Issue In Bladder Control, Bleeding After Menopause. Recommended Hysterectomy, Bladder Sling. Help?
I'm having some issues with bladder control and bleeding after going through menopause. My doctor is recommending a hysterectomy and bladder sling. I'm very worried as I've read so many people talk about how much pain they are in after surgery, even after several months. I'm hoping to be reassured that this is the best course of action for me. Thank you.
Hello Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have what is called as Stress Incontinence of Urine (SIU) with post menopausal bleeding.
As regards bleeding it could be either due to hormonal changes or cancer of the endometrium .Please consult qualified Gynaecologist for clinical assessment to fine out the cause of bleeding.You may need to undergo diagnostic dilatation and curettage to rule out possibility of cancer of the uterus.
He will be a better person to decide regarding the need for Hysterectomy. Dr.Patil.
