Reply to "Any ideas? Pouchitis, prolapse?"

Hi GEB56

I don't know if I can help shed some light for you too but I underwent a proctogram where you mimic going to the bathroom under xray and it showed an obstructive evacuation of the pouch with a small rectocoele and intrapouch intussuseption. I have an appointment with a new surgeon at the end of the month to discuss. What I can gather from a brief conversation is my pouch is tilting and my intestine is bearing down and squashing the pouch and I have a small prolapse into the vaginal wall... I think.

All very uncommon supposedly which doesnt make me feel too much better. It does explain my symptoms and in hindsight I think I get 2 sets of symptoms, those related to the obstructive evacuation and I think I get low grade pouchitis also - the more normal urgency symptoms!

Hopefully I will get some idea of treatment on the 29th!

Hope that helps shed some light.
