Saanvi Singh, a 58-year-old retired school...
Saanvi Singh, a 58-year-old retired school principal, had dedicated her life to her students and family. For the last five years, she had been living with a persistent, dragging sensation in her pelvis and the constant feeling of a bulge in her vagina, which made standing for long periods or her daily walks unbearable. She had also developed stress urinary incontinence, causing embarrassing leaks. After years of dismissing it as a normal part of aging, her daughter insisted she see a doctor. Her gynaecologist diagnosed her with Stage III uterine prolapse and recommended a Laparoscopic Colposacropexy. The doctor explained it as a minimally invasive procedure to lift and support her pelvic organs using a mesh, offering a durable solution. Saanvi was terrified of surgery but desperate for relief. The laparoscopic procedure went smoothly, and she was home the next day. Her recovery involved six weeks of pelvic rest, but the heavy, bulging sensation was immediately gone. Within three months, she was back to her morning walks without pain or fear of leakage. Emotionally, she journeyed from feeling broken and resigned to reclaiming her vitality and confidence, grateful to enjoy her retirement with dignity.
