Hi Ladies
I have my anterior repair with sutures on April 18th.
I have been thinking whether my urogynacologist should of
Done s urodynamics test? I don't have leakage just the usual
If I need to wee I usually have to go within 15 minutes or may be a little
Longer.Ami ovetthinking here? I'm guessing that test is for ladies
That leak? Any advice would be great..thankyou ladies๐
There was no indication you would need a urodynamics test so why put you through it? I didn't have one either.
I had the test and yes I use to leak occasionally. Maybe as I went private it was extra money for them. Really only proved that I had stress incontinent when I sneezed or run and bladder was full.
I use to be able to hold myself other times and never had a problem with urge incontinence.
I wouldn't worry that you haven't had the test, because if I wasn't a runner I wouldn't of felt I had a problem at all. The test was very embarrassing. ๐๐
Thankyou matron... I'm just worried I'll have pee issues afterward
As he didn't test me... I'm paying foirt this op and casnt afford to
Have another four pee issues lol.you understand don't you?xxxx
Hi Linda, thasts great, thanks for your reply.. I suppose our bladders
Can only hold for so long anyway can't they. Oh I hate being as woman
sometimes๐ข.. Over not really noticed any issues ad I just wee
When I need too.xxxxx
Yes I understand but you don't have any issues such as incontinence so it would be wasting your money and time having the procedure x
I had my op on 11 th March.
My only word of advise is just get in some glycerine suppositories, just incase you need them. Helped me just over the first few days, but not had a problem since. Eat a good fibre diet, drink plenty and rest.
I wish you all the best and hope you get on as well as me.
๐๐๐๐ thankyou. Your so kind,I hope so too.I'll keep in touch. Xx
Yes your quite right.. He knows what he is doing for sure.
Matron you are priceless on thus forum. Us ladies ate blessed
To know you. Happy Easter lovely!!๐๐
Do I need glycerine supps for ant repair? Are they gentle with no cramping?
Can't cope with cramps.xx
I didn't have the tests either but didn't have any real problems beforehand. The biggest problem I had was peeing on my thigh at the end of my stream, it just went in the wrong direction! ๐. I am now Peeing nearly straight down with a thin steam and a good amount of force behind it! I think my prolapse issues were much worse than I realized.
Definitely keep your stools soft, lots of water, fruit and lactulose. My bowels are still asleep, I don't get the urge to push just a lot of pain when I need to go. It was the same after my ankle surgery. I'm still holding myself when I go because I have to strain a teeny bit to go. X
Ahh thanks Rosie,that's great advice. Cash I buy lactolose off the chemist?
I never use over counter medicine.. I go thee natural route normally. Xx
Happy Easter to you as well ๐๐
When you are discharged they should give you Lactulose or whatever they prescribe so don't buy anything just yet.
Like matron said, I got mine when I was discharged. I find lactulose really good, quite mild. X
The glycerine suppositories had no side effects for me personally and only used them for a few days.
I was sent out the hospital with fybogel but also found after a few days I just regulated back to normal with diet.
Just best to have things in place and hopefully like me you may not require them. Everyone is different.
Your be fine.
