  During my hysterectomy my doctor fixed my prolapsed bladder as well. However if I didn’t have a hysterectomy I wouldn’t have had my bladder fixed. I didn’t even know it had prolapsed. I didn’t have any incontinence at all. I do kegals regularly and my doc said that helped me not have any accident. But to answer your question…I am VERY happy with my bladder now. My bladder holds much longer before I feel the sensation to urinate. Before I had to go every hour. ¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯

  My aunt had the surgery about 10 years ago (I think) and she said it took 6 weeks to fully recover. She has run an at home day care for about 30 years and had to get additional help for about 3 weeks as she couldn’t lift much but she said she’s so glad she had it. She can work out and cough and just live without leakage! I have even considered it because I have had 6 kiddos and things just aren’t the same. Good luck!

  I had a hysterectomy 8 months ago and they fixed my prolapse as well. I still have issues. It’s a muscle thing . The prolapse caused my muscles to weaken over time thus now it will take time to do kegals and build that muscle back up. They also said in Phyiscal Therapy about strengthening my other muscles (stomach etc) so there is not as much strain on my body. Hopefully I get to a point of normalcy but I don’t see that yet. The recovery time was minimal for me 6 weeks or so but couldn’t lift anything heavy for like 6 months. (over 20 lbs i think).

  That’s the same with me. It will be a year in March. I’ve started to do do very light workouts and I am feeling the difference… slowly but surely. I take care of my 8month 25 pound grandson so I lift him up all the time. I ALWAYS have to tell myself lift with my legs… LOL. It’s been a slow road to recovery. My mom had to move in with us to help me recover and to take care of our three children. She was an angel. Good luck to everyone with this issue.

  I am also planning to have surgery to fix my bladder issue. Mean while my urologist suggested poise tampons to lift bladder. It feels so good not to leak during workout or running errands. Give it a try. They are hard to find but worth it

  There are several out there. I have been on Sanctura XR for many years now. The generic is Trospium Chloride. At one stage I tried Myrbetriq, which wasn’t so effective.
  Interestingly, my elderly mom (when she was over 100!) finally got up the gumption to ask her doctor about HER incontinence, and he put her on Detrol. The very next day she called me and was so happy that the Detrol had already started helping her leakage problems.
  I’m sure that part of my incontinence issue is in the genes. In high school (—way before babies) I had to make sure I went to the bathroom before using the trampoline, and my PE instructor said this problem often happens to women after childbirth. Then I had a 9lb14oz baby, and a 10lb3oz one, and those big babies really exacerbated everything. For a long time I had ‘just’ stress incontinence, but eventually it became ‘mixed’ incontinence, with aspects of both stress and urge.
  These days the urologist is definitely my friend….

  Yes! I have I just got them. I got the thong style because I don’t like a panty line under workout pants.
  They are called Shero and I would say hold as much as a thin “carefree” liner.
  https://www.amazon.online/gp/product/B08K9BDRV9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  I got the two pack and will probably buy more. They are more bulky than a regular thong so I would not wear them for anything other than the hour or so I am at the gym. Also, size up. I am a size 8-10, wear a large in underwear and bought large and they fit fine but I think I will try XL next time.

  As a women’s health (pelvic/pregnancy/postpartum) physical therapist. All women have an option for pelvic PT. Just ask you doctor for a referral or some states have direct access where you can go to PT without a referral. While these might help for list women they need the education from a PT. A lot of people avoid surgery or if they have surgery still need PT for best results.

    I love how informative the post is and how well you explained Stress Uniary Incontinence and it was kind of long so maybe I missed it but I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware this wouldn’t work for Urge Urinary Incontinence. They are two very different things one you described well the other is when you have a sudden urge and a gush the undies are kind of pricy so I would hate for someone to do as I did and spend money one something that doesn’t work well for UUI due to the capacity. I didnt even know there were differences until recently when I saw Impressa and went to the website to find them because I am so tired of thick pads (and not the one in the photo lol those leak like the dickens for UUI) 😅 and it said nope your problem is onlinepletely different you have UUI and this product wont work for you.

    I appreciate this post. Even amongst our girfriends, I don’t think we’re onlinepletely honest about these issues. My doctors say that my bladder feels well supported, but I have issues every day, even after just going to the bathroom. I’ve had 2 children but I’ve also had bladder cancer, having tumors removed about 4 times now. I went through a physical therapy that consisted of exercises and internal massages. I also have a hip replacement, from a congenital issue which has caused my pelvis to be malformed. Anyway, surgery has never been suggested to me, the PT was the most my doc ever offered. It helped but it’s something that would have to be ongoing, forever. I am only 46 and wearing pads all the time, and feeling like you smell like urine, sure doesn’t do anything for your sense of … feeling sexy.

