Having incontinence problems
On August 6th, 2007 I had my hysterectomy. Besides all of the soreness I am now experiencing some incontinence. Yesterday I felt a leakage. Then again this evening I finally got out of the house and went to WalMart. While I was walking down an isle I felt another small leakage again. I don't understand this at all.Walking should help in recovery. Is this supposed to happen? This type of support system should help anyone dealing with any variety of side effects.

Ladies--
I'm sorry you are having this miserable problem.
Having a hysterectomy can move things around internally quite a bit. Then you can have swelling and other pressure in the pelvic and abdominal areas. Many times this type of thing is temporary. Sometimes it is more lasting. It is best for you to let your Dr. know what is happening. Depending on the type of incontinence, s/he may have some things for you to try.
If you want to read a little more about the types of incontinence, you can go over to the Pelvic Floor & Bladder Issues forum here on Hyster Sisters and read the Glossary in the top 'Sticky" post there. It defines the different kinds of incontinence, different tests to check for it, and different procedures that can be done.
Hope you find the help you need ASAP. Sending and good vibes...

Had a similar experience after my hysterectomy. In my case I was embarassed and when I finally spoke with the doc that did my surgery, he kept saying he didn't know why, but did refer to someone else and what a difference. Dr. K did a surgery he called a TOT I can't tell you what a change it has made. I'm active again, not afraid to leave the house and I don't feel as if I've traded in one type of pad for another. Please speak with your doctor and find out what type of treatment is best for you.
