New here - failed single incision TVT

[Archives1]

Hi, I'm new here. I have both stress and urge incontinence. I take oxybutinen for the urge incontinence and 2 months ago I had a transvaginal sling put in (urethra). Prior to the decision for surgery I did physical therapy. My numbers for strength of pelvic floor muscles were pretty high and overall good. Unfortunately since the surgery the incontinence is worse. Just standing up makes me empty my bladder if I don't go to the bathroom at the earliest urge. In a couple weeks I will have a urodynamics test and hopefully will be able to determine exact cause. My urologist said that the options to fix the issue were 1. Physical therapy, 2. Injection, 3. Remove sling and after I heal do another procedure. I'm here to learn about other people's experiences, especially regarding the TVT, injection and the surgery to remove the sling.

I have OAB with UUI (urge urinary incontinence) including nocturnal enuresis. I’ve tried Oxybutynin, Trospium, and am currently on tolterodine plus low dose Valium for bladder spasticity. Saw my urologist this week and he is trying to get approval for Myrbetriq next. So far, All have helped some. None have solved problem entirely. Most have had lots of side effects. Still, I’m hopeful...

Tolterodine didn't work and I am having issues with Oxybutynin now. Doc tried Myrbetriq but insurance didn't allow it. I get up 3-4 times a night and have issues making it to the bathroom. I have had accidents in my leather car seats. It is very upsetting, as you probably know.
