Thank you Dr. von Almen for your repsonse. I went to try my 2nd
pessary yesterday and the pessary is still coming down when i try to
make a bowel movement and is sticks out of the vagina, is this normal?
My doctor wouldnt say, he said that my problem is very hard to fix and
told me to try it for 4 weeks, as you may know, having a piece of
plastic pop out of my vagina everytime i go is not very comfortable, And
will this pessary hurt my husband since my organs are so low- i know he
will feel it. This has been very hard for me only being 26 a newlywed
and trying to not get sick because i cant go to the bathroom because
something is blocking the way. I lost my job because i have to take off
to go to the doctor trying to get some help, and still have no relief,
can surgery be performed without a hysterectomy or even just to fix my
rectum so i can go?
