If yes, what did you have to do to get rid of it? What stage was it? 1, 2, or 3? Kegels?  If so, for how long?  did you have surgery?  If yes, was the surgery bad and how long was your recovery?

I don't, but I know of a few things to help.  One is surgery, in which they tack up the bladder.  Another is a doughnut shaped object inserted into the vagina to keep the bladder from falling.  It depends on what it is caused by, and what your Dr. thinks, what he will recommend.

I have had 9 surgeries, I know.  You have to massage it in a hard way.  Otherwise, if it causes you pain, surgeons will have to back in, remove it, and you will have to start massaging again.

My girlfriend had this and after her operation it subsided though. You need to return to your doctor. Obviously something didn't go right.

Hi :-)\n\nI had the Mirena fitted 4 years ago - best thing I ever did!  I have put on no weight and I have had no problems with it at all!  But I know every one is different.  If it didn't work out wouldn't you be able to have it removed?

I actually used to be really sensitive to semen... I would get an inflammatory reaction that would cause my vagine and lower abdomen to be really sore for about 3-4 hours after sex.  It sucked.\n\nI don't have that problem anymore... guess it faded away without my noticing.. so I don't really know how to help you.  Yours may fade too...  (I have been in a monogamous relationship with the same guy for the last four years, so maybe I just got used to his semen).\n\nOh yeah, one thing that helped in the short term was to take a shower or bath immediately after sex and try to get the semen out... kind of icky, but it helped with the soreness.

I have been there before.  It ruined my life for a while too.  Exercise and drink water.  Lots of it.  No grease and wash your face in the morning and at night.  Dont worry about what the others say.  I made it through it, you can too.\n\nPeace

I had that for a while too.  But, it eventually went away.  Try masturbating more!

I have it removed now I am perfectly fine. \nI think you can discuss it with you doctor\nand see what he will give the suggestion.\n\nSometime if its not that you take antibiotics more than a month\nand nothing better, they might not suggest for the operation.\n\nAnyway ask your doctor.\n\nWish you to get better.

I've struggled with these. Here's what's worked: regular (twice daily for a week), long, hot sitz baths, avoidance of alcohol and greasy foods when acute symptoms present. Regular ejaculations may or may not help. What doesn't work real well for me is a long course of antibiotics. I would also try to get a chlamydia culture.  The little buggers are hard to culture, but if they do, you might have an over abundance and consider a drug intervention against them.  Good luck. Don't give up. I used to get flair ups every year or so but haven't had a bad one in several years.

Don't do it yourself, its super simple to have it removed.  I had the same problem, my doctor gave me an injection of steroids and synvisc (not sure how its spelled)...I was better in a matter of hours and that was 4 months ago..I havent hade any problems since.  I also had that problem where it changes shape or gets bigger.  try and schedule the injection with your doctor when its gets bigger because its easier for them to find it and inject it right if they can see it really well.  Mine was about the size of a walnut when it really hurt

I had mine removed about 8 years ago.. with mine I had the most horrible pain right below my rib cage that would last for about 10-15 minutes, closes I can describe the pain is child birth. I would get "attacks" 5-10 times a day, they would come on everywhere. All I would want to do is roll up in a ball on the floor until it passed... I still get "attacks" even with my Gall Bladder removed, they call them 'Phantom Attacks' not sure what it's caused from, but mainly comes on in the morning when I have an empty stomach, not nearly as painful as the real thing though.

I had this after my oldest daughter, for about 9 months to a year. It was the most awful thing I ever had and wouldnt recommend it to anyone. \n\nI bled every day EVERY DAY for almost a year\nI got pregnant and miscarried\nDecreased sex drive (kind of goes with teh constant bleeding/spotting)\nMoody, like PMS that never truly goes away\n\nI've talked to other women who didnt have the side effects I did, so I guess this doesnt happen to everyone. But this is what it did to me.

Hi Matthew!\n\nYou emailed me before, and I was just about to respond to your email (I never took it out of my in-box!  I didn't forget you!), but I just logged on to Yahoo! Answers (after a few months of being away) and saw your question here! So, I thought I would answer it here so others could see it too!\n\nYes, it hurts / "burns" a little, but it is so quick, it's like ripping off a band-aid.  AND YOU WILL FEEL SO MUCH BETTER AFTER THEY ARE OUT, that you will forget the pain within a minute.  \n\nMy drains were about 5 to 6 inches long....they were plastic....and they kinda looked like a plastic straw with a little "fanned shape" thing on the end.  I think there were holes both on the straw part and the fan part.  What makes them so uncomfortable is the fact that you basically have an inflexible piece of plastic sticking across your abs!\n\nDo not worry about the drains being removed....it is quick.  Good luck with your surgery....I hope your experience is as good as mine was!!!

I was in the same boat as you last yr. Xcept i was only a little younger.\nI was concerned about a lot of things too. But i finally got myself to make the appt. madesure a was thoroughly cleansed that day..and went.\nBefore the doc did it i spoke 2her about how worried iwas and i actually cried bcos i was so worried.\nShe pulled out the instruments and explained the procedure to me.\nAll it is, is a little tool that get put up you know where..pumped a few times to open up to the cervix..and then a little brush that looks like a mini baby bottle cleaner is used to take a sample.\nThat bit is the most uncomfortable.\nIts a HUGE relief once its over.

My honest opinion for you is that it is going to suck for a bit.  You will have discomfort at first usually well controlled with pain medications.  You will also have to be wired shut for a few weeks (usually for about 6 weeks) where you will have to consume mostly a liquid diet.  Afterward, your muscles will be sore and tight. BUT, I PROMISE YOU, IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT IN THE END!!!!!  I have seen and been part of a few of these cases and actually had a friend who had it done about a year ago and everyone that I have asked, would do it again in a heartbeat!  Hope that this proves helpful, good luck with it!

No, but a man I know who had it has been in remission for over 5 years.  Best wishes.  It must be scary wondering if it will come back.\n\nThink positively and get lots of exercise to boost your immune system!!

My son was born with it. I had brothers whom we now believe had it. One of who died because he was born in 1949 & the doctors back then didn't know what it was. It can now be fixed with surgery.  My son had two surgeries when he was a baby. He's almost 16 yrs old now and perfectly healthy.         E-mail me?
