You should not have this procedure if you plan to get pregnant any time in the
future. You could have complications such as premature delivery or the
prolapse could recur after delivery. If you are still having periods, talk to your
doctor about ways to prevent pregnancy.
If you live more than a 4-hour drive away from the hospital, or live in an area
without easy access to an emergency department, we recommend you plan to
spend another night or two close to the hospital before you go home. For
assistance in reservations, contact the Patient and Visitor Accommodations
Program at (800) 544-8684.
Discharge Instructions
The rest of this handout includes the same information you will receive
when you are discharged after surgery. We also include it in this handout
because it will help you plan ahead.
