Thanks, Bob.
Surgery has been considered. We, the doctors and I, haven't yet decided. However, it is a little more complicated than just a rectocele.
All these 'cele's haven't just begun to be a problem. This has been a small problem for many, many, many years; it has just now, over the past 3 years become a daily problem with severe constipation and a problem with intercourse 95-100% of the time. The "remedies" for the constipation haven't worked so well, unless they take me to the other extreme. Even being in the other extreme doesn't alleviate the incontinence. I haven't had what you might call a "normal" BM in many, many years. (perhaps that's partly due to the sigmoid colon problem and partly due to IBS; don't really know)
Also, I have done the Kegel exercises and have even had 6 weeks of electronic stimulation of those muscles. The bladder problems are not at all severe so I'm not going out of my mind about those.
However, the bowel problems, and the bowel incontience problems are driving me insane!
I did correspond with Letty. Her surgery was successful. I don't know if it was the same kind of surgery that may be needed in my case.
Thanks for your help.
