Vaginal Prolapse

[livingwith]

I am a 32 yaer old mother of two who developed Vaginal Prolapse about 9 months ago.

I am now scheduled for surgury on March 6, 2008! I am so thankful that I decided to get a second opinion. I have second degree anterior prolapse and posterior prolapse. They will fix that along with the badder. I also found out that I have a deficient perinium. I hadn't even heard of this before! I have less than a half centimeter of my perinium left so they will also do perineal reconstruction to fix that as well. It's alot to deal with in short notice but atleast we are on the road to getting things taken care of.

No one my age has any idea of what I am talking about so I just say nothing to avoid the list of questions that always follow. I am not sure that my husband totally understands.

Thanks for your post!
