The first OB/Gyn Dr. I saw said I had a mild cystocele and didn't recommend anything. I went to a urogynecologist and he said the new robotic sacrocolpopexy was the way to go. He down played the use of a pessary. I told him of my fear of surgery due to previous complications from hysterectomy . At that time one of my ureters was severed and the Dr. didn't even know it. I became incontinent several weeks after the hysterectomy and had to have additional surgery by a urologist. Then an intestinal obstruction. I almost died. I would like to try anything first before having surgery. If only I could find a Dr. willing to fit me with a pessary. I read that someone used a large tampon and that helped. Any suggestions?
