My husband said I should try wearing his hernia belt. This has releaved the pain some what. Is it possible that this bladder condition has caused this problem.
Answeryes you might be suffering from either an infection or an inflammation which is frequent is this condition
The most common symptom of Prolapse is a feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen, vaginal or rectal area - a feeling like you are "sitting on a ball." In severe cases you may actually see the prolapse protruding from the vagina and, if so, it may get irritated and cause a discharge or even bleeding. With more severe degrees of prolapse it may be difficult to urinate, causing you to have to push or strain. You may experience a weak urine stream and feel like you do not empty your bladder. You may (though it's rare) be unable to urinate at all, in which case you would need to have a catheter (tube) passed into the bladder to empty the urine. Sometimes the prolapse can block the kidneys causing kidney failure. Fortunately, when the prolapse is repaired the kidneys usually return to normal, provided that the condition is caught early enough.
but also the pain can be due to something else that need a physical exam and further information
so I think that you will need to see a doc for an investigation if the symptoms are infection related or something else and try to consider surgery for your condition
