Bladder problems are very common and not neccessarily urgent, so they can wait, it's just having to put up with it. Actually I think mine is bladder prolapse not pelvic, I'm not sure until the doctors examination. Best wishes to you Meg anyway.
thank you , they still aren't 100% sure which problem I have but I am to continue my current meds and to see a special nurse .

My problems with all this have only started about a month ago so I think I'm at early stages with it. Anyway good luck with your surgery in January Jazzi, it's a long way off but let us know how it goes after. Also good luck with the incontinence nurse.

That was one of the most frightening experiences: I never knew it was so noisy!I sat in the consultant's office and looked at the MRI scan and the images taken of the dye urodynamics test, so am at a loss to understand why the repeat tests. The letter IS dated early July but even so. So tomorrow will phone and find out what's going on.
Janet darlin' - that's the problem - the DATE on which you had these tests done. They were like a pre-op assessment, but since the surgery has taken so long to arrange, those tests are useless and need to be repeated prior to your surgery.
I too am awaiting an appointment for an MRI scan (have had them previously). Nothing 'scary' about MRI scans - yes they're noisy, (but I fell asleep on one occasion inside the tunnel) but there's nothing to worry about - honest!!!

The splenic (or left colic) flexure is a sharp bend between the transverse and the descending colon.

Re: Pelvic Prolapse
Thanks Pats and Audrey for the transalations, very useful.
Colonic diverticulosis is among the most common diseases in developed Western countries, diverticulosis occurs in approximately one third of the population older than age 45 and in up to two thirds of the population older than 85 years.
^ I read that as well Pats

Alison darlin' - on the MRI scanner used down this part of the world, there is provision to 'lower' the trolley on which you lay to enable you to 'fit in'. I'm not exactly svelte as you will see from my profile pictures but I managed to get inside it and, as I said previously, fell asleep in there.
