Dear Dawn, Thank you so much for answering me. Today, I have been so beyond beside myself over all of this, that I just don't know what to do. Dawn, how did they discover the rectocele, and what type of symptoms do you have with it? I no longer have my cervix. I noticed that the gastro shook his head about what happens when the uterus is removed. I bet he was thinking she didn't have to cut me up, but of course, he wouldn't say that. She is in that clinic. Dawn, do you ever feel like even the loose stool and gas lay in the pelvic area, above and pushing on the bladder? It's so hard to describe the feeling. Then when he said the only 'cure' is surgery, that really did it. Love, Millie.
