My mom is experiencing incontenience after bladder surgery.
My mom is experiencing incontenience after surgery for a prolapsed bladder. She has been one week without the catheter and 2 weeks after surgery. She has no control during the day - will this get better? She had no incontenience problems before surgery. She is 79 years old.
Quite often after surgery the communication between our muscles and our nerves can be slow to recover. We can help this by activating our muscles regularly. This will increase blood flow to the area and help to wake things up. It is like adding oil to the machine to help it start working on its own. You can refer to my blog for some instruction on a 2 step kegel exercise your mom can start with. If you see no improvement within the next 1-2 weeks, I would follow up with your physician for further assessment.
