A member asked:

Would you recommend having corrective surgery with mesh for bladder stress incontinence?

Yes: As long as it was just a mesh sling, and not mesh for lifting up the whole bladder, the fda has stated there are no problems with the small amount of mesh used just for incontinence.

Yes: Treatment for stress urinary incontince is most often treated with a mid-urethral sling. Attempt to use various biological products & native tissue have shown to have high failure rates. Current modern mesh has been shown to be safe & effective when used for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. The fda issue is a complex one but the use of mesh in sui is generally accepted.

Generally yes: But like any surgery there are risks and not everyone has a good result. Make sure your surgeon does these surgeries regularly.
