I ended up in Hospital on Saturday night during my shift at work :-O I have a pelvic organ prolapse...something I had no idea about until then! So I have a referral to the Gynaecologist or as I call them "Guy in a College" lol! I have to change my diet, lose more weight and do daily pelvic floor exercises. So that is why I ain't been about for a few days. Anyone else have experience of this? Any advice??
As I am only in my early 40s, I am in a little bit of shock. I don't smoke, drink, eat fairly healthy, do lots of walking and would consider myself fairly healthy! I also drink buckets of water too. Thankfully I can still do my walking but have to change a lot in my life as I cannot do heavy lifting, bending, stretching or anything high impact!
I am doing okay physically, still in a lot of pain around my waist and back but I am following what I should do. Just mentally in shock. As my partner says, "It is, what it is!" Apparently about a third of women suffer from this.
I am so sorry I have never heard of this Ananka. Thanks for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't very nice! Thanks Christine :-D
DeleteI'm so sorry this happened! But I'm glad you're doing okay, I was worried.

I really hope it sorts itself over time with the exercises. Thanks :-D
DeleteDang, I'm sure sorry to hear about that but it sounds like they got you mostly taken care of, follow their advice, no matter how difficult it seems. Hugs from all of us.
ReplyDeleteThanks :-D Cat cuddles are the best :-D
DeleteUy cuidate mucho, te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteI will try to. Thanks :-D
DeleteSo sorry to hear about the mishap. 95% of this improves with a proper pelvic floor exercise. The important thing is to start it gently and slowly. Then gradually increasing the frequency. Avoid constipation and faecal loading by softening the stools rendering easy passage of bowels. Youtube has plenty of videos on the exercise routines.
ReplyDeleteI have been doing them each day and eating more fibre. I will have a look. Thanks so much :-D
DeleteOh, my dear, dear Ananka! I had never heard of such a disease before. You are so young! The worst thing is that you have no one to help you. How is your little daughter? Who can take care of the baby while you are in the hospital? I am sorry you are sick.
ReplyDeleteI know things keep happening to me! I am back home and having to deal with things. But I have help from my partner so not too bad! Thanks :-D
DeleteSuch a shock to hear. I hope you are on the mend. I am sure you will recover well. I am glad you are still walking fine. All the best to your health. ❤️💖🌸💖❤️
ReplyDeleteI am still in shock! Thanks so much :-D
DeleteOh no- sorry to hear this! Glad you're doing okay though! Sending lots of well wishes and positive vibes your way...
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself and be well. :)
Thanks so much Greg :-D
DeleteI hope you feel better
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam :-D
DeleteA lovely woman such so I admire, I was 45 years the stoke took made. Poor Ananka, I hope you are alright.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob. I guess it doesn't really matter the age, it can get you at any time!
DeleteGet well soon, Ananka.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kirk :-D
DeleteMy Darling Ananka! How are you today? Get well! I am waiting for you!
ReplyDeleteI am still sore, but doing what I should be doing so hoping to see a difference in a month or so! Thanks Irina :-D
DeleteBe stronger, dear friend!
DeleteI will Irina. Thanks :-D
Delete...sorry to hear the news, my best to you. I'm in my mid 70s and have serious heart issues.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. With age comes health issues for us all! Take care
DeleteHello dear: I didn't know about it until you told me. You are unlucky because I think you shouldn't have it but it hopes it gets better with the kegel exercises. I do them sometimes too (when I remembe) because after giving birth I realize that it was more difficult to control my pee. xoxo
ReplyDeleteYes I have been very unlucky! I really hope they help! Thanks :-D
DeleteOh my goodness, how scary! I'm so glad you are doing okay, but it will certainly be a mental adjustment as you start to make some of those changes. I'm sorry this happened. I really hope you are doing well today <3
ReplyDeleteOh it has been a shock mentally! Thanks, one day at a time :-|
DeleteHi Ananka, I'm really sorry about what happened to you, I didn't even know the problem. The important thing now is to follow the advice given to you.
ReplyDeleteA big hug and all the best.
Yes that is the important thing and hope it gets better. Thanks :-D
DeleteI am so sorry to read this.
ReplyDeletePelvic organ prolapse is treatable, and this seems a good site to read for more information.
