[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

+1 you need to see a urogynecologist. Your OB can refer you. I see Dr Shobieri in Falls Church. I am literally having issues 10 years after my first kid now. [/quote]

Is he going to do surgery for you? He’s not my favorite urogyn, and I’ve seen a lot of them. [/quote]

Different poster — do you mind elaborating? I have an appointment coming up with him. [/quote]

I just would not see him. He’s a solo provider and I found him quite negative. He diagnosed me with avulsion and basically made me feel like I couldn’t have another baby because it was going to get so much worse and I couldn’t do any movement or exercise that I wanted to do. I fell into a deep depression after seeing him. Took me 2 years to get over it and I decided to risk it and get pregnant again. That baby was born via C section, my prolapse is exactly the same, and I am so happy I didn’t listen to his advice. There were other issues with the visit that I don’t care to elaborate on. Suffice to say, I would go elsewhere. WHC and JHU have group practices and GW had their own female urogyn who is supposed to be good. [/quote]
