Prolaspe and pole
Hi guys really looking for some feedback from anyone who has experienced a rectal (rectecele) prolapse (posterior repair). Friend had surgery and been advised by dr that ok to go back to usual exercise after 12 weeks, however, I know other people who have also had prolapses and having contacted a very experienced physio who speicialises in prolapse for over 25 years advises against pole with any of this kind of condition because of what it does with pressure etc etc. So I;ve had one friend who hasn't had surgery and she is still having problems (no longer poling) and wearing a ring. My other friend has just had the surgery and well I'm tyring to get feedback from anyone who may have experienced the same thing and does pole. Any advice welcome, many thanks. x

Does this person's Doctor know the strenuous exercise she does? When they say return to normal exercise sometimes they think you take a walk, drive a car, bring in the groceries. I have not had one myself just giving you my off the record nursing opinion.
A properly done repair should fix the situation. I personally would wait at least 3 months to resume strenuous activity so the 12 weeks sounds correct. Might take them up to 1 year to really feel normal.
Let us know what you find out. That is not a pleasant surgery so you do not want to undo anything.
