Rectocele

[jessieblue]

Hello there. Does anyone have any experience of a prolapse down below. I understand I have a prolapse of the bowel into the vagina and this is worrying me as I have trouble when having a BM. I am really scared to go to the doctors as I know this will mean more tests etc and that will raise my anxiety again.

Does anyone have any experiences???

Hi I have prolapse issues too, for a few years and have found a great way of dealing with it through a website called wholewomen.com. I have adopted their specific posture they recommend and way of eating etc and it has helped me live more comfortably with it. I think they suggest that with a rectocele it is really important to avoid constipation so eating more fibre and drinking more water would be a good start. Also when attempting to do a BM sitting forward/leaning forward on the seat can help.

I would encourage you to have a look at the site particularly the forum as I'm sure you will find it a great support.

Take care...
