Let's talk - Bladder surgery 6 months on! Is the Overactive Bladder still around?

So, 6 months have passed, I sit here, and I try to answer this question for you, for my own record of my journey as of course this has greatly been affecting me mentally and physically and of course looking at my progress from having had the surgery. Am I still in that situation? Have things gone away for good? Unfortunately, not is the answer however, for about 4 months after the surgery the problems, worries and endless stress of the bathroom was a distant memory but sadly once I got to 5 months things starting to revisit me, I noticed some of the symptoms coming back and finally as I got to 6 months everything is pretty much back the way it was. However, this time I am guarded with knowledge and medical intervention on my side, it is now thought after many appointments, clinics and a very top brilliant surgeon one who has the power to put my life back to how it once was before all of this, that my past hernia repairs are indeed the possible cause of my bladder issues. You may wonder what power does this great man have and what is causing me all these issues? Well, his thoughts are that it links to my hernia issues and past failed surgeries along with some nerve problems from the choice of mesh used in my original surgery, scary certainly, going to beat me NEVER! I am still battling each day and visiting many bathrooms sadly but now with the knowledge that someday soon this will fingers crossed all go away. What’s up next to help me with this issue? Hernia mesh cone removal surgery, (The devil now believed to be causing me so many bladder issues) a 3rd hernia repair, groin reinforcement and something weird and wonderful regarding the nerves in that area. I’d love to share more of my story, have the time? Please do join me!

Best wishes to you!!!
