prolapsed bladder?

I have a constant feeling of having a full bladder. yet when i urinate it trickles, and takes a while to feel like i have emptied my bladder. I can also feel something bulging out of my vagina whenever i pass urine, sometimes all the time. slight burning . frequent urination 4-5 times at night. hysterectomy done 2 yrs back. have RA and cervical rib, on medicaton for RA. and haitus hernia. age 49 (female)

have your doctor or nurse check a 'post void residual' to test how well your bladder is emptying. If you are emptying well, this may be a pelvic muscle issue. If you are retaining lots of urine, then you will need to stt a bladder specialist.

Many women at some point after having a hysterectomy will experience this.  Since the uterus has been removed, the bladder or bowel will prolapse over onto other areas, usually the vagina.  The only correction is surgery.  Consider this carefully beforehand and be sure that you have reached the necessary point.  Sexual intercourse or sexual function can be affected from surgery.  You can also try pressing in and leaning toward different directions while urinating to see if flow is affected.   Hope this helps!
