Hi Bluebell I have a bladder and rectal prolapse, diagnosed a couple of years ago as being stage 2 which is moderate but not completely out yet (thank the Lord!) I am currently struggling (again) with lower backache, constipation and aching pelvis. It seems worse when I sit. I'm an anxious person and although I know I have this double prolapse and have felt like this before I of course am worrying about something horrible going on! I did try the ring pessary when first diagnosed - it fell out 24 hours later! I was offered surgery but opted instead for physio. I lost some weight which helped along with using the squeezy app from the NHS (which my physio recommended). Things did improve until I started HRT, just hoping everything will settle again. Have to say I'm not happy that I've gained 10lbs since starting the HRT and now I've got these lower body aches and pains I'm wondering if I should have just tried to carry on without it. Not fun, is it? Yes, I do believe the prolapses can cause digestive issues - definitely. At the risk of too much information, when I'm aching in my lower abdomen/back and pelvis my poop can sometimes be thin as if there is pressure inside. Other times when things are feeling better everything is perfectly normal. Had a colonoscopy a couple of years ago due to the aches, pains and constipation and the fact the GP thought she felt a lump but thankfully this was all normal. All the best!
