Yes: Incontinence regardless of surgery should be evaluated by your doc. Some surgical procedures carry risk for incontinence. However, if you develop incontinence related to a surgical procedure, it can still be improved/managed. Okay to get evaluated. Take a friend with you, to help ask questions and record the advice from your doc. Good luck.
