Hiya ladies. I've got that bug that's doing the rounds and had realy violent wracking coughing fits for the the last week It's only a virus and I'm taking my asthma meds, honey and lemon and even though im a bit fed up of constantly wetting myself. It has all happened before and it will pass
but something different to usual is happening: and its worrying me.
Apart from the usual tummy muscle pain with coughing its causing me pelvic pain and pressure low down I had pelvic surgery 6 months ago. When I go into one of these coughing fits standing up I feel as though my internal organs are going to fall out.
I'm worried it's going to cause a prolapse. I'm scared of it happening and needing more surgery.
Maybe it cant be avoided
Any advice welcome .
-
I had this cough from October to mid-January. Daily. Nightly. Do speak to the Surgeon who did the surgery for advice!
-
Oh TC,
I share your worry when I've got a cough, in case my inardes fall out.
I'd hate to have a prolapse, my mom did, and resulted in a hysterectomy. Many years ago.
I can't offer any advice I'm afraid, but know I'm thinking of you..
Maybe get checked at the doctors, as you've had surgery already......if not anything else, it'll put your mind at rest....you take care, TC, .......xx. :bighug:
-
Perhaps lay on the ground as soon as you feel a fit of coughing coming on though for me it was so sudden :o and went on!
-
Yes clkd I have been trying to lay down to take the pressure off. Dont know how that would go down in the middle of tesco lol
-
Just lay down TC.
People will step over you to get their tins beans.....😂😂
😘
-
You've been to my local tesco then jillydoll. Lol.
They'd push their granny over to get to the turkeys at Christmas 😁
-
I was thinking more of your cough, TC.
They might think you've got the lurgy, and even give you a kick while your down there...😂😂🤣😂
Nothing surprises me in this day n age.....😁😁😆🤣😂
-
Probably be going through my pockets.
I must admit I did have a bad coughing fit and couldn't get my breath in a shop the other day and the staff were realy nice. I couldn't straighten up and get my breath. It's when the astma kicks in but all I could think about is "at least I've got a tenna lady on. I just hope I dont fart!!!
-
Haha :rofl:
Now that would be me for sure.....🙀🙀
I'd turn all the food off!, 😷😷. Hahaha
-
:rofl:
-
Errr, yeah Birdy.....😂😂😂
One of them does anyway......combine that with some foods that I can't eat anymore, and we'll, it's gale force winds all the way......😃😃😃😃 I'm not joking.....😕
-
I don't fart 😇😇😇 how rude
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Hi TC, just read this and hope your cough is better, if not please go to the doctors to sort the cough as it wont help the recent surgery. This happened to my sister after repair and the prolapse didn't completely return but it did drop again slightly. After physio it was ok.
-
I worked in the NHS and always said that if we dropped to the floor people would walk over us but still expect us to take notes in shorthand ;D
-
😂🤣😆
-
You all are so funny. Just when I thout id read it all on here .
As someone who went through 15 months of chronic diahhorea, to the point of being pretty much back door incontinent, and not leaving the house .... I never trust a fart !!!
;D
-
We have to laugh,it can be great fun on here,especially if you're feeling low,have you been on the funny side of menopause? I always laugh at the thread,what have you diagnosed yourself with,it's priceless and will make you feel relatively normal 😆
-
So true mayo.
I've just got a letter through for "aasisted" pelvic physio. Gawd knows what that entails. I dread to think about the "assisted" bit!!
-
😳 conjures up all sorts for the imagination Tc 😂
-
Oops I called jaypo mayo. Haha
Deirdre thank you for asking. my cough is a lot better bladder isnt though. I will see if the physio helps.
Xx
-
If the physio is the same as I had, she will feel internally while you stand and do certain exercises similar to kegals. They can feel the prolapse better this way and make sure your doing it right, targeting the right muscles to reverse the prolapse. It worked for me and I avoided surgery, so hopefully it will sort yours out again. It's not at all painfull so dont worry.
