Today was my one month checkup after having a laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy.
Ever since the surgery I have had some minor continence problems... and I thought it was due to the surgery. I can't "hold it" very long, in other words, when I have to go, I really have to go....
Also, I have tried doing the Kegel excercises like you do after having a baby... and I find it difficult to do them.... like my muscles aren't working properly.
Today they did a urine test, just to be sure there was no bacteria, and I was unable to stop the stream of urine while doing the "clean catch" specimen.
My question is this: The doctor said I wouldn't be having this problem due to the surgery, that I probably just have weak muscles.... but this started exactly at the time of my surgery, and I really thought it was because of the surgery... I was stunned that she said it wasn't....
Has anyone else had this problem? And do you think continuing Kegel excercises will do the trick??
