Cystocele Repair Treatment in Turkey

Myra Miller, a 68-year-old retired school librarian and grandmother of five, had been quietly managing increasing pelvic discomfort for years. After three vaginal births and decades of physically demanding work in her garden, she began experiencing a persistent feeling of pelvic pressure, like something was 'falling out.' Simple activities like walking her dog or standing to cook dinner became exhausting, and she developed frequent urinary tract infections and stress incontinence that forced her to wear pads daily. Her primary care physician referred her to a urologist, who diagnosed a Stage 3 cystocele. The doctor empathetically explained that the supportive tissue between her bladder and vaginal wall had weakened, allowing the bladder to bulge into the vagina. He recommended a cystocele repair via anterior colporrhaphy, assuring her it was a common and effective procedure. Myra underwent the surgery, which took about 90 minutes. The first few days of recovery at home were uncomfortable, with swelling and strict instructions to avoid lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk for six weeks. However, by her six-week follow-up, the constant pressure was gone. Her incontinence had resolved, allowing her to return to her gardening and play with her grandchildren without fear or discomfort. Emotionally, she had moved from a place of silent resignation and embarrassment, feeling her body had betrayed her, to one of profound relief and regained confidence. She felt like she had reclaimed an active, joyful part of her life.
