#103, I got my broken vagina fixed (Part II)
Why I decided to have prolapse surgery, how I picked my surgeon, and a hate note to pessaries.
Start with Part I.
This is Part II of III or maybe IV. I’ve turned on payments (i.e. Substack subscription) for the rest of the series because I ultimately couldn’t bear this all hanging out there and found myself more guarded in writing about it if I thought it was for entirely public consumption. I am also really mean about Facebook prolapse groups in Part III and don’t want that to be easily linkable. Substack doesn’t let me charge by the issue, but if you sign up for monthly subscriptions and then cancel once the last part’s out (or wait to subscribe until they’re all out so you can read them at once), you should be set.
Part II covers the following:
What was the matter with your vagina?
What did you do in the meantime? (info on pelvic floor PT, pessaries, things I found that worked)
Did your third pregnancy make the prolapse worse?
How did you choose your surgeon and which surgeon did you go with?
What kind of surgery did he recommend?
Tightening, hmm, was this also vagina cosmetic surgery?
How did the urodynamic testing go?
