Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 72-year-old female and I have a severe prolapse. I was told four years ago that I had a problem in my cervix. So was unable to have a ring fitted around the prolapse. I have been told that it is unlikely cancer. Now after having it all this time, I have been told there are alternatives to having a hysterectomy like having a mesh implant or having the prolapse stitched back. But, I am wondering if I could have either of these procedures due to whatever is on my cervix. I am on medications for diabetes and high blood pressure. Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Cervical prolapse has four stages according to severity. In severe cases, surgery is the best solution to relieve the pressure symptoms and to prevent complications such as urinary incontinence. The best solution is hysterectomy but in your case you refused it.
I think you should discuss with your gynecologist about other surgical solutions such as laparoscopic fixation or Le Fort surgery.
Thank you.
