Urethral Sling for Minor Stress Incontinence

I had the “Sling” installed 2 years after my prostatectomy. I went from 2 large pads per day to one medium size pad. I do notice that coffee makes me leak more. But I need my coffee !

Hi @firespooks
Thanks for the info. My sense from all replies I get from anyone with an AUS or a Sling is that their incontinence is not actually "minor stress incontinence" when they go into the procedure, and so the outcome is that they still require a pad afterwards. Incontinence is never fully resolved.

My incontinence is definitely "minor stress incontinence" and I definitely get by with just one light shield per day. I am hoping to get to no pads at all.

Given what I am hearing, it sounds like complete resolution of minor stress incontinence is not the outcome with the sling or AUS.
