u/plazaplum

I'm super confused by a colorectal being so dismissive of my concerns, especially after looking over tests. I've already seen two prior to this one and I came in with all my imaging and previous results plus she ordered an anorectal manometry as well as sonogram and anal emg.

Current problems/diagnosis: rectal intussusception, rectal prolapse, grade 2 rectocele, grade 2 cystocele, hypermobile urethra, urethral stricture, nerve damage, and EDS.

I've had the following surgeries:

Complete hysterectomy (grade 4 uterine prolapse, g4 bladder prolapse, g4 rectal prolapse)

Posterior vaginal repair to support the rectal prolapse

Anterior vaginal repair

Bladder suspension with mesh

Open abdominal sacropoxpley with mesh

Mid urethral sling

Bulkamid injections

Second mid urethral sling placed over first

Posterior vaginal repair for recurrent g3 rectocele

Open abdominal removal of mid urethral slings and replacing with fascia sling

Medtronic nerve stimulator placement

Sling excision

I went in with the following recent tests and imaging:

VCUG

Urodynamics

Fluro-urodynamics

Mri defography

Cystoscopy

Vaginal ultrasound

Urethral ultrasound

One doctor interpretation of the tests contained the following:

Internal anal sphincter is almost separated

Both sphincter rings are functional about 20% of normal

Rectal intussusception

Tortuous colon

This new doctor states there's nothing wrong with me aside from weak pelvic floor. She sees no evidence of rectal prolapse, intussusception, or anything beyond an extensive surgical history. Her key takeaway was my internal sphincter was damaged from repeat hemorrhoid surgeries. (Which I've never had)

When I have some pushback with my issues she blames it on hemorrhoid surgeries. We went back and forth three times on this! She then tells me I can only have the written reports to take to another doctor and no images are saved of any of the sonogram or the expulsion test.

Has anyone had a doctor be SO off the mark or gaslight you that badly?

TL:DR doctor gaslighting after reviewing a ton of tests and dismissing all of them.
