UROGYNECOLOGY: Weight Traing & Exercise After Small Anterior/Posterior RepairsFrom: anonymous@obgyn.netTue, 19 Aug 2008 00:05:59 -0500 (CDT)
I am a very active 37 yr.old. I am a staple at my gym and weight train daily as well as do cardio daily. My urogyn has informed me I have between a grade 1 and 2 rectocele and cystocele. I have experienced stress incontinence while engaging in extreme exercise (ie. jump roping as fast as I for a set amount of time w/ my trainer). The incontinence is not a daily problem. It is more like an every few months type of issue. I held my urine during all of urodynamic tests. My doctor has recommended at TOT sling w/ concomitant a/p repairs and revision perineoplasty. I will NOT be getting the sling as I am not convinced I am a good candidate for it. Also, I am not confident in the mesh material. I do, however, feel the cystocele and rectocele repairs are in order, especially the rectocele because I get constipated quite often and can feel hard feces when I insert a finger in my vagina and literally have to move it along to have a bowel movement. My main concern is that this surgery will impact my exercise routine. My weekly routine involves many squats, lunges, etc.. I also lift weights regularly, sometimes more than 20 lbs.. Is this surgery going to forever alter my exercising? Am I going to be limited to a certain weight I can lift? Will I still be able to do squats or do I risk another prolapse? My doctor claims I cannot exercise while I'm healing. After I am healed, he said I won't be limited. But I read otherwise online.
