I am 62years old. I believe my bladder is now outside my vagina. ihave had chronic fatigue syndrome, mitral valve prolapsed, atrial fibrillation for 16years and severe lumbar spinal stenosis for 8 years. does all this increase the risk for bladder prolapsed surgery? I have not told my doc about my bladder.
Hello and welcome to HCM, I am Dr Nilajkumar a consultant gynecologist and I will be helping you in your queries. A bladder prolapse or cystocele in medical terms is very very common. It presents as a mass coming through vagina. Usually the uterus also prolapses with the bladder.
Surgical correction is a very good option for long term benefits. As you are having mitral valve prolapse and atrial fibrillation it does increase the risk during surgery. However it can be undertaken in a well equipped setup with gynecologist and cardiologist acting together during the surgery.
So please discuss this with both the doctors and provide a complete history to both so that your risk will be minimized. All my good wishes are with you. Hope this was helpful. Feel free to ask any further queries and I will be happy to help. Thanks for using HCM. Have a good day. Dr Nilajkumar Bagde Consultant Obstetrics and Gynecology
