Subject: Re: ctocele, rectum spasiums, need a doctors insight.....
Hi Dr. George,
Thanks again for your return reply. I try always to stay positive, but
when everything is pushing down there....it tends to get ya down
alittle.
I see a general sur. next week for a final opinion on my rectocele. I
may just wait till my first baby to have the repair. I will try a week
of muscle relaxers this week and then go for an ultrasound of the
rectum.
Do you think i would be safe to try to conceive next month?
My gyn thinks that my spasuims may go away when i become pregnant. What
kind of stool softners are safe to take while pregnant.....because
obviously, i may have these problems with stool for a long long time?
You had mentioned pelvic relaxation. What is that?
And finally, any last impressions you could coment on about the
rectocele. I can live with that during pregnacey, but not the spasiums.
Which has laxed alittle as time has gone by, but is more symptmatic at
night time. Werd!!!
You've been great with a fast reply. I cant thank you enought.
