It would be really handy if everybody that does not know how to spell, made an effort (and learnt or check your dictionary if you have one) when posting comments. I spend a great deal of time trying to decipher what is being commented on. It really does spoil everything and detracts from the message.

Hi, I had the "old" surgery which lasted 13 yrs and then 2 yrs ago I had the sling surgery. Since then I've had pain and urgency problems. I now just had the TVT released on one side to hopefully relieve the pinching feeling and allow my bladder to drain completely. The surgeon told me I had a bladder infection (found during surgery) so he prescribed 5 days antibiotics and now 7 days after surgery I have a fungal infection to complete my surgery experience. I was told that after this infection your body needs the enzyme/antibodies in yogurt. You can also take the pill form (get from health food store) so my sister-in-law who's a nurse told me. Hope this helps me and some of you!

I had the mesh bladder surgery done about a year ago. Ever since then it has been very painful during intercorse. I have pain and bleeding from my urethra. It is making my sex life very difficult. It is very frustrating, has anyone else had this problem. I really could use some advice.

Hi Ladies, Let me tell you my story! Its ugly and if anyone has a solution, please email me asap (_[removed]_). I had a neoprene bladder sling inserted in 2000. I had abdominal pain after sex, sharp pains. I went to the doctor, they told me I had infections. This went on for a while. Then, they said that the sling had penentrated my bladder and did surgury to burn it out. They left what wasnt inside my bladder refusing to remove it, saying it could not be done. Still pain after sex. I go to the Gyn, he yanks my ovaries, saying that the pain is caused by them. I still have pain, and its now 2007. Cant get a decent doctor to touch me and get this thing out of me. They say its MAJOR surgury, like an organ transplant, that the neoprene is clear, and the wouldnt be able to find it. My concern is this: The pain is there, it now affects every day things as well as my sex life. Anyone out there going through this? Any ideas what to do or where to go next?

I`ve had a nightmare with my bladder sling surgery. I had it two years ago and was very ill right after surgery. Ran a fever and had alot of pain. Never had surgery before, so thought it was normal to feel crummy afterwards. After a few weeks, I started to feel better, but never felt really well. Still had feelings of needing to urinate all the time. As the months went by, it actually became painful to urinate. It was like a painful "bearing down" sensation. And sometimes so powerful, it caused me to deficate when I had not intended to. I kept going back to my urologist and telling him how crappy I was felling. He was stumpped by it all and insisted that I should feel great by now. He kept testing me for bladder retention and infections, but nothing. Tried different drugs and antibiotics, but no changes and pain was getting worse. I was in daily misery. Then finally my urologist scheduled me for a scyscoptomy?(mispelled). Anyway, went in and looked inside my bladder, and low and behold, there was a huge growth of crystals in there, growing off the wall of my bladder. He told me that the sling`s mesh had perferated my bladder wall and my antibodies had attacked this "forein object" and tried to "isolate it" by building a wall of crystals around it. So we scheduled another surgury for him to go in there and break up and remove the crystals. He did and I felt wonderful almost emediately. However, now a year or so later the problems have returned and I`m having the exact same symptoms. So I made an appointment with the urologist again to see if perhaps the crystals may have grown back. I`ll get back to you with the results. I feel like I am some sort of oddity or Freak of Nature. Millions of women have these operations with no problems, but I guess those of us on this site must be that tiny percentage that aren`t so lucky. Thanks for listening anyway.

I had my sling done in July 2006. The only problem I've had until recently is it feels like I have to push to urinate. But in December I came down with a bladder infection that's not going away! I go back to the regular DR. today and will hopefully get a referral back to my Uroligist. I do remember him telling me when I had it done that if it is too tight it can cause alot of problems and that the sling can break down for various reasons. Sex for hasn't been painful for me but my husbands been nicked a couple times by something! I assuming the sling. A little part me did kind of get laugh out that! XD

I had the monarch sling (from human fascia); a month later the mesh started to penetrate into the vagina, cutting my husband. Symptoms such as yellow discharge and blood leakage. flew to NYC to a male MD who specializes in female urology and where most urologist send their difficult cases. He removed mesh but not sling. The rest of the mesh started to force its way through the vaginal wall again. Two weeks later, I was back to have it removed. (No post op pain!) it was like seeing a dentist. I noticed since I started bathing in tub, I have abdominal pain...I suggest showering, and never using shower wand upward to rinse vagiigii. After sex, do urinate, so that bacteria can flow out after sex. Some urologist say to take one dose of antibiotic just after sex or when swimming. Never wipe from back to front, always wipe with downward strokes. Eat lots of yogurt to keep your flora (good bugs that will eat bad bugs)up. If you must bath, bleach the tub first and rinse well and stay the heck away from all bubble baths and or bath solvents! 8-|

i've been doing my research and i'm confused as to what my options are
I have incontinence to the point and i'm seeing a surgeon to possibly have the bladder sling operation done.
I'm now scared to go ahead with it. But i can't go on like i am with the incontinence.
I'll be damned if i'm going to wear depends (very active and in my mid-40's)

I had the bladder sling 3 months ago and just had my checkup. I have had bleeding and pain ever since. The doctor said that 10% heal slower and also said that my stitches were not gone yet. Help did any one have this trouble

I had bladder sling surgery and now I have developed a horrible body odor. I have dry skin so I have never had body odor in my life and this one is horrible. I can't even stand myself. I have a doctor's appt but appointments are hard to get and you have to wait. Did any of you have a bad odor with your bladder infections? The doctors and nurses did not mention this risk or any other, for that matter. Only the normal risk of any surgical procedure.

I had a bladder swing surgery done on Nov./2006 and shortly after all the problems started with the constant bladder infections. After about a painful 6 month period my gyn sent me to a specialist and I was diagnost with Intersistial Cystitis. Ulcers in the bladder. I am starting to think it was caused by the bladder lift surgery. :( It has been alot of work, changing my eating and drinking big time. Feeling better though.

Hello Ladies, I had the sling surgery done 9-2-08 because my bladder was drooping since I had my hysterectomy a few years ago, I had a urologist perform mine and I have not had one bit of trouble. It has made such a difference in my quality of life, I'm glad I had it done.

I have also been having a number of bladder infections lately
and going to be checked by a urologist to see if he thinks I
might benefit from a sling , but now all I have read now I am a little
afraid to have it done.
