Prolapse

Hey ladies Sorry this has probably been asked before but I can’t find any posts… I was having a feel the other night (lol sorry) and I’ve got a fleshy bulge in my vagina, not that far in. I’m pretty shocked as I can’t feel it unless literally with my fingers. I’ve booked a doctors appointment but I would really appreciate any information or experience from others to manage my expectation. I thought a ‘prolapse’ meant bits of you hanging out, but this is still inside but possibly ‘out of place’. And what could it be? No pain or discomfort, and I don’t feel like I need to wee more urgently than usual or anything like that. To add to this, I’ve had to book a smear and I’m worried THAT could hurt. I’ve not had to put a tampon in yet… Anyway, would be so appreciative of any thoughts! 🙏

Could be a rectocele, which I think is somewhat common after birth / weakened pelvic floor! https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pelvic-organ-prolapse/

I have a cystoxele, rectocele and uterine prolapse! Since my second baby around 10 years ago. No terrible symptoms really and I've been plodding along doing pelvic floor exercises and using a ring pessary to help the few symptoms i do have. I've even had 2 more babies since with no issues! Just being back to gynea today to discuss a surgical repair bow that I've finished my family. It could be any of the above prolapses, and no, it doesn't have to be hanging out ofnyou, there are different degrees of prolapse. If it's not causing you any symptoms then there's nonreal cause for alarm, it's probably quite mild and can be managed by pelvic floor exercises and seeing a women's health physio x

I know it sounds weird but I had a slight prolapse with my first and sometimes it can reverse itself naturally too.. mine did after 8 months and I did some vaginal tightenings a day sometimes too which probably helped too x

Thank you all - I have booked a doctors apt and will see what they say 🙈
