Congrats on the new >baby! >God Bless >Joyce Like Elise, I suggested a urogynaecologist as they are specialized in pelvicfloor repair- I agree, if you just need a hysterectomy a regular ob/gyn is okay but for problems with stress incontinence, lateral defects of vaginal wall requiring paravaginal repair - a urogyn has been trained specifically in these areas - I saw 3 reg ob/gyn who told me there was nothing they could do - Im 30, had a G3 uterine prolapse, G3 cystocele and rectocele, had stress incontinence and had to splint. A urogyn has since fixed the cystocele wiht paravaginal repair, I had an abdominal Burch and posterior repair. I still have the G3 uterine prolapse and will probably have a hysterectomy with vaginal vault support after I have finished having children. And I wouldn't let a reg ob/gyn do this either - if you have a tendency to prolapse it is wise to have vaginal vault support at the time of hyst - a urogyn is trained to do this. See http://www.ninemsn.com.au/choiceforprolapse site - absolutely brilliant site with loads of info and alternatives to hyst.
