Q: Frequent urination post TVT

I had TVT surgery Aug 07 for stress incontinence. Was left with urg incontinence and extreme pain on urination and frequency. Had another op 4 weeks later to cut the tape wich was too tight and all was well till now. Just over a year later I am now going to the loo up to 30 times a day despite taking max dose of medication to stop bladder contractions. What will the surgeon suggest next. Are there any more options for me am scared will end up with a bag on my side and am only young please advise if you can

Here's some information I hope is helpful:

Be sure to keep your doctor informed of your continued troubles, especially with the "extreme pain" and both urge and frequency problems you're having. If you haven't done so, I suggest seeing your doctor soon for a thorough evaluation.

 

Best of luck.   - MG
