My wife is 45 years old and she has prolapsed uterus and bladder. From what I have read, this will be an increasing problem for the baby boom generation. The only treatment her doctor recommended to her was hysterectomy with repair. I have heard this might fail and lead to some other problems. I am very much worried for my wife so I want to know more about hysterectomy for prolapsed bladder and uterus.

I think it is true that most doctors will include in their recommendations for pelvic prolapsed surgery. Scientific studies have not adequately addressed when hysterectomy is more successful. Whether removing the uterus makes prolapsed surgery any more or less successful than when the uterus is left. These studies have shown that correction of stress incontinence alone is neither more nor less successful if hysterectomy is performed. Many women request hysterectomy. For example, pre-menopausal women request it because they feel that the absence of menses will be more convenient. After this, if they are having pain, abnormal bleeding or Pap smear problems, they think that those conditions will go away. Postmenopausal women request hysterectomy because removing the uterus with its cervix and the ovaries will almost totally abolish the chance of cancer. That is why I cannot tell you whether she should do hysterectomy for prolapsed bladder and uterus. If her doctor saw that would be the best for her, I would suggest you to do what he says.

I had the same issue and I did't wanna go through surgery for a few reasons one of it is that it doesnt always solve the whole issue and then you need repeated surgery which can cause infections etc

I tried something called V-Brace which was/is wonderfull.

Checkout the website, www.fembrace.com. I'm sure u'll be happy you did.

I am a very good costomer so if you care you can tell them that Brenda B. told you about them.

Good luck & I hope your wife feels better very soon

What will doctors do when you have a prolapsed uterus, and you go into the labor? Can I give birth naturally, or do I need a c-section?
