@maflynn777 I use the plastic tube, think it's the only way to do what needs doing and get the med high enough. I have had hysterectomy, abdominal surgery to remove large benign tumor, vaginal tightening, vaginal birth with baby breech.....any one can contribute to this urethra weakening and incontinence. I'm praying this bulking injection will help and/or solve the problems. Don't need another sedation.

Apparently, the urethra muscle not closing properly is not common. But, any of above can cause. I'm obviously concerned as I also have some autonomic dysfunction and other issues that make all this concerning. This injections may be a blessing and help me through with better quality. Hope so.

@jeanne5009 Sounds like you've had several issues as well that can cause these problems. Suggestion: I was careful to see a urogynocologist who deals with these combination issues regularly. I think that's made a difference in the diagnosis and maybe the injections rather than other. And I thought I never needed a gyno again, after all the surgeries and now the emptiness in my pelvic area. Beginning PT next week, also.

Hope you get good answers and results, Jeanne.

blessings to you, elizabeth
