Question : This is a little embarrassing but here goes, I've been having pain when I pee for about a week now. Like I may have a sore down there. So after my bath I decided to look. And what I saw scared me to death! I called my doc, and she thinks I have uteral prolapse (I see her today). I'm wondering if this could be the cause of my abdominal pain, and would like to know why it didn't show up on the ct scans I had done on the 9th. I've been having problems with evacuation for months now, and am wondering if gravity has messed up everything else down there. If so what do I get to look forward to? I'm post menopausal by 8 years and haven't been active since my husband's stroke 9 years ago. I just want to know if it could all be connected and what to expect.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Pain and difficulty in voiding can be due to a prolapse.
I can guide you much better if you can take a few photographs and upload them, that will enable me to provide you with a more specific diagnosis.
Sexual activity has nothing to do with it, have you had vaginal childbirths earlier - that predisposes to prolapse.
Often, menopause related hormonal changes loosen the supporting tissues of the vagina and uterus, leading to prolapse.
This is not sinister - most prolapses are readily corrected surgically.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.
