People dont realise the effect that prolapse's have on a womens life, i have a bladder prolapse that is bad enough to be seen, when i saw this show it made me realise i wasnt alone, mine is VERY uncomfortable especially during sex but my gyneacologist says im too young to have it repaired (im 22) as if i have more children it may come undone again, me and my partner dont plan to have more children for atleast another 4 years and i can not afford to have it done privately, so basically i have to live with it with for 4 years, im pretty sure my gynaecologist wouldnt want to put up with it for atleast another 4 years, and whos to say we'll be together and wanting another one then anyway! what can i do?

After watching this programme it prompted me to see my doctor who confirmed that I had a vaginal prolapse; my bowel, bladder and uterus are all prolapsing into my vagina. I am awaiting an appointment with a specialist.

what is the operation called that she had

yeas thanks to your programme i am waiting for an appointment to have mine repaired thank you so much
