Enterocele and Rectocele?

Hello. I am 36 yo. with 1 child vaginal delivery.  6 months ago I had TVH due to extensive uterine prolapse.  Last month in December, I had sudden enterocele and rectocele develop, to the extent of nearly coming out of vaginal area.  Dr. said surgery could repair and he repaired them vaginally.  I am now 5 weeks post op and it has come back!!!!!  I have followed docs instructions to the word and not sure why this happened but am at my wits end.  I had severe pain for weeks after surgery, almost as if a tight stitch was pulling, then immediately one day I woke up last week and it was gone, but I had bleeding instead.  I went to dr. He said this is only granular healing of where stitches were and I would be fine.  He put nitrate on raw spot and sent me on my way.  Since then in the past 3 days, the bulging has reappeared.  My 6 wk ckup is next Tuesday and I will tell my GYN then of what I am afraid that I see again.  Can any Dr. please offer me advice, or what my  next step is, or anyone (patient) who has experienced this as well please post back?  I am so exhausted at this point and I just want to be normal again, but I don't feel that will ever happen.  Please help.

I know my surgeon used some kind of mesh or netting to sling things up inside there.........did you have a urogynecology specialist?  I would want to know if he used something for suspension.
Look to the right of this post where it says expert forums, and go into urogynecology and post that. Let me know how you make out. Good Luck!
