About Colporrhaphy

Colporrhaphy is a surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to repair a weakened or damaged vaginal wall, a condition known as vaginal prolapse. This condition occurs when pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues stretch or tear, often due to childbirth, aging, or chronic straining, allowing organs like the bladder (cystocele) or rectum (rectocele) to bulge into the vagina. The procedure involves making an incision in the vaginal wall, tightening the underlying supportive tissues with sutures, and removing any excess vaginal lining. It is a common and effective treatment to restore normal pelvic anatomy, alleviate symptoms like pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, and difficulty with bowel movements, and improve a patient's quality of life. The surgery can be performed anteriorly, posteriorly, or as a combination, depending on the specific site of the prolapse.

PATIENT REVIEW

Aditya Davis, a 58-year-old retired school...

Aditya Davis, a 58-year-old retired school teacher and avid gardener, had been struggling for over five years with a persistent feeling of pelvic pressure and a visible bulge at the vaginal opening. After the birth of her three children, she had noticed a slow progression of symptoms, but it worsened significantly after menopause. Simple activities like walking her dog or tending to her roses would cause discomfort and a dragging sensation. She had started avoiding social outings and her beloved book club, fearing an accidental urine leak. Her gynecologist, Dr. Evans, diagnosed her with a significant cystocele (bladder prolapse) and rectocele. He explained that a colporrhaphy would repair the weakened vaginal walls, providing support. Aditya was anxious about surgery at her age but proceeded, motivated by the chance to reclaim her active life. The procedure went smoothly. The first two weeks of recovery were challenging, with strict lifting restrictions, but she followed instructions meticulously. By six weeks, the constant pressure was gone. At her three-month check-up, she was back to gardening and had rejoined her book club. Emotionally, she moved from feeling 'broken' and resigned to aging, to empowered and grateful for a solution that restored her comfort and confidence.
