cervical prolapse

[missy343]

my cervix is palpable ( feels protuberant) 2cm from the entrance to my vagina, and is also easily palpable from the rectum.  I find i have a dragging "weighty" sensation when i stand for long periods, eg in meetings or doing the dishes.  My GP has done a pelvic exam and says this is normal after childbirth (I had a son 3 years ago - difficult delivery and with a vaginal repair necessitated 6 months later).  I am a little bit dubious tho as prior to having an extensive vaginal repair my GP said it all looked normal then too.  Am I being over anxious?  My problem now is that I need a GP referal to see my OBGYN.  I did (and continue to do) pelvic floor exercises to no avail.  I feel really upset and vulnerable as I am pretty sure this is not normal but what I can I do?  Should I just get over it?
Help!!!!

guess what team! went to a gynaecologist and definitely a prolapse and defintiely not normal! so glad I got another opinion............ just trying to decide on surgical options now.   so the moral of the story is keeping seeing different doctors til some one takes you seriously eh?

Hi, I have recently had the same problem as you.  What has really helped me is going to a pelvic floor physio specialist.  They really understand and offer lots of helpful advice.  if that fails you really need to go and see a specialist as there are many different types of non evasive surgery options.  Good luck and no you aren't being over anxious, of course you would feel concerned  Good luck.
