Stage 4 or 5 prolapse. I’m 53 my OBGYN whats to do a hysterectomy because if I don’t it her bladder repair won’t work. she also is recommending the hysterectomy because I don’t need it only more. My uterus is healthy and I see not reason to remove it.
Is your bladder prolapse due to uterine prolapse? I can understand her recommending a hysterectomy if your uterus has also prolapsed. But, if only the bladder is prolapsed, I wouldn’t think a hysterectomy would be necessary. If it were me, I would ask for a second opinion.
By the way, if you’re worried about menopause, you can have a hysterectomy and keep your ovaries.
