Which fragrances should, in theory, be gross together or clash, but instead somehow go together? Did you discover it on accident or by experimentation?

I just got two scents in the mail and couldn’t wait to try them both, so ended up spraying different parts of my arm with each, and they work so well together. They are Bare Sueded Vanilla by VS and Cheeky Biquini by SDJ

I had a rectopexy and sacrocolpopexy done on April 21st by two different surgeons—a colorectal surgeon and a urogynecologist. I can’t help but to feel like each is sending me to the other now for the issues I’m having, and I am going insane.

Have any of yall had two surgeons, and what was that collaborative care like? Did you find one more attentive and helpful either before or after the surgery?

I had a rectopexy and sacrocolpopexy back on April 21st to repair a grade 3 rectocele and a mild cystocele with vaginal vault prolapse.

Recovery has been horrible, both at the beginning (which was to be expected) but now also eight weeks post op. I have the same exact pain like it feels like I just gave birth and also someone is sticking a skewer into my vag and pushing it sideways. Doctors don’t know why everything is still so painful.

I was told I needed more time off from work than planned, and told that I have an anal fissure. When I look down there, though, I can clearly see something protruding from the rectum and I am terrified it’s a recurring prolapse issue. I am also having bleeding rectally with dime-sized clots not even when I’m going #2, just all day.

My doctors (a colorectal surgeon and urogynecologist) both pass me back and forth between each other saying to follow up and be examined by the other doctor. My colorectal surgeon wants to examine me again in person. CT scans show nothing emergent or concerning but I just can’t take it anymore. I feel like something is wrong.

Has anyone had complications like this after their repair surgery, or recurrent prolapse so soon after the surgery? ER has been 0 help when I’m doubled over in pain and bleeding because my bloodwork and CT are “fine”. I’m losing my mind.

I had mesh repair surgery through a rectopexy and sacrocolpopexy combination surgery on April 21st to repair a grade 2 rectocele and mild cystocele/vaginal vault prolapse.

I am still in so much pain six weeks later, and it honestly feels very similar to before I even had the surgery. The sensation is that of having given birth vaginally, or like someone kicked me in the vag with a steel-toed boot. (Sorry, that’s the best way to describe this pain)

Is this normal? Will this pelvic/vaginal pain just last forever now? I feel so frustrated and my doctors don’t understand why I’m still struggling so much with pain.
