Hi!

I am being fitted for another pessary in about a week, I had to wait this long for another one because of the damage the 1st one did that was too big. I had to go back to my regular gyne because of work constraints and the tremendous amount of pain and problems urinating with the other pessary. The doctor who originally fit me for this pessary is an hour away and I simply can't be taking that much time off of work. Anyway, my regular gyne suggested the surgery if the pessary works ok for me. The other gyne told me that if the pessary worked well, then he would do surgery to repair the prolapse. When I posed the surgical option to him again, he said "No, way! You are too young" It is better to learn how to live with a pessary. My regular gyne said that at 43 it is wiser to do the surgery than to have to deal with maintaining the pessary! Anyway, my question is, what kind of problems, if any, would I have after the surgery? I have a paravaginal prolapse, my uterus and ovaries are gone.

Thank you for your time..
