    rectocele op

    I have just been told that I need a rectocele repair and I wondered if anybody else has gone through this procedure and what affect it had on their IC?

    The Gyn doctor said I would be in hospital for 6 days, for 2 days I would have my vagina packed and a catheter in place because they don't want the bladder to get full.

    Any advice from anyone having had this done?

    Rectocele op

    Hi Dixie and Katrina

    Thank you for your replies. I haven't scheduled my surgery yet as I am waiting for a rectal exploratory op too. My gyn wants me to have that done first and then we will schedule the rectocele op.

    I am going on vacation to Florida's Gulf coast in September, so I will certainly not have it done before that. I have also been told I must do nothing for at least 6 weeks maybe more. I didn't know it was such a major op and my rectocele isn't as big as they get yet. He has suggested I have it done now before it gets any worse.

    Hi trays mum,
    I have had the rectocele repair, about 2 years ago secondary to a horrible labor and delivery of my daughter. I also had a fistula at the same time. The surgery wasn't bad. I was in the hospital for 2 days. I hadn't had the IC diagnosed yet. I would be happy to answer any of your questions at all.

    Hugs,
    Barb

    When I had a rectocele repaired, I had the surgery one day and was discharged from the hospital the following day. They removed the vaginal packing before I came home. I did have some drainage for several days.

    I was restricted on lifting for quite a while. The surgery wasn't bad at all.
