After having urine leakage for many years finally made the decision to go for laparoscopic colposuspension. Unfortunately I had too much scaring and the surgeon had to do it by abdominal.
I had a bleed while in surgery but have to say was well looked after by all staff. From surgeon, and nurses.
Unfortunately ever since the op I have had continuous UTI's. This is dragging me down considerably, both physical and emotional. I know have to learn how to catheterise myself which I find very distressing, in a way I wish there was another way even if it was surgery. I'm so upset.
