Things are getting worse daily. What can be done? Could the damage be from the DIEP TT?

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  The symptoms of bowel, bladder incontinence, and lack of clitoral sensation would be difficult to attribute to the DIEP as this procedure only involves the skin and fat of the abdomen and not the deeper structures of the body.  The hip disomfort and altered sensation my be possible but would need an in-person examination to fully diagnose.  Talk to your surgeon further about your results, they can get you to the best specialists for help.  Hope this helps.

the issues you are describing are not normally listed as complications from a DIEP flap. I would recommend you consult a general surgeon and urologist to ascertain the etiology of your problems. There are many underlying conditions that could be contributing to your problems, and you will need to talk to some other specialists.

None of your symptoms are related to the Diep flap as it does not require dissection anywhere near the nerves that relate to clitoral sensuality or urinary tolerance. Please follow up with your primary physician.