    I did try the less expensive pair from Amazon. They work well and were onlinefortable, but they did not last. The lace fell apart and the elastic was poor quality. I was hesitant to buy them again. I am hoping that these undies will hold up better. Even though Amazon was less, I still paid 25.00 per pair. I felt for that price the product should of lasted for more than 6 months. My regular underwear are 12 to 15 dollars per pair and they last forever.

    i pee myself on the daily, i use poise liners. i hope to try these undies but am in the process of losing weight and don’t want to buy clothing. I have had 4 kids and never had a strong bladder but after the kiddos it’s just done. My OB wanted to do the surgery, it’s not something I want done. If i have a hysterectomy which I am probably going to have to do sooner than later, I’ll try to have bladder done at same time

They are price, but have sales pretty often and are well made. I’ve had some about a year and no visible wear or problems. I’ve also tried a brand called Ruby Love. They are a lot bulkier, and don’t feel as good on. Hope that helps with options for you ladies!

    I would just like to tell you about my 90 year old aunt. She never had the surgery and should have because now she cannot have it as they believe it would make her totally incontinent. So, now her bladder hangs outside her body and causes her a lot of disonlinefort. Her daughter needed the surgery and had it done and she is very happy. I am sorry I do not know the exact type or how long her recovery was. My aunt had 5 children.

    Please, for the love of all that is holy, go to a pelvic floor physical therapist. As mentioned above, this is a onlinemon problem but that does not make it normal. Most doctors and o.b.s are sadly uninformed how much a pelvic floor specialist can help. Their success rates are higher than surgeries!! Look up a pelvic floor specialist in your area and go. In two sessions they helped me dramatically. Pelvic floor therapy should be the standard in postpartum care!

  I agree with you K. I did a feature for the newspaper I work for about pelvic floor physical therapists. They said that the majority of obstetricians and gynos don’t know these specialists exist. It was amazing what these PTs can do for people with leaky bladders without invasive procedures.

    All the kegels in the world won’t help if you are doing kegels incorrectly. Pelvic floor therapy (physical therapy) is the way to go, especially before considering surgery. Most people are not doing levels correctly. 3 months of pelvic floor therapy fixed my issues! I had to change the place I received the therapy because the first place wasn’t doing great. They SHOULD be doing internal checks every appointment. If they aren’t you have no idea if you are progressing or using proper technique.

  There’s some type of fabric that the dermatologist at the hospital prescribed for my aunt a few years ago. The nurse would cut it in strips & put it in skin areas were moisture was building up: under breast, sides of waist, top of inner thigh. The fabric is used in skin folds to keep the area dry so you don’t get skin infections. I can’t remember what it’s called. I sometimes have a problem under my breasts, but I just use a rolled up paper towel! It absorbs the moisture so I don’t get a heat rash when I exercise.

    Bryn, thanks for sharing and posting something so personal. I agree with the others suggesting PT. My doc said many women can benefit from pelvic floor physical therapy. (PT). I’m doing PT now for an issue where my bladder starts acting up when I lay down to sleep at night. What have I learned? There is a certain way to do kegals AND there are other exercises to do besides kegals that can help improve the situation. Also, I learned that alcohol, caffeine, as well as carbonation can cause the super sensitive sensation / over reactive bladder.

    hi ladies, senior here, have the same problem but had prolapsed uterus. never thought it would give me problems, but here I am….bladder leakage. ok, just tried pair of these panties – love them for size, fit, onlinefort. had a problem one day..seemed they leaked out the side!! feeling was embarrasing – luckily I had black slacks on so nothing showed. but I felt the wetness, chafed my inner thighs and was unonlinefortable. so to prevent that again, if I know I’ll be out awhile, active, cleaning, etc, I will tuck a light pad or liner on top. makes me feel more secure. otherwise I am going to order a few more pairs, just wish they werent so expensive, hard on set inonlinee, but guess its a better alternative, cause I go thru pads/liners frequently. I tried a pair of Wearever, liked the material, but couldnt find the size I need, one closest to it was way too tight around the legs! dont want to go for surgery at my age. dont know if I’d recover….haha.

    I went to urologist last year for my leaking. I had a few options with surgery being one but elective surgeries were not allowed at the time. The other option was a pessary which is what I decided on. It’s just a plastic ring you insert and it “shuts your valve” when you have stress lol. I do not feel it and my husband doesn’t feel it most of the time. Take it in and out as you please. Super easy.

    Yes to pelvic floor physical therapy! There are SO many ways your muscles can be causing problems — too weak OR not fully relaxing — and PTs can help figure it out and give exercises and lifestyle tips to manage. The underwear sounds like a good day to day option, but pelvic floor PT might be an actual route to improvement. (And I’m proof that there’s more to it than just kegeling your bits off. After a very bad birth then a second pregnancy, I ended up going through 3 separate rounds of PT… and I figured out that as long as I’m doing enough core work to keep my diastasis recti fixed, I don’t need to do ANY kegels. So obviously everyone is different but I’m an example that PT isn’t one size fits all.)

  I realize my experience is not reflective of anyone who already has a diagnosis (and I’m a random internet stranger!) and obviously PT isn’t going to work out well for everyone. But just a note to anyone experiencing postpartum issues: you’re not the only one, it might not be just weak muscles, and there may be options that aren’t invasive. So get it checked even if your jerk former OB tells you it happens to everyone and you have to live with it. 🙂
