Re: Stress Incontinence

anprdp,
Have you concidered going to see a urologist? I too had 2 children, and had a tramtic birth with the first. A forcept delivery, and tearing to my butt. From that time, I suffered with stress incontinence, and my bladder prolapsed. I could no longer use a tampon, because my "bladder" would litteraly PUSH it back out! I didnt have anything fixed because I knew at that time I would have a second child. After the second birth, which was MUCH easier, My bladder REALLY prolapsed! I could literly SEE it using a mirror!
It turns out, my Uterus as well as my bladder was prolapsed. So I had a hysterectomy along with a bladder sling procedure. I was 33 at the time.
I would suggest you be evaluated by a Urologist, and even your GYN, to see if they can help you. It could be a matter of simple medication, may fix, or perhaps some surgery may need to be done.

Wish you well,
GOd bless, and take care,
Annette
