I have been having some rectal laxity problems recently. I am going for a second opinion next week at the Mt. Sinai colorectal dept. I believe, from my reading on the internet, that I very likely have some sort of rectocele problem going on.
I also believe that the tram flap breast reconstruction that I had 15 years ago has a lot to do with my pelvic floor weakness.
Dr. McDouggal's video today (Don't Take The Doctor's Word for It) triggered my dismay at how the tram flap was "sold" to me without any mention of bad complications, i.e., surgical hernia, which I had, and now this wonderful problem. Did they not know 15 years ago that there could be all these problems with the tram flap?
Also, I am on the one hand hoping they can do some surgery on me, but on the other, I saw a youtube of what they do and I am horrified. I just don't want to be worse off than I am now.
If anyone has this problem, and maybe had the surgery please let me know your experience.
Thank you in advance.
