Diya Davis, a 58-year-old retired school...
Diya Davis, a 58-year-old retired school librarian, had a history of two vaginal births and a hysterectomy for fibroids at age 45. For the last three years, she experienced a persistent, dragging sensation in her pelvis and a feeling of 'something falling out,' especially after long walks or standing for hours while volunteering. She also had chronic lower backache and occasional constipation. Initially, she dismissed it as normal aging, but the discomfort began limiting her active lifestyle. Her gynecologist, after a physical exam, diagnosed a significant enterocele, a prolapse of the small intestine into the vaginal wall. The doctor recommended a surgical repair, explaining that conservative measures like pessaries were unlikely to provide sufficient relief for her grade of prolapse. Diya underwent a vaginal approach enterocele repair. The surgery went smoothly, though the initial post-operative days involved catheter use and significant pelvic soreness. Her recovery at home required six weeks of strict lifting restrictions, which her husband helped enforce. By her three-month check-up, the dragging sensation was completely gone. Her backache had resolved, and she could enjoy her daily walks and gardening again. Emotionally, Diya had felt embarrassed and 'broken' by the prolapse, mourning the loss of her physical freedom. After recovery, she felt a profound sense of relief and restoration, regaining her confidence and joy in simple activities.
