I’ve been diagnosed with a stage 2 cystocele and after struggling to even get the diagnosis, then feeling as though it’s progressed, I’m just feeling very discouraged.

I went to pelvic floor physical therapy for a few months, which helped with symptoms like pain. But from what I’m hearing / researching, unless you get surgery there’s really nothing that can be “done” about it and it’s permanent. Everyone always says it gets better, but what exactly is better if it’s still there? I don’t want to just not feel it, I want it to go away. The fact that it nearly covering my vaginal opening isn’t enough to get surgery frustrates me as well. I feel like I should just give up on the idea of having comfortable sex again, let alone kids.

Does anyone have more specific experiences with this exact diagnoses? I just need some hope and more explanation.

I have a 2018 ford focus titanium SE. For some reason (which I’ve heard is common), whenever my battery gets low/dies my radio does as well. Last time it happened, I replaced the APIM as all advice says and it started working again. This time, I’ve replaced the APIM and I’m still facing the same issue. The screen doesn’t turn on, but the audio plays, buttons light up/work, only the display doesn’t work.

I’ve checked the fuses, unhooked the battery and let it sit, done the reset where you hold down the button…any other suggestions?
