Sarah Joshi, a 42-year-old high school biology teacher and mother of two, had been struggling for years. After the birth of her second child, she developed a persistent, dragging sensation in her pelvis, like something was falling out. It worsened throughout the day, making standing to teach her classes increasingly painful. She experienced frequent urinary urgency and stress incontinence, often leaking when she laughed or exercised, which deeply embarrassed the normally active woman. Her primary care physician referred her to a urologist, Dr. Chen. After a thorough exam, Dr. Chen diagnosed Sarah with stage 3 pelvic organ prolapse, specifically a significant descent of her vaginal apex (the top of the vagina). She explained that Sarah's pelvic floor support had been compromised by childbirth and time. Dr. Chen recommended a Laparoscopic Sacrocervicopexy, a minimally invasive procedure to lift and support the top of the vagina using a soft mesh, anchoring it to the strong ligament in front of the sacrum. Sarah was terrified of major surgery but desperate for relief. The laparoscopic approach, with its smaller incisions and faster recovery, gave her hope. The surgery went smoothly. Post-op, Sarah had some abdominal bloating and discomfort from the gas used to inflate her abdomen, but it resolved within days. She followed strict lifting restrictions for six weeks. Three months later, the dragging sensation was completely gone. Her bladder control was restored, allowing her to return to running and play with her kids without fear. Emotionally, Sarah journeyed from feeling broken and resigned to a loss of her active self, to immense relief and regained confidence. She felt like she had her body back.
