Also Dr, Luis Sanz. Very experienced and the *doctor's doctor.*

I do not recommend him. I was referred to him by my OBGYN as the BEST in this area and he sure THINKS he's the best in this area and doesn't mind telling you. Normally I can see past a huge ego and bad bedside manner, but in my case i actually had surgery with him and almost 4 years later I still can't have sex without intense pain. Their answer (Sanz and my OBGYN) - take a pain reliever before having sex. Well.....with little kids and 2 WOHP it's not something that we plan in advance all of the time nor do I think it's healthy to take a pain reliever that often.

I recommend you find someone else.

Bumping this thread because I had a hysterectomy and vaginal prolapse surgery in 2014 and I feel like I’m back to where I started. Has this happened to anyone else? I have an appointment with the uro gynecologist who performed my surgery but I couldn’t get in until October. What to do until then? Are pessaries a good option?

Your vagina is falling out and you’re waiting until December to be seen? Must not be that urgent.

Nya Mackenzie is an amazing PT who deals with pelvic floor issues. Call her.

Are you the OP? Very few people will read your comment and offer advice. You need a new thread.

Can anyone recommend a PT who deals with pelvic floor issues (I have a cystocele) in Bethesda or NW DC?

TIA

You need to see a doctor for cystocele

Go see a pelvic PT! They are wonder workers. A lot of this is very fixable. They can figure out if you are too tight, or too weak (both can cause prolapse) and give you exercises to help -- they are different, so make sure you see a PT before starting the exercises (this is why a DVD is a little scary -- for example, so some people, kegels will make the problem worse).

Also follow "the vagina whisperer" on Instagram.

Another is Intimate Rose -- they have "kegel weights" that really work for prolapse.

Not OP, but any recs for pelvic floor PT closer to NW DC?

Do you happen to be postpartum? This happened to me a week of so postpartum- my cervix/uterus was literally coming out of me. My Dr told me kegals and give it a full 6-8 weeks since it was still shrinking down from birth and reevaluate. Sure enough, at 6 weeks, everything migrated back into place
