❤️ from you,useful information from me! Follow my page if you see my posts for the first time,I share all things pelvic health!
'Doctor offered operation to reduce ur*ne leaks'
'What surgery exactly?'
'I don't know'... fairly typical conversation I get.
Sharing some of the procedures so you know better and don't be afraid to ask your doctor for details.
Surgery is always the last resort, and here are some reasons why you would decide for one⬇️
➡️Significant impact on quality of life. When leakage interferes with daily activities, exercise, social interactions, or intimacy despite conservative measures.
‼️Limited improvement with pelvic floor physiotherapy. If after consistent and guided physiotherapy, there is still moderate to severe leakage, surgical options may be discussed. Physio always first!
➡️Severe anatomical or tissue damage – In cases of pelvic floor trauma, urethral hypermobility, or sphincter deficiency following childbirth or pelvic surgery.
➡️Psychological distress – When ongoing incontinence causes embarrassment, anxiety, or depression, leading to social withdrawal and low self-esteem.
The most surprising part is that you will likely need pelvic floor rehab after surgery, too!
