I am sorry you are missing your friend, and I hope you begin to feel better.
As for the surgery it's all a bit unknown at the moment, but I'm thinking of going back when I'm older and seeing what he says. He's a great surgeon, he's done all of my previous operations. I trust him, and he knows my story.
You have both been exceptionally kind and I can't thank you enough for your helpful and kind words. It means the world to me.
Thank you both. xxxxxxxxx
I hope you both are doing well.
It sounds like the prolapse is making it harder to heal mentally from the rape. You sound so alone right now that I am sad and worried for you. Are there any sexual assault services in your area? Do you have a support system? There are always the hot lines that you can use, and of course, the support right here.
I looked up mucosal prolapse syndrome on the internet, and there is a lot of info out there. I used the "in private" feature in internet explorer because I didn't want to start getting unwanted email ads from anal-oriented websites, which will happen if you look up anything to do with rectal medical conditions. Like hollymc7, I think a second opinion from a specialist, a really good one, might be very helpful. Maybe the doctor you saw had only treated older patients. Apparently this syndrome, in addition to happening from trauma, also happens to quite a few older women, in particular. The doctor should also let you know what to do to take care of yourself best when you have this. I also saw some websites that talked about exercises to do to strengthen the muscles in that area to help hold things in place, advice on diet so you don't strain, and other helpful info. It is so unfair that you have to deal with this, but since you do, it might feel empowering to get all the info you can about how to take care of yourself.
Please don't worry about all the things you want to do with your life right this minute. You are young. You have suffered a major trauma, and healing your body, mind and soul has to come first. The rest of the things you want to accomplish will come after you heal.
My heart goes out to you, TsukikoSCG.
Thank you all xxxxxxx
My heart goes out to each and every one of you.
