The other night I was in the shower and I decided to check how my bits "down below" were doing - anyway, there was this huge red, ridged THING bulging out of me! I freaked out but the next day it seemed to have settled back to normal down there. However, since then, when I walk a lot or do a lot of activity, I get a bulge down below - it feels like when you have a tampon in but it's coming out and I can see "something" at my vaginal opening - TMI, sorry!
I searched the net and it really sounds like some sort of pelvic organ prolapse - I'm not a Doctor, but from my reading I've come to the conclusion that it's my bladder that's most likely fallen - this condition is called a cystocele, but I may be wrong!
Has anyone had any experience with this? I did see the GP about it and he checked me while I was laying down and said that things were abit "lax" down there and that my cervix was abit lower than normal and my vaginal front wall had relaxed abit. He said all this was to be expected and it was a "minor prolapse"....however, he didn't check me whilst standing up and that's when the bulge really protrudes! I'm afraid he didn't "see" the extent of the prolapse or what organ it was...?
Any advice or insight? Anyone had this?
