Ishaan Davis, 42, is a single...
Ishaan Davis, 42, is a single mother of two teenage boys and works as a high school librarian. For the past three years, she's experienced a persistent feeling of pelvic pressure and a sensation of 'something coming down,' especially after long days on her feet. She dismissed it as normal post-childbirth changes, but recently began experiencing stress incontinence when laughing or sneezing, which was deeply embarrassing. During her annual exam, her OB-GYN diagnosed a Stage II uterine prolapse. The doctor explained that Ishaan's history of two large-birth-weight vaginal deliveries and her physically demanding job were likely contributing factors. She recommended a laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, using mesh to support the uterus, as it was minimally invasive and had a strong success rate. Ishaan was terrified of surgery and taking time off work, but the constant discomfort and fear of leaking won out. The procedure went smoothly. Recovery involved two weeks of strict rest, with gradual return to light duties over six weeks. Six months post-op, the dragging sensation is gone, and her bladder control is restored. Emotionally, Ishaan moved from shame and exhaustion to immense relief and regained confidence. She no longer plans her day around bathroom access and feels like she has her body back.
