Total Vaginal Hysterectomy For Uterus Prolapse
Mar 15, 2013
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 have just been told I need a vaginal hysterectomy later this year due to prolapse of womb, bladder and bowel. At the moment I am on a 6 month intensive course to strengthen my pelvic floor (it's non existent apparently). I am really scared about having a catheter fitted, just don't like the thought. Do you always have one fitted after the op? Also does anyone who has been through the same thing know how long I am likely to be signed off work for? I work in a school but no heavy lifting.

I had a total robotic hysterectomy on 11/17/14. after my 6wk ok for sex, it was very painful, bleeding,watery dishcharge, felt something inside my vag. I went to dr. an he said I had scar tissue and possibly didn't get all my cervix(how is that poss)so he put silver nitrate on it and I went back 4wks. said I still had some so put more silver nitrate on.. went back 2 wks later, said it was all gone and didn't see cervix & I didn't feel anything either (was ok for sex)we had sex 1x and very easy. was painful but not horrible. haven't since until 4/28/15. it was horrible, bleeding, cramps, excruciating pain. deep thrusts especially. since ive had watery yellow discharge (some odor)again -so much its like I pee myself-not pee, and feel a hard, thin something inside vag. (tongue shaped)when i touch it or move it, I instantly cramp bad. I need to know what is going on, y I cant have sex (never had prob presurgery)could it be torn cuff? is that my cervix still left?

I was given a sick note for 6 weeks but my husband is wanting me to return after 4 weeks.
Said I won't need 6 weeks as i am different now to when I had op 10 days ago so won't need 6 weeks.

I had a total robotic hysterectomy 5 weeks ago. Sunday night had unplanned sex. It was not painful, I'd say uncomfortable. When my husband ejaculated, it burned!
Today, Wed. Still burning, uncomfortable and frequent urination.
Does this sound like an infection? Or irritation because it was too soon.
I even resorted to using hydrocortisone last night because it was driving me crazy and I could not sleep.

I feel my vaginal opening is small and tight, which causes pain and difficulty in penetration. I used to do digital penetration and am able to insert two of my fingers together, but it doesn't seem to dilate while penis insertion. What could be a possible treatment? Would dilators work or will I need to undergo a surgery?

I am 22 and the last couple weeks my breasts have been really hurting. The other night I noticed I had colostrum. I had a partial hysterectomy and only the uterus take out. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative what could be causing all of this.

My wife was just told that her uterus is enlarged to a 12? I don't know what that means but I know it isn't good, her doctor suggested inserting an IUD to see if the size would go down, now she don't wanna that because it hurts when her uterus is touched, she's thinking partial hysterectomy and Im thinking that's not a good solution, why not try the IUD? There are a lot of things that complication wise that come with surgery, I'm guessing. What about hormones and other important things your uterus does it has to have more of a function than reproduction? What about sex, and Drive and mood and emotions it would probably cause a major chemical imbalance in a woman's life? She is looking for a second opinion on this IUD procedure like she rather not even give it a try need some advice or possible answers to share with her. Her health and well being are my biggest concern and for some reason I don't think surgery or removing major organs is good for her health or well being.

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 put gemstones in my vagina and they slipped through my cervix. I have seven gemstones that are thin and half and inch long in my cervix and the gynecologist is not available tomorrow. What do I do? Am I going to die or get an infection?

I had sex unprotected (pulled out) Dec 19th and again Jan 1st protected ( however I did bleed a lot which I didn't notice til afterwards but I'm sure its because my partner was well endowed and we skipped foreplay). Since then I've had 2 regular periods. I noticed the pink spotting once sometime before the first period in January it was off and on for 2 days and only noticed the pinkish red when I wiped. I had my period for February as well and sometime maybe a week or so before that I again had pink spotting only for a day or so. Now my period is due in 2 weeks and I again have had the pink spotting once earlier last week and again today. All this hasn't happened before.
Could it be infection I haven't had any discomfort whatsoever other than last month I had a slight itch that went away after 3 days using an apple cider vinegar rinse.

I am 26 year old virgin and having vaginal infection, it was swollen and itchy with thick white odorless discharge. I went to gynecologist and told symptoms without any examination cause i was requested her not to do so and she gave me candistat for candida infection treatment. Now the itchiness and discharge is almost gone, swelling is no more but it is reddish pink from inside what i checked by taking images, and I can see a lump kinda thing at the opening. I am afraid if it is some kind of bad lump that need some attention. I can attach the image here.

I have had a hard lump inside the lip of my vagina for at least two years now. I can't remember exactly if it is longer because it may be. I always remember it being there. I don't remember it NOT being there. It's like the size of a grain of rice and doesn't hurt at all, there is no itchiness as well and no discolouration where it is. I can move it around as well a little but not much. Just wondering what this is and if it could have any health implications?
