Bladder sling

Posted by cane2e @cane2e, May 14 4:14pm

So I had a bladder sling put in on March 18, voided some in my own after the catheter was removed then need to start using individual catheters. Went back to the doctor & she manually pulled on the sling to adjust it some, no luck. Went back in for surgery on a fees weeks later & had a string on the sling cut to release tension & here I am almost 2 months post surgery still not going on my own. Saw the doctor today was prescribed flomax & estrogen cream to hopefully help me start to go on my own.

Doctor is stumped as to why I am not going on my own still….any thoughts? Hate to go back under again.

I had one years ago, thankfully,b with no issues. My suggestion is, seek another doctor. This doctor is perplexed and just drawing at straws. It's better to be told, "I don't know but will be happy to refer you to another specialist".
