Hello! I am 34 years old and currently 40% disabled due to various chronic conditions. I am 20% disabled for a prolapsed bladder. I was seen in the VA hospital today and told I require a hysterectomy. (Will probably leave ovaries) to correct a prolapsed uterus and to reconstruct my vaginal walls due to incontinence, pain, bleeding, and inability to have a bowel movement. My question is will this "corrective" surgery cause more issues and if so what are they? Also, how will this affect my disability rating? I have 40% for migraines, 20% for stress incontinence which I had surgery for a bladder sling in 2003 to "correct", but still having issues. Any help or advice is much appreciated. Thank you!
