What is the procedure to repair a cyctocyle and rectocyle?

I was diagnosed with this plus something else (entocyle maybe?) I went to a Uro-gynocologist for a diagnosis and to see what my options are. He was very rude, barely spoke to me and gave me the bums rush out of his office ending the visit with "You're FAT and I wouldn't touch you unless you lost at LEAST 50 lbs." Well I've lost 82 lbs since this visit, but I would never go back to this jerk and I've given him bad ratings on every 'rate your doctor' sight on the internet. I was wondering if weight loss cures these conditions? Also if anyone has had this type of surgery please let me know how it went and what the recovery time was. Thank you!!

2. Well at least his rudeness got you to lose weight did it not? Maybe you just needed some tough love, it obviously worked and you're healthier for it. BTW lack of sexual activity and low estrogen is usually associated with those conditions. Poor muscle tone also contributes.
3. I'm a doctor and I've assisted during this operation many times. The reason why your Gyno asked you to lose weight is not to insult you (though he should have been tactful), but rather to minimise your anaesthetic risk, decrease the amount of abdominal pressure pushing your prolapse out (thus decreasing the degree of your prolapse), and to help you with any urinary symptoms (you didn't say whether you had any). The operation its self is fairly simple. The stretched and enlarged sections of the front and back walls of the vagina are snipped out and sewed back together. You would have an iodine/antiseptic soaked pack taken out of the vagina on day 3 post op and assuming no complications then home by latest day 7. Very occasionally there can be complications such as infection, bleeding, and urinary symptoms but these can be minimised using good surgical technique and vigilant post op care. In such cases, you would need a slightly longer stay in hospital. Your doc should talk you through all the risks vs. benefits before the op. Hope this helps. All the best.
