I am not sure but think I could have either a bladder prolapse or cervix prolapse. There is just too much tissue down there. It's like a size of a golf ball that is movable and feels irritated, I can push it and feels like it belongs where a bladder location is. At times I think it's my bladder then other times I tell myself no it is my cervix it's just low. I know I should just go to the doctor to put my mind at rest. I am driving myself crazy. Have you had any experience with a prolapse and weirdness down in there.

I’ve not experienced this. But please get to your gyn or another type of doctor ASAP. I hope whatever it is it has an easy fix!

Yes, I did. I had a bulge from my vagina the size of a grapefruit. I was too embarrassed to have it checked and by the time I did it was so severe that there was only one specialist in Boise who could help me. I was told the cause was my big babies (son was 10lb. at 2 weeks early) and tearing some tissue as well as a hysterectomy - I no longer had a uterus or cervix to help things stay positioned. The doctor said I basically had an inside out vagina and my rectum and bladder were funneling into my vagina and all meshing together. My surgery was done with the daVinci Robot and I had five small incisions across my abdomen. He pulled the top of my vagina and tacked it to my tailbone and meshed everything else into place. I LOVE that I don't have that problem anymore. However, now that my bladder is free to do what it wants it spasms a lot, feeling like I always have to pee - and usually, I always can pee. In follow-up I told him I have increased bladder issues after surgery so I underwent a urodynamics bladder test which showed my bladder is a third of normal size. Even at night I get up about every 90 minutes to pee. It's ridiculous. But, I'd rather have that problem than a grapefruit between my legs.
I'd recommend seeing your doctor and get it checked early before it gets too far like I let happen. It may be a much easier fix without having to see a specialist.

It sounds exactly like me. After finally getting to see a consultant (it took 4 month!) who told me that it’s a bowel prolapse, I’ve been referred for pelvic floor physio. He said this might help delay the need for surgery. My appointment is not for another 4 months! That’s the NHS for you!
I’ve never had children but I have had a full hysterectomy.
I wouldn’t worry too much but think you should get it checked out soon.

Made an appointment first available April 2nd. I have waited this long another little more than a month shouldn't make a difference. I hope!

I had surgery last June to repair my prolapse. Mine was bladder and rectum. They also did a hysterectomy. I spent a couple nights in the hospital. Recovery wasn’t too bad from it. Mine hadn’t got to actually falling out my vagina. Just felt like I had a tampon or something that wasn’t placed right. Uncomfortable. I would do the surgery again to have it fixed. I still go to the bathroom to pee a lot anytime I drink much.

Waiting a month won't make a difference. It could be any sort of prolapse or a combination of different types of prolapse. It is very common to have more than one because, well, they are anatomically connected. Uterine prolapse is often accompanied by a cystocele (bladder prolapse) or even a rectocele (rectum) or enterocele (intestines). Super common in general, it's when it becomes an issue that something needs to be done. That something can be surgery (definitive) or a pessary. If not too bad, pelvic PT can be involved.
