I had a tummy tuck 7 months ago, starting week five I had bladder issues(couldn'thold itnow it's super frequent like every 15 min or so if I'm walking. I always feel a very tight feeling in my low belly almost like a contraction and that feeling has been there since the beginning.i have had ultrasounds and even an MRI. I do not have a UTI. I've tried every med for OAB and even recently had botox into my bladder and none of it changes. i PEE CONSTANTLY NOW...
My question is strictly to ask if there is such a procedure that can fix bladder prolapse/incontinence and include a tummy tuck at the same time? I feel like part of my pelvic floor issues are due to my stretched abdominal muscles and I'd like to fix both in one surgery. Does this exist? Thanks.
I had a DIEP in 2012 as a result of breast cancer. I have had increasing loss of sensation in my lower abdomen, upper thighs and bladder and bowel incontinence. I am experiencing sexual (clitoral lack of feeling). When I urinate cannot feel the urine exit. NOW, hip (both but especially the LEFT hip) that is horrible. Physical Therapy twice a week for week hip and leg muscles after xrays confirmed my hips looked normal. I am realizing it could be damage from the DIEP (abdominoplasty.
I got my TT today. I noticed that I have the sensation to pee much sooner than pre TT. My bladder usually can hold a good amount. Not so much today. I'm sitting her thinking about the theory aa to why. I came up with pressure. Less room in my lower abdomen. My vagina is down there also, soooooo...... Am I on the right track? It will also make my vagina tighter.
I saw my endo and he did the tapping on the knee bit, only nothing moved. No refelxes, nothing. He tried again with his stethoscope and nothing. He didn't seem worried, but I am. I've recently had a tummy tuck/muscle repair/lipo on October 19. I've noticed my bladder is less sensitive as in I don't feel the need to pee as often. Could this all be related? I will talk to my surgeon, however he's so busy I fear he may dismiss my concerns. Thank you.
Hello. I had pelvic floor repairs over a year ago and have a bladder sling that's connected to my pubic bone. i was told if I were to have a full tummy tuck there's a chance the bladder could shift and cause retention issues. Is this possible? Ty
I had a tummy tuck and I am eight months postop. At six months postop I noticed mild UTI like symptoms that would come and go. In the past 30 days the symptoms have greatly increased and I have to go to the bathroom frequently and feel a regular pressure to urinate. I went to my gen. doc and tested negative for any kidney issues including a UTI. My doc said it was possible that tt could have damaged my urinary track but I'm skeptical. Could tt be affecting this even though I am 8 mo post op?
Having Children at 18 and 20 Again at 36 and 37, I Am Just Getting Back to pre second set weight. I have lost 55 pound and keep it off for 4 months, have turned 60 and want to look as good as I feel! There are bladder issues as well as extra skin from weight loss. Are the two procedures exceptable to be preformed at same time in order to combine recovery time?
