I am a mother of two and am having problems after a prolapse what can I do?
Q. Hi. Please could you tell me if the pelvic floor restoration and the vaginal tightening operations are the same kind of thing?
I am a mummy of 2, tore both times during birth but wasnt stitched. Both were large babies of 9pounds. Now 5 years on im having problems leaking when coughing, sneezing or being tickled. I cant go on the tramperline with my daughters. If i need the toliet i HAVE to go right away. I have seen a physiotheripist who referred me to a consulatant. The consulatant said i have a prolapse but wouldnt operate on it until im older!!!! Im 30 now. Its uncomfortable and when i ride my horse i can feel a bulge. Sex is completely unpleasurable which is causing problems in my marriage. Im at my wits end now as this is making me depressed. Im not sure what can be done, if anything. I have always done my pelvic floor exercises especially after child birth but my doctor told me now i have a prolapse even doing the exercises wont shift things back up to where they should be. Please help me. Also, im not sure how much i can expect to pay for the sort of surgery that can help me so if you could give me a guideline that would really help. ,

A. Thanks. I think if you are really sure you have completed your family, surgery can be done. Alternatively if you have not completed your family, when next you get pregnant, your baby may need to be delivered by Caesarean Section. The surgery to be done needs to be decided – either a Repair operation to front and back wall or together with a sling procedure for the incontinence, depending on how bad it is. Do call us, to arrange a consultation, if you feel you can have treatment in any of our locations in London, Leeds or Manchester. Cost is between £3500 – £4500, depending.
