Sarah Brown, a 58-year-old retired school teacher and mother of three, had been experiencing a persistent feeling of pressure and a bulge in her vagina for over two years. After two vaginal deliveries of large babies and years of heavy lifting as a gardener, she began to notice a 'heaviness' and discomfort, especially after long days on her feet. Simple activities like walking her dog or grocery shopping became exhausting, and she lived in constant fear of urinary leakage. Her GP referred her to a gynaecologist, who diagnosed a significant cystocele (bladder prolapse) and rectocele (rectal prolapse). The doctor recommended a vaginal prolapse repair surgery, explaining that her quality of life was being severely impacted. Sarah was terrified of surgery but desperate for relief. The procedure went smoothly. The initial recovery involved catheter use and significant pelvic rest for six weeks, which required patience. A year later, Sarah feels transformed. The constant pressure is gone, and she has regained her confidence and energy. Her emotional journey was one of quiet suffering to hesitant hope, and finally to profound gratitude and a renewed zest for her active retirement.
