Well sorry someone was calling me and I had to cut that short.  I had a prolapsed uterus with rectocel and cystocel repairs. My surgeon said I cannot lift anything over 20 pounds and thats not much. My entire life I have moved washers and pianos hahaha no wonder my inners fell out. But now I am older I just can't do it anymore or I will pay for it, thats why I asked if you lift.  However chronic constipation will help to give you a rectocel and maybe even prolapsed rectum, so do be careful. My mum was from Manchester!

I wish you good luck and a speedy recovery. Please keep me posted on your progress. Do you lift heavy things at all and or do you get constipated chronic type?  You must have been having so much discomfort. Hope they fix you up good.

hi from prolapsed im currently  awaiting  further surgery  mri scan showed  its prolapsing internally so now they are going to go through my abdomen  to lift   it back into place  he says the op is called  anteria rectopexy   he says its at my anal junction and it goes into like a funnel  and with any kind of prolapse it gets worse with sitting or standing and it is irritating my bowel  i feel confident  this surgeon is a professor a bit scared of having more surgery this is a fairly big operation but needs must i will let you know   as soon as i can thanks for your post i was getting  worried but at least ive got a diagnosis  thankyou again

It almost sounds like a hernia the way they are describing it.  I would think when it is repaired you would have lost a good amount of if not all your low back pain with it. Good luck.  Let me know how you make out at doctors.
