Please help! Need advice and wondering if anyone else who has had surgery for their Crohn's / UC has had similar issues. I had a pan proctocolectomy with end ileostomy approx. 2 years ago, and I now have a severely retroverted uterus. Basically my uterus has dropped back into where my rectum used to be, and is causing issues with my period and painful sex. My gynaecologist has spoken to colorectal surgeons and plastic surgeons, and no one seems to know much about it or at least hasn't come across it before. I have to go for an MRI, and have been discussing several options on how to fix this, including potential surgery to prop my uterus back up. I am quite concerned, as my stoma is currently working really well, and I don't want to do anything to jeopardise this, but at the same time I really want my other issues sorted. Has anyone heard of this or know of anyone who has had a retroverted uterus post colectomy?
