Bulkomid injection for stress incontinece

Women's health

Hi everyone 20 months ago I had prolapse surgery to correct a rectocele and sacro spinous fixation, the bladder prolapse was left and he decided to correct the stress incontinence first.

So today I had the bulkomid procedure...before the surgery he came to see me and said that the urodynamics test has shown that I have something called bladder muscle failure (there was a complicated word for it but I can't remember it) and that he hoped that the bulkomid procedure wouldn't make things any worse!! I had the procedure and went into bladder retention so now have a catheter for a week to give my bladder time to rest. Only time will tell if the procedure has been successful.

Guess I'm just a bit fed up that he's known about the other issue since October but told me just before I was going into surgery.. He's said there's nothing he can do for that issue.

Thanks for listening.

Sorry you are going through this. I wonder if the consultant injected a little too much Bulkamid causing the retention. Sometimes this can happen but as some of it will be absorbed by your surrounding tissues hopefully after a week you shouldn't have any problems.

Hi matron managed to get rid of the catheter today and successfully if a little slowly managed to go to the loo. So at least that's one issue resolved.
