Results of incontinence surgery is about 50% experience significant improvement. Complications are rare however the most common being urinary retention - causing the patient to need a catheter. Sometimes one surgery leads to another; post-surgical obstructions can develop or the sling has to be removed, requiring a second surgery. Depending on the type of sling, some have a mesh that can lead to irritation causing chronic pain or slide around and become exposed in the urethra, vagina or bladder. Finally, there’s the general risks everyone faces with a surgery…. Infection and anesthesia concerns. Fortunately, there is a natural answer to this problem that doesn’t require surgery and is even more effective…
For many women, bladder incontinence is such a bad problem, they’re still willing to undergo surgery, despite it only being 50% effective. There are surgical procedures and medical injections for stress incontinence and over-active bladder as well, however these have the same risks and results. Sometimes Botox is used for treatment of female incontinence. While less invasive, it also has the same complications (but rarely) - urinary retention. For Botox, this complication gradually wears off, but the patient will still depend on a catheter until it does (1).
