    The TVT is only effective in cases of stress incontinence, ie leaking when coughing/sneezing/lifting heavy weights etc. Unless I am reading this wrong I dont think Linda has this.

    PS I had aTVT about 4 years ago and am very happy with the outcome.

    Do see your doctor about this problem Linda.....this is such a common problem and there are a lot of possible solutions. These are the problems we dont talk about with our friends and family.

    In the mean time make sure you are using a proper incontinence pad [Tena are excellent] and not an ordinary sanitary pad. They will hold much more moisture.

    Wow linda91933 how come you have to wear a heavy pad after drinking over a cup of water? And maybe you should cut back on the amount of water you drink
