I have had issues with my prolapse for the past 3 years. I have been passed pillar to post and ended up with a stage 4 prolapse. I am an elderly woman and felt my quality of life had deteriorated. I eventually got an appointment to see a gynaecologist after continuous referrals that were marked urgent.
When I arrived for my first appointment at the Pessary clinic, my case was seen and reviewed and I was fitted with a Pessary, however I was advised if I experienced any issues to contact the emergency number.
The Pessary fitted didn’t hold the prolapse so kept falling out, I called the number and was given an appointment today. I was seen by staff nurse Wendy. I have never met a more caring nurse. She was well experienced and spent a lot of time explaining what she was going to do. She was empathetic and had great duty of care.
70% of women experience prolapse issues and I feel services should be more available for women in my situation to get the care I received today, without waiting months/years. I feel this service is valuable and important to women’s health. I feel more could be done to utilise this service for women in need.
