Feedback: My Vagina Fell Out!

Most of us were horrified, yet we read on -- with the deepest of sympathies -- as momlogic's guest blogger told us her excruciating tale. Her lady parts literally fell out of her body (gasp) -- also known as a vaginal prolapse. Our readers rushed to speak out:

God bless you, woman. They should have posted this on Halloween because that is a true horror story! -- April

This is by far the most terrifying story I've ever heard. If there was ever a more effective way to drive home the point that you should GO TO THE DOCTOR when things aren't right, I have yet to hear it. Worse than all the pain, though, is that the author lost her uterus and wanted another child. Thanks for the cautionary tale. -- Ginny

I truly feel for you having to go through this whole ordeal. I've never heard of anything like that. But I am glad that you survived and are okay. Now you can use some of your time to help others find out about this condition. You can be a help to a whole bunch of women who might have symptoms but don't know what it is or put it off. We spend so much time taking care of our families, many times we just forgo our own health to keep pace with day-to-day life. Thanks, it was a good article. -- Monica

OMG. That's horrifying, but I'm glad that you are finally recovering. And thank you for sharing such a personal story. --Allison

Good God woman!!!! Never tell a woman who is pregnant (or considering having children) this story. I have had some minor feminine issues -- but this is the worst case of vagina angst I have ever heard! -- jennifer angstmom.com

Best Birth-Control Ever. I am pretty sure I am never letting a man touch me again. EVER. -- Megan

Oh. My. God. My eyes are still watering. You're lucky to be alive! I wonder if you had been diagnosed with a tilted uterus at any point in time before you were pregnant. Congratulations on the brand-new vajayjay, though. There's always a silver lining ... no matter how deep it may be buried. -- Lynette

Thanks for so courageously sharing your story with other women. There are so many gynecological conditions that are kept quiet and not discussed openly. Women have a right to privacy, but it also helps when we can feel free to talk about these things openly in our society. -- anna

I am so glad that you are better. My best friend had a bladder prolapse about a year ago. Although she is fine now, I was so afraid for her. But I know what pain she went through, all the time caring for 2 small toddlers and one older child. She had surgery to put her bladder back and came through very well, thank god. -- kim
