[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you can also go see a urogynecologist. You may benefit from a stress incontinence pessary. And there are surgical options like a sling if pelvic PT and a pessary don’t help and you exhaust other options. A urogyn would fit you for this and educate you about options. Obviously they are predisposed to surgery but they can give you a good sense of how serious your incontinence is relatively speaking and what options are for managing it from conservative to surgical.

urogynecologist. After 1 year they can evaluate if you are a candidate for surgery (e.g.., "sling" for incontinence), they wait for a few months after postpartum for body to recover by itself before considering surgery. Other less invasive therapies could work too as mentioned by PP in the thread, including the bulking agent, PT, pessaries, etc.

In NOVA, I recommend mid-atlantic urogynecolologist practice. They can determine if PT, pessary or surgery is the recommended treatment.[/quote]
