Can Urinary Incontinence And Damaged Urethra Be Related To Having Had The Hysterectomy?

HI my name is Denise, I had a hysterectomy on March 27,2012. My organs was damaged the ureter and a hole was made in bladder. I had the repairs done,I wore a catherther for about six weeks so the hole in my bladder could heal. And a neuphostymybag so the ureter could heal I went to surgery on May 3,2012 to have the bags remove and the repairs done. I have urine leaking from my vagina after having my hysterectomy the urologist that I was seeing said that I had urinary incontinence and a damage urethra so thats why I was leaking urine and that a mid urethral sling would stop the leaking. I had the surgery 3 hours out of surgery the leaking began again and that was on DECEMBER 20,2013. The urologist had a different test done and said it was a fistula I went back to surgery he said he didnt see a fistula so he did another perceedure that he said woud work that was on January 31,2014 five days after the perceedure the leaking started again. I still have urine leaking out of the vigina. Now the urologist is saying that I have vaginal voiding and it cant be fixed. I am going to get a second opinion, because I have lost all hope in him. I believe that it is a fistula like the test stated I have to find a good urogenogolist that will run t be test and find the hole. Or tell me it can t be fixed.

You have taken a good dicision. Infact you should have done this earlier. From your problem it appears that there has become an inadvertment connecting fistula which connects the urinary bladder with vagina.
The exact situation can only be judged after examination and investigations.
