Hi i am a 32 yearold woman with a neurogenic bladder...
Hello Dr. Sobol,
My name is Kim Gillespie and I'm a PT practicing in women's health. I have a question for you regarding a patient of mine who will is a candidate for TVT. She is 26, athletic, and in the military. She presents with a grade 3 cystocele and rectocele, grade 2 uterocele. I've been working with her to manually lift these organs, strengthen the pelvic floor, and reduce her valsalva and abdominal firing so as to reduce the downward pressure. She has recently been released from performing situps for her physical training which was making her condition worse. I am concerned that once her TVT surgery is performed, she will be put back into her regular physical training regimen (situps and heavy activity) and blow out the lifted structures. Can you give me any advice on how to advise her?
Thank you so much for all your helpful information!
Kim
