted about a week, the second time it happened was two months ago and it lasted a few days and now today it lasted about 3 hours. I have taken a urinalysis and the doctor had told me I didn't have a UTI, he said he would call me if anything else came up and i never received a call (about three months ago). I have been with the same person for about six months now and prior to that with the same person for over a year and a half, and we always wore protection. There is no discharge or um, smell. Nothing unusual other than the pain I am getting. My doctor told me it could simply be changing hormones as my present partner and I do not always use protection. My town is very small and we do not have a family doctor, would really like some answers as the doctors at the hospital keep dismissing me as my symptoms keep going away.
