The idea of a pessry sounds awful to me. I'd rather have surgery than the risk of something that can smell and cause infection. If I am risk of an infection from suegertgen surgery is the best option right? Also whats your thought on electro stimulation devices. I need a proper disgnosis But pretty sure I have prolapse. Nothing hanging out but when opening bowls tmi sorry. I feel pressure and as though something is pushing through my Vagina. I had a bad cough and I think thats whats caused it. I wanted to start running again. I want to be normal.

I'm in my late 70's and had a total robotic assisted vaginal hysterectomy 8 weeks ago. It's been a rough painful journey. Some days I'm in a lot of pain. The pain moves from the inside of my abdomen one day to my incessions the next. Even after 8 weeks, most mornings I'm nauseous. I'm not sure if that's normal. My surgeon gave me very little post op advice on what I should have expected or what not to do except, She did tell me I could lift 20lbs after the second week - I knew that wasn't right. (Thank goodness for the Internet). She didn't even examine me, internally, on my 6 week post op visit. I asked her why and she said she didn't think it was necessary. I know everyone is different but I'm wondering if my age is affecting my recovery time. I'm going to do you breathing exercises. Thank you.

See I don't understand why, especially when a woman is pregnant with baby #1, you are given all kinds of info- but when you get to Perimenopause, nothing is talked about! All issues that can come up need to be addressed when a woman gets to about 40. If Peri hasn't started at 50...go over it again. And by the way for gosh sakes it should be explained that it's THREE stages of Menopause, not two! I've been in Meno for about 9 yrs- it was wonderful not buying monthly 'junk' but a month ago just started have other terrifying surprises like last month: "gray water" what the HECK?! Glad I was on the potty. Then vaginal, eye, mouth dryness, vulva shrinking- I mean come on!!! I guess I can be thankful it didn't start till I turned 67 but when the heck are we done???? Never?? This is a super bad time too bc my husband passed away. 😢😢😢😢😢

I hope you’re feeling better. I understand what you felt. I too had intense pain on my left side, especially with increased intra-abdominal pressure from coughing or sneezing. Otherwise, I feel good. I have been having a low-grade temp. My highest temperature was 100.7. This morning, my temperature was back down to 99.1. There is something such as having a fever from tissue trauma. This can make things confusing. My incision looks healthy and I’m not having any other concerning symptoms. I had my surgery on 8/7 and now am 1 week post-op. 😊. Thank you for your post. Makes me feel normal.
