The most common UTIs occur mainly in women and affect the bladder and urethra. 1  Infection of the bladder (cystitis). This type of UTI is usually caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), a type of bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. 2  Infection of the urethra (urethritis).
Vaginal vault prolapse: This type of prolapse may occur following a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus). Because the ligaments surrounding the uterus provides support for the top of the vagina, this condition is common after a hysterectomy. In vaginal vault prolapse, the top of the vagina gradually falls toward the vaginal opening. This may cause the walls of the vagina to weaken as well.
You will be advised not to have sex for around four to six weeks after having a hysterectomy. This should allow time for scars to heal and any vaginal discharge or bleeding to stop. If you don't feel ready for sex after six weeks, don't worry â different women feel ready at different times. There are many different types of hysterectomy, which will affect how it is performed and what is removed. A total hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus (womb) and cervix.
