Sorry to read of your problems. I would think that the doctors would repair the bladder, uterus and rectal prolapse during the surgery. Prolapse of the urinary bladder, Cystocele, can cause urinary retention, frequent UTI's, urgency and frequency, and in some cases obstructive voiding resulting in reflux to the kidneys that may damage them. These issues can be evaluated with testing, Urodynamics / Cystometrics. The uterus being anteverted uterus may put pressure on your bladder it your uterus is enlarged and/or prolapsing. A non surgical option might be to try a pessary.

Thank you for your reply. I have a silicone pessary but the uterus is leaning so far over that it is still crushing my bladder even with it in. The uterus came further down today which scared me, as though it is more positioned to come right down and is lower. Unfortunately, I keep getting told prolapse doesnt cause the problems I am having even from UK Urogynes so I not sure what to do next. Very painful today.
