Hi. Anyone had Urinanry incontinence (sudden onset) and used Kegel 8 biofeedback ? Or change in HRT?
Thanks

[Judy13]

GP said i need to I have had physio previously and booked to go see private physio as the wait is so long and i feel quite anguished. Thanks for response

If you've had physio the pelvic floor specialist should have given you a pelvic floor exercise plan to follow?

Yes that was year before last. Recently got worse quite sudden. Doc says need bladder surgery which seems drastic so trying to figure it out x

[Taz2]

Nowadays bladder surgery is usually the last resort after referral back to the urogynae team. I hope the referral has been made? Are you continuing with the exercises set for you? Don't give up on them. I agree with Birdy that you do need proper advice as the wrong exercises can do damage.

Why did you stop the exercises  and were you not followed up by the physio.? 

Why does your GP think surgical intervention necessary?  Did he mean 'surgery' or investigations ?  This is your body and until you know exactly what he is thinking and until he has referred you to the appropriate Consultant, breath ;-).  Maybe keep a diary of symptoms? 

You could ask for referral to a Incontinence Nurse or look at the local Hospital's website to see which services they provide.  Then ring and ask what the procedure is for referral.

Thanks everyone such helpful reassurance. I will explore options, i agree my body i just want to do what's best and hope its not irreversible. Thanks again for responses xx

I saw my GP recently about a similar issue. I felt like I was leaking/dripping and my symptoms seemed to come on quite suddenly.  It's only when I gave it some thought that I realised I hadn't done any pelvic floor exercises for the best part of 9 months.....

GP referred me for an ultrasound to make sure my bladder is emptying properly.  In the meantime I have been using the NHS app 'Squeezy' which reminds me to do my exercises 3 times a day, it also times your squeezes etc and I do think sticking to the programme since early Jan has helped...
