What are the first symptoms/signs to look for with problems with the TVT Sling?
On April 17th, I had a TVH (kept ovaries), A & P Repair and a TVT Sling. I recently saw my Urogynecologist surgeon, and I'm presently taking Cipro for a UTI. I am concerned, however, about the TVT Sling. The surgeon examined me and said I was healing very well. At the time of the appointment, I did not think about asking questions concerning the TVT Sling. Only after returning home I began to have some thoughts about possible problems. Can anyone tell me some early signs that there may be a problem?
Thank you.

Hello Orah Deb,
I did have a UTI, and have just finished taking Cipro for 5 days. My symptoms seem to be having the feeling that I am sitting on something (feels like a tampon). Also, there is pressure, and the feeling that I want to urinate. I have this feeling most of the time. It just does not seem normal to me. I will be six weeks post-op on May 29th. Besides the hysterectomy and TVT Sling, I had A & P Repair. It's so frustrating to have this feeling. My Urogynecologist did check me on May 21st, and said all looks fine stitches are dissolving. I'm not sure if there is still swelling from the surgery, and this is causing this feeling.
Thanks,
Hiker Lady

H.L.,
Many S to you. UTI's can be so miserable. It is likely still swelling that is causing you the odd vaginal feelings. You can swell for a loonnnng time with all those pelvic repairs. It's one of the reasons why pelvic floor/prolapse repairs are often given a longer healing time than other surgeries.
Hope you feel better soon. Sending many +++ thoughts and extra good vibes.......

Thoughts on the TVT Sling.
Thanks Orah Deb for your comments. I didn't realize that swelling could last so long. I guess that is why my Urogynecologist set my final appointment for 8 weeks instead of the usual 6.
