What to expect after bladder sling surgery?

If you are reading this, congratulations! You have either conquered urinary incontinence or you’re just curious about it. Either way, don’t worry your pretty little head because I’ve got all the hilarious intel on “What to Expect After Bladder Sling Surgery.”

First and Foremost

Before we delve into the nitty-gritty of post-surgery life, let’sbrush up on what bladder sling surgery is. In short, a bladder sling is a device used during surgery to support the urethra and prevent urine leakage. Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s get back to business.

The Pre-Op Period

During this period, prepare yourself for pre-operative evaluation such as blood tests or imaging studies like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Oh gosh – sounds complex doesn’t it? But fear not! Just sit back and relax while your healthcare provider does these evaluations.

Oh wait…don’t forget about bowel preparation because things can get intense down there after anesthesia if everything is still sitting inside you trying not to explode out in front of everyone!

So be prepared for lots of time spent near toilets before coming under anesthesia wink.

Anesthesia: Hello Dreamland!

You know how great daydreaming feels? Well then imagine sleeping through minor surgery without feeling any pain at all. That’s what receiving general anesthesia equates too!

Okay fine – technically speaking this kind of unconsciousness involves stopping your brain from “feeling” anything but doctors prefer using fancy lingo instead so keep calm and listen intently;) .

After 2-3 hours(i.e., who knows…you were already dreaming right?) the next bit happens…

Postoperative Period: A Time for Pampering

You’ll wake up[fists pumping]#TeamNoPain!! So if you were never really in any pain during surgery, why would it start soon after? Well technically speaking… Post-operative pain can occur depending on the individual and intensity of surgery. But luckily your doctor will have prescribed adequate medication to the patient beforehand.

It ain’t a Picnic but It’s Necessary

This is where things start to get interestingcoughs intense; When you transfer from bed or any other kind of surface that doesn’t involve standing up with ease – this particular act requires assistance from nurses…because ya know orations won’t flip on their own[insert sigh].

But what may seem like an impossible mission at first only gets easier over time as the effect of anesthesia dwindles out and all neurological functions (muscle coordination) resume full throttle again. Now for everyone’s favorite part…

Say Goodbye Leakage!

Post-surgery leakage should see its limit cut down significantly i.e., when coughing, laughing, exercising or being extremely tech-savvy while keeping phone perched securely between knees [face palms]. All these activities typically trigger symptoms bladder sling patients but fear not brave souls because 90% of people undergoing such surgeries find relief immediately according to recent study conducted among subjects aged between 30-65 years old#[snaps fingers].

The remaining 10% either require additional procedures and/or experienced medical complications such as UTIs( Urinary tract Infections).

Expect Long Recovery Periods

Now once released for outpatient care in hospital avoid high-intensity tasks/stressors until recovery period has been completed i.e., muscle stress could be life-changing experience without realizing long term affects >_>! [don’t ask]

Next phase involves following some “precautionary measures”…

Precautionary Measures

Avoid
– Heavy lifting
– Intense workouts
– Standing/sitting for longer hours#
– Strenuous activity

Expect
– Wearing pads during discharge period
– Decreased frequency of Urination(Activity dependent)
– Managing constipation because things need to flow.[winks]

Conclusion

Thank you for sticking along with me throughout this hilarious journey! In summary, the entirety of the process is far from easy but totally worth it if tackled with equal parts humor and faith in medical science.

Remember: The entire world’s rooting for you…

Take care-assistants[Air-fives] Peace out✌.
