Surgical
Repair
Pelvic support problems may be corrected by
sur-gery. The type of support problem you have will
decide whether surgery is done through the vagina
or abdomen.
It is best
to put off surgery for pelvic support problems
until you have completed your family. This is
because if you have uterine prolapse, your doctor
may suggest that your uterus be removed as a part
of the procedure. If the uterus is left in place, a
later vaginal delivery may increase the chances
that a cystocele or rectocele will recur. If you
have severe pelvic support problems and wish to
keep your uterus so that you might still have
children, discuss this with your
doctor.
If you decide to
have surgery, you should be aware of the
risks:
- The
operation may fail to correct your symp-toms,
and more surgery may be needed
later.
- Chronic
pain, discomfort, or pain during sex may persist
if they were present before the
surgery.
- Surgery may
not correct your urinary or bowel problems
.
Your vagina may
be smaller after surgery. It may not be shorter,
though. It is not likely to be so small that you
will not be able to have
sex.
Surgery may
relieve some, but not all, of the symptoms caused
by pelvic support problems. In a few cases,
symptoms may return. The doctor has to use the
already weakened fascias, ligaments, and muscles
that are within your pelvis to improve your pelvic
support. In some cases, synthetic materials that
the body accepts well may be used to help correct
the problems. If you have had prior surgery or
radiation, there is a much lower success
rate.
The factors that
caused you to have prolapse in the first place can
cause it to occur again. After sur-gery, you should
control your weight, avoid constipation, not smoke,
and avoid activities, such as heavy lifting, that
put pressure on these muscles.
