 Posted: 06/04/07 - 18:16 Post subject: To Bladder Sling or not to sling??? |
  |

I am 30 years old. I have had 5 children, all of which were vaginally delivered. I have been diagnosed with stress incontinence. My symptoms are mainly frequent feeling of bladder fullness and frequent urination. If my bladder is full and I cough or sneeze I'll leak a bit, much like I always did when I was 8 or 9 months pregnant. It doesn't bother me so much, I don't leak often, I just have to run to the bathroom several times. I do however feel some pain in my urethra. Not burning when I urinate or the urge to urinate like with a UTI, just pain after urinating often and even after sex. I take Uristat or AZO often to numb the pain. I went back to my urogyn today for the urodynamic study and had them send a sample of my urine off for another culture. The catherter insertation was extremely painful. It always is for me. Is that normal? It was very tiny, he showed it to me, yet the pain was almost unbearable!  I had to immedately take Uristat as soon as I left the office to try to numb the pain as quickly as possible it still hurt so bad. The Dr. spoke to me about probably needing a bladder sling. He made it seem like a piece of cake, and since I am having a different vaginal surgery, he suggested doing it all at once. "Better now than the problem getting worse and you having to get it later." It all made since to me, but after doing some research on here, I'm now terrified of the sling actually causing more problems!!! Any comments or advice would really be appreciated! Also, does anyone having the sling notice any difficulty or pain or discomfort when working out, jogging, having sex, etc? Do you have to be 'extra' careful???? I'm only 30! Thanks |

| Get the sling...I got one about seven years ago (when I was 33) and it was the best thing i ever did. I couldn't laugh, sneeze, dance, run or exercize without leaking. Now I am physically fit...i run, exercize, dance, laugh and sneeze without worrying about leaking... |
