Hello. Great question, and one that I'm sure many people wish they would've asked before having this procedure. See:

Be sure to scroll down and click on the "Comments" to each of these SharePosts. The number of responses and the severity of side effects reported are overwhelmingly similar and all-telling.

 

Best of luck,

Maria

Most people report minimal pain following TVT surgery, but heavy lifting and intercourse is usually restricted for four to six weeks following the procedure. Some people experience some pain during the first 48 hours, and in that case the doctor may prescribe a painkiller.
