How Can A Prolapsed Bladder Be Treated?
I am a 79 yr old woman. I now have a vaginal pessary for a prolapsed bladder. I have tried legal excercises, biofeedback, etc. the pessary does work for me but is causing me repeated UTI’s. My dr. Has suggested a surgical procedure that closes off the vagina permanently. I might add that I have a history of C-diff infection x2. So repeated antibiotic is not a good option. I am not really in favor of the forever kind of surgery...are there other options for me? Thank you, Shirley

hi,
Prolapsed bladder is called cystocele, these can be repaired called cystocele repair instead of complete closer of vagina , it will be a better option for u, where only anterior vaginal is cut and tightened to push bladder up ,take care
