For Women Only

If you're a guy, you don't want to read this and you definitely don't want to follow the link.

I saw my family doctor yesterday, and we think we figured out the cause of the frequent UTIs. I have a cystocele. The doctor wasn't sure whether I would require surgery or not, I'm being referred to a specialist. I hope not as the surgery (according to what I've read online) sounds pretty awful, it would require a 2-6 day hospital stay and a 4-6 week recovery time.

  1. :(

    The good thing is that if you *do* have this problem, there are plenty of people around to help you out!

    I'll pray that this isn't the problem, though. Hopefully, it is something more benign.

  2. Well I guess this can range from mild to very awful, and I'm about in the middle. Again, I'll know more after I've seen the specialist.

  4. I see the GYN next Tuesday. I'll update then.

    We've had bad colds this week, so we are all under the weather, me especially it seems! I'm the only one staying up coughing.
