What Is Causing Back Pain And Difficulty In Bowel Movements?
Hi, I was told I had a mild prolapse a while ago. I am now having lower back pain and a constant aching and dragging feeling when I stand and only improves when I lie down. I do find I have to lean back on the toilet to use my bowels. I have had a hysterectomy, but still have my ovaries.

Hi, as you are already diagnosed with prolapse, the cause of ur back pain is the same. Due to prolapse the internal organs sag down causing a pull over internal structures. This causes stretch and may lead to lower back pain. If the prolapse is mild n back pain Is less then u may take medicines for ur symptoms but if it's more and causing disturbance to ur daily work and urinary retention then I advice u to consult a doctor n take his advice regarding surgery. All the best.
