I just had surgery on Friday for urinary stress incontinence. It has been a problem for me since my youngest child was born 14 years ago. (I think he wanted to drag my pelvic organs with him)....So, I have a mild uterine prolapse.
At that time, when he was about 2 the doctor wanted to do a hysterectomy. Then, a few years ago I saw another doctor who wanted to do a more invasive vaginal repair job as well, along with a sling.
This doctor did a relatively new procedure called TVT (Tension free vaginal tape surgery).
It is a minimally invasive procedure that puts a sling made out of mesh tape to hold your urethra in place. It is done vaginally. I am recovering nicely, a little sore but not bad at all.
I'm so glad I waited until I found a doctor who would work with my need not to have an invasive procedure or remove organs unnecessarily. I am so excited. Today I coughed and guess what? NO LEAK
LOL
