Prolapse:

I had been experiencing discomfort and a dragging sensation in my lower bowel area, and on investigation I could actually see the prolapse protruding.

I felt very concerned about this and thought I should seek medical advice as soon as possible.

An appointment was made for me to attend ‘The Well Woman Clinic' on Friday 6th March.

I explained to the doctor the symptoms I had been experiencing as well as being aware of what I believed to be the prolapse protruding.

The doctor gave me an internal examination, and confirmed that in her opinion it was a prolapse and suggested that I make an appointment to see my GP as soon as possible.

I made an appointment and went along to see my GP on Thursday 12th March 1998. I explained the symptoms I had been experiencing, discomfort and a dragging sensation and being aware of the prolapse. I also informed her that the doctor at the clinic had advised me to see her as soon as possible, as in her opinion the protruding prolapse needed urgent attention.

My GP gave me an internal examination and explained to me that she had reached the same conclusion as the doctor at the Well Woman clinic and that I was indeed suffering from a protruding prolapse. With two doctors making the same diagnoses I was referred to a specialist, as he considered it to be urgent. This appointment was made for the following Monday (16th March).

I did not want to undergo an operation so I decided to contact Dr. Kaur and be treated with Neurofeedback. As this was urgent it was decided that intensive training over a four day period would be appropriate.

My first session was on Thursday 12th March. At this session I actually experienced the feeling of tightening and firming up in the area of the prolapse.

I then had two sessions on Friday 13th March, during these sessions again I was aware of my prolapse actually contracting and becoming firmer and tighter.

I followed on with the treatment for two more sessions on Saturday and one on Sunday.

After my session on Sunday, the discomfort had completely gone and I felt really firm and tight with no dragging sensation.

When I arrived home I examined myself and found that the protruding and hanging prolapse had contracted back into its correct position and was no longer protruding.

I kept my appointment with the specialist on Monday 16th March. He gave me an internal examination using various instruments and said the prolapse had gone back to its correct position and an operation would not be necessary, he added that to achieve this one would normally have to do pelvic floor exercises continually for about three years to achieve this, if at all possible. His final diagnoses was that in his opinion I did not need an operation.

I cannot express how relieved and happy I felt, that because I had received intensive Neurofeedback training over a four day period the operation had been avoided.
