Prolapse Repair
Uterine and vaginal prolapse is due to weak supports of the
vaginal walls and a feeling that a lump is coming down in
the vagina. There may be no other symptoms although urinary
problems may also occur. A prolapse is, in many ways, similar
to a hernia and is best treated surgically although specialist
physiotherapy may also be very helpful.
Surgery involves admission for three or four
days and is usually performed under
a spinal anaesthetic with light sedation. You will not be
able to drive for two weeks following treatment (or longer
depending on stipulations from your car insurer) A return
to work is normally possible within a few weeks.
Mr Thonet can discuss the exact nature
of your treatment, including procedure
details, recovery times and any possible side-effects at a
consultation. This will reflect your exact circumstances and
needs. The information included here is provided for general
guidance only.
