·Can someone with some anatomy savvy answer something for me?Why is it that when women have gynecological surgeries, their bladder and bowel often pouch and surgery is required to hoist them back up, but men, who never had a uterus to begin with, don't have problems with their insides falling out?Even though I had the supracervical hyst almost 5 years ago, this is now beginning to happen to me. I've had a small rectocele for a long time and it's gotten worse, plus the other day my obgyn told me that I've also now developed a cystocele.It's such fun being female....
She prescribed vaginal estrace for me and told me to try to avoid being constipated....yeah right...and even though she said Kegel's won't help the urinary retention problem, it might help strengthen the pelvic floor. I've been doing them for years, but they don't seem to help much.Having to strain the last 50% of urine out doesn't help the situation either.What are the rest of you menopausal + ladies doing about such things ?I'm gonna post this on the womens forum as well.This is all driving me nuts....
