The comment above was for meow15. And for everyone, it is always a good idea to check for a bladder or urinary tract infection and have that ruled out.
I am 26 and I have had interstitial cystitis for 10 years. Though the part about feeling as though the vagina is going to 'fall out' isn't a symptom of interstitial cystitis, aka IC, the pressure is. But along with the pressure you can sometimes have intense burning in your bladder region at any time or in your urethra when you urinate. Not all women have the the burning, but I think most have the pressure.
With that said, I think having one problem leads to others. Because of the intense pain in my abdomen from IC I think my muscles have become affected and I may now have a prolapsed vagina. This hasn't been proven, as I haven't gone to the doctor yet, but the symptoms that some of you are describing seem to match what I am going through. I've always had pressure from the IC but recently I have been having the painful twinges or flashes in my vagina/cervix. Feels like a 'falling out' sensation. I also feel pressure in my bowels. I feel like I need to have a bowel movement or pass gas but it doesn't happen. When I try to push it makes it worse. Eating less seems to help as it makes it literally less full inside. I hate feeling this way. I can't wear a belt or tight pants. It makes me feel bloated and not good about myself.
I have been having other pain in my upper abdomen that I do not think is related so my doctor decided to do a ct scan of my whole abdomen, just to check everything out at once. Do any of you know if a ct scan would show: ovarian cancer, endometriosis, prolapsed uterus, prolapsed bowel, prolapsed bladder, scar tissue, etc??? I don't know if it is worth it to be exposed to so much radiation if a ct scan wont even show these things.
Thanks! If any of you have figured out what was wrong please post back and let us all know! I'll do the same.
The hard thing is, I think so many things have the same symptoms.

Hi Guys,
I went for an US and pathology tests - I am unfortunately deff Not pregnant. I also have Graves disease - It's an autoimmune disease which causes the thyroid to hyperfuntion. Apparently my pains & spasms are all muscular and it's because I have too much thyroxine in my body. My pathology also showed extremely high levels of estrogen in my body - to which my doctor replied " Oh it means your very fertile" Currently seeing a naturopath/Homeopath who claims this is the complete opposite. My advise get your bloods done and any scans you deem nessesary and take them to a homeopath.

Ladies, I have been experiencing the same problems, I believe that the problem is caused by sitting for long periods of time on a chair that is not soft enough so it causes compression of the lower back and nerve endings. This then results in numbing sensations in hands and feet, even legs and pelvic area. The abdominal pains are also due to incorrect seating positions (Lazy Back), slumping forward etc. There are many different products out there that help support lower back compression. Other reported side effects from lower back compression are blurred vision, sleeping problems, headaches.

Sounds like pelvic floor dysfunction. Mine was related to a hip injury due to a car accident. I had surgery to fix a labral tear in the hip socket, and an ilio-psoas release(thigh muscle was so inflamed that a piece of muscle had to be cut out to release the pressure/swelling).
All my symptoms went away until I tripped and came down hard on the same leg three weeks ago. The pain and horrible pelvic pressure are back. It hurts just to sit, feels like my insides are going to fall out and feels like I have to constantly pee. My abdominal area is hard as a rock from the pressure and sticks out like I'm pregnant!
I'm convinced it has to do with my hip again. I think I tore my hip flexor muscle. Pelvic floor physical therapy might help some of you. Yes...it's exactly what it sounds like...physical therapy in "that area".

Hello girls! I am 56 years old and had my prolapsed uterus removed in 1988, then after more problems in my pelvic area, stabbing pain, pain in my hip and down my leg. Went back to the doctor, and they did exploritory surgery, b/c they did not know the cause, but I did have tumors on my ovaries, but also had endo where there was nothing there for it to attach to. There was no endo when they removed my uterus, and doc said for all practicle purposes it should have been cancer but will call it endo.
Now in the last couple years, I've been having the same symptoms, only I have no equipment. So they think it may be scar tissue, and even something that may be attached to what ever I left down there. Oh, and I also had them check for a UTI and it wasn't one.
tired of hurting and begging for answers.

For me the heavy bleeding started about 9 months ago and at first I thought I was starting menopause. I had just turned 45, over the past 6 months the pain got much worse and the bleeding. In April I was in the hospital and had to have a blood transfuson. I had 2 vaginal ultersounds, one showed that there was a thickening in the uterus. the gyne. ordered another and it showed I have a huge fybroid and a cyst on each ovary. The Dr. thought I may have endometriosis. He scheduled a d&c, a laperscopy and a hysterscopy but, because of my limited insurance, the dr. cancelled the surgery, even though I was working out payment plans with the surgery center, Does that make any sense? I have been suffering ever since, I went to the e.r and all they did was give me a shot of pain meds. and send me home, they didn't even examine me! Now, I was told to see a 2nd gyne. by my regular dr. I have an appt. in a couple days. I am so tired of being in pain and all the doctors. I have seen over this won't do a thing! Does anyone know I could have this taken care of even with my crappy insurance?

Just curious did you have any kind of ablation done? Im stitting here in the exact same pains agai this month, enough to make you scream and cry. I had the Novasure procedure done last year and after that it's been nothing but total hell for me. Please og get checked out, this sounds to me like something on with your uterus more than a UTI.

My mom had these symptoms and found out her bladder had dropped! Same exact symptoms.
Loading...
I am having those same symtoms and it is usually only when my period is on or coming on. Was tryig to decide if I should go to the doctor or not. What did the doctor tell you?
Loading...
The doctor told me that it was 10ml trapped fluids between the uterine wall an the scar tissue from the ablation. I also found out that I had a 1.6 cm cyst in the right ovary and a 8mm cyst or fybroid in my uterus lining. This was after 4 E.R visit's, 3 of them not knowing what the world was going on,finding out im allergic to Morphine, having 2 C.T scan's 1 of them being contrasted and hurting my kidneys and the last finally doing a ultrasound like i've been asking. Now im looking at possibility at having a total hysterectomy soon to fix this disaster.
