Embarrassing Problem

[NotMeATM]

Sorry, I have changed my name as I am very embarrased about this

I think i have a problem 'down there' For a long while now, when i need the toilet, i get this bulge hanging out of my vagina and i have to push it back in with my thumb and only if i push it with my thumb can i actually go to the toilet.

Im really worrying over it, Im scared of what it must look like down there, it has felt different lately too, inside you can feel a little circle and im worrying its my cervix or something - im scared everythings going to fall out

I havent let DH look either, im really embarrassed about it.

Is it possible that things could be falling out?

What could it be?

Your bladder?

[doormat]

dont know but get it checked out asap

A prolapsed womb? I think that can happen.

You need to see a GP Notme. They will have seen this lots of times before.

[NotMeATM]

No not when i need a wee, thats fine

[NotMeATM]

sex is painful too

[Miaou]

Does this fit with your symptoms?

[starlover]

it sounds like it's a prolapse... you need to go to the doctor!

have a look \link{http://www.marilynglenville.com/general/prolapse.htmahere}

[starlover]

or here

there are things that can be done about it so best get it checked out!

Definitely sounds like your cervix has prolapsed. Very common after childbirth apparently, especially if you didn't do good pelvic floor muscles.

I never did mine and one day as I was having a wee, I just felt something 'fall down' as it were (how gross a subject is this!!). My gyno said it was a prolapsed cervix and I tried a ring thing which didn't work. I've lived with it now - just means trampolining with the kids is nigh on impossible because of leaks!!!

It's a relatively minor op to have it repaired these days. The op is on my to do list!

Ask to see a female GP who will examine you and if necessary refer you to a gyno!. Probably a prolapse of some sort.

OMG

Starlovers link is my exact symptoms It says its a vagina prolapse and that in some cases the walls of it need to be tightened with surgery

If there is a bright side, it means you get a designer vagina for free!

[emmatom]

Exactly NotMe! A friend has just had the repair job done. She was only in hospital over night and just has to be careful not to lift for a few week. So don't fret too much.

Oh I am so sorry for you NotMe. You are so clearly distressed by this. Do go to the doctor as this problem will not get better by itself. I just want to send you hugs and lots of love.

I'm sure a MN-er had surgery for this not so long ago.

[SoupDragon]

this is one MN thread about it although I think there have been several. It may be too much information for you though...

OMG at the link (thank you by the way )
