Thank you for your information. What is amazing for me and that’s why so many flags went up. I never had any bladder issues they did the test and then said I had bladder leakage! I have strong urination. No leakage no witness no dampness and then she’s gonna tell me that I need a bladder sling. I’m going to get a second opinion.
I too did not pass the urodynamics test for stress urinary incontinence even though I only need a panty liner. I am planning on having a total colpocleisis with hysterectomy at the end of October. My prolapse is severe. I am 76yrs old and having angst about whether or not to do the mid urethral sling for incontinence. Also wondering if it can be done later if I choose not to add the sling at time of hysterectomy and colpocleisis. Looking for anyone's thoughts or experiences with this.
I had the urodynamics procedure and it was more of a discomfort than painful. The PA and nurse who performed it were so nice and made me comfortable. I did not have it done lying down but rather on a special chair with a cutout so if you gush, which at a point I did, it goes on the floor onto towels. It's sterile water that they keep putting in to see if it comes out when you cough. Although fake coughing is nothing like real coughing. But I eventually failed the test and the water came flooding out. So now the surgeon is wanting to put in a mesh mid urethral sling at the same time as my hysterectomy and colpocleisis surgery. I'm not sure if I want to have mesh put in due to it's ability to corrode. Hoping some women will post if they have had to make the decision to have the mid urethral sling and how long has it lasted.
I had LeFort type Colpocleisis surgery 3 weeks ago. (I am 75 years old.) The surgery has already helped several of my problems that I had prior. I was wanting to know from others who might have had this surgery approximately how long I might expect to have discomfort from the stitches and the surgery itself? Other than my very sore "bottom" I feel very good!
