I had exactly the same as this lady. After the birth of my baby in March 2009, I had to be cut to get him out. This resulted in me having stitches. They never healed and I had trouble sitting down or even walking, and sex was completely off the menu. In August 2009, I had an operation to re-stitch the area. It has been much better and I would advise any woman who have this problem to go and get help.
hi im 18 and i have had problems with sexual activties such as 'his penis will not go in'. I looked to check if anything was wrong and i saw that when i pushed out there was a 'bulk' or something wanting to come out, which also came out further everytime i coughed. I have noticed that i have had a lot of leaking discharge coming out regulary and alot of it and this has been for some while.
Is there anything i can do that will help me so i dont have to have an operation as it doesnt look that serious but i am really worried. Or will it go away??
Im 27 yrs old and have two chilrens. i have problems wetting myself when laughing, coughing and jumping on a trampoline. i decided to check my self and i have two fleshly lumps, one up top and one underneath (Like the ladies in the video, but not as bad).

I never noticed my virginal prolapes until I had surgery to put a band under my Uretha. I was suffering from Stess Incontinence and after the operation to fit the band, I notice a bulge in the lower part of my virgina. It always felt like I had a dry Tampax half hanging out. I went back to my surgeon who has now recomended my for further surgery to have this repaired. I have been off work for the usual 6weeks post op for the TVT and am wondering how long post op is for the repair?
Hi im 24 and have noticed a fleshly lump inside the opening of my vagina, when i push down it moves, but not as bad as the lady in the video, it seems a lot of girls are asking this, is this normal?, i cant remember if its always been there, but i dont think so, i dont feel comfortable going to my gp

I have a virginal prolapse, I have just seen a consultant at the hospital who said, to my horror, that I needed a virginal hysterectomy, & my bladder putting back in place. After looking at your video, the consultants verdict seems very drastic to me. I had already come to the conclusion that there was no way I was going through with it & that I would sooner put up with the way things are. I do not have anything else wrong with me except for this prolapse. I am 56yrs old & have had 4 children. The thing that has made it worse lately is the exercise class I have joined, before I joined this class sex would put it back to a degree, but now that doesn't work. I would appreciate any advise you could give me. Thank you. Dawn
hands up to the lady who did this video, well done you. I was so freaked out 2 months ago when i found my prolapse, my uterus, bowel and bladder are all protruding into my vagina. being only 27 i am still getting my thoughts around this especially as my gyno said if i have surgery (the only way to correct this) i would also have to have a hysterectomy, this has shattered my world and i am still unsure of the future, least i know i am not the only one.
Hey, I am 17 years old and i was woundering if it is normal for a piece of skin to be near the entrance to my vagina. I have been woundering for qwite a while know thinking am i normal?. The hole were i wee out of is sort of showing more then i think it should from seeing pictures of other girls. I am able to have sex and insert tampons i just dont feel comfatable knowing whether or not its normal or not. Also after a while in having sex i seem to not get as much pleasure then when we first started. Are you able to help me?
