I have a grade 2 cystocele. I am planning a long awaited holiday to America and Im nervous to go before having this repaired. We are going to be away for 1 month. Do you think I should have the op before I go or would it be safe to wait till I get back. We re thinking of going in 3/4 months time?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since you are having 3-4 months of time before journey, I advise to get done operation. Cystocele grade 2 is usually not harm much. But chances of infection and testicular torsion are more if you delay the surgery. And both of these are acute emergency conditions for which emergency surgeries are required. So if you have time of 3-4 months, my advice is to get done with surgery and enjoy your travel without fear.
