@sulli The main products that I am aware of are various medications that help with urinary incontinence. There is a device that is not widely available, I believe that's for fecal incontinence. For urinary incontinence, there is a device called a "sling". I knew one woman who said it was a Godsend, but others who don't feel it helped much.
I'm not sure what you mean by a "pushy experience". Could you please elaborate a bit?
Thanks.

@coralbells1 I too recently had pelvic floor physical therapy. referred by a urogynecologist at a major teaching hospital. It definitely did help, but I have not seen as much improvement as you have. I can now "hold it" better than I used to, but I still wake up numerous times a night for bathroom calls. I have fewer problems during the day, particularly "latch key incontinence", a specific type of urge incontinence.

@mslw I believe it's always a good idea to get a second opinion with someone outside of where you received the first opinion. Good advice for this and for anything where you want a second opinion.

@baxtersmom Your surgery was Sacrocolpopexy for prolapse. Am I correct in thinking that your prolapse was more than typical incontinence? I'm just trying to figure out my potential options, if I do proceed further. Thanks.
Also, I thought I was spelling your name correctly but for some reason it was not picked up by the system as it usually is.
