i have exactly the same as this lady, but i live in spain and the doctors have told me to come back in two months as it is only 16 days since i gave birth do you think this is correct?

hi i am 27 and was told by my gp i was to young to be prolapsing but refered me to the hospital and it turned out i am prolapsing.so it can happen to younger woman too
only you know ur body and if you think something doesnt look right or feel right go and see ur gp.

hi i am 24 my baby is one years old now and recently ive noticed a really heavy feeling down below sometimes i can also notice my vagina looks lower. i have looked in the mirror and can see a lump when i push down is this a prolapse and should i see my gp or can it be sorted with pelvic floor exercises. i didnt think this could happen at a young age. please help.

Hi, im really embarrased and i think i have a prolapse, im 13 years old have no kids obviously and am a virgin but it seems like i have minor prolapse. I haven't told anyone and would be so embarrased going to a gp. Its not as bad as on the video but its like theres flesh in the way. Whats your oppion?

im sixteen and i think i might have this as i struggle to insert tampons. but im not pregnant and not sexually active so could tht still be possible ?

i find that my vaigia is very big i cannot satifire my husband as i get very wet i wee when i cough or sneeze can you help and tell me wots wrong i am 46 and had 2 boys 25 years ago weight 8lb 9os

Hi

Im really afraid/scared of having a baby and now i feel afraid to have sex.

Is it very likely for things to go wrong when having babies?

Im afraid of blood, needles, pain etc…

The worst thing is I love kids and am really good with them but i will never ever have my own children.

I only 13

Am I weird?
Thanks

i have 2 children and im expecting my 3rd.i have not been right since the birth of my 2nd child watching the video i know know what is wrong with me.my only QU is will it affect me when i have my 3rd baby that is due in 18 weeks?. i have been to see my gp but she said i was fine i need help.Thank you

Recently I have found a lump in my vagina, it doesnt hurt or anything and I wouldnt have known it was there if I didnt clean myself as thats when I found it. I have been to the gp and she said it was part of my bowel coming through the wall of my vagina and has referred me to a gyno at the hospital. I am scared even though this film of the lady is reassuring to me to know I am not a freak. I dont have any probs when I wee or poo. Just this bulge.

I have recently ecome aware of what I believe is a vaginal prolapse. I have a feeling of heaviness and am able to feel something in my vagina. When I looked into the mirror to inspect I found a bulging area inside the vagina and slight bulging on the outside, slightly more on one side than the other, although the prolapse itself does not buldge outside the vagina and vaginal tissue remains clearly visible. I am currently 37 weeks pregnant and planning a home birth. Will this interfer with my delivery?
