Re: Multiple prolapse sites?

Megals

I just got back from having my defogram (which I hope never to have to do again) and the only thing the radiologist would tell me was that he saw several prolapsed sites. Now I have to wait for an appointment with my surgeon to hear what he wants to do. Has anyone had this problem with multiple areas? I am symptomatic in that I have to strain to go, feel like I'm not emptying completely and am only able to go once or twice a day...in other words, I'm really uncomfortable. Just trying to maybe ease some of my worry until I see my surgeon. Thanks

Impossible to predict, but generally repair is possible. Could be as simple as tacking the pouch to the posterior wall or as complex as a complete redo. Bad as it sounds, and I am sure your thoughts are going crazy, at least you know there is an identified problem that can be addressed.

Nobody wants more surgery. I hope your follow up with the surgeon is soon, so you can start focusing on improved function.

Thanks Jan. I'm torn because I'm so glad that the test at least showed what's been causing these symptoms, but also nervous about what the solution will be. I am assuming most of the issues were closer to the rectum. The radiologist saw the prolapse(s) when he used the rectal barium. Then after he saw those he said he wanted me to also drink the barium and insert it vaginally. Not sure what he saw after those portions of the test. I was able to get an appt with my surgeon for this Thursday.
