I had TVT sling surgery along with a rectocele repair 12 days ago. Urine stream is weak. Also am having intense itching that started mainly around and on the two pubic incisions. Itching has now spread to breasts, arms, stomach, and wrists. Am worried that this is not normal in the healing process and could signify an allergy to the mesh sling. Your experience and thoughts?

    That is certainly not normal and yes it may be an allergy. Alternatively you have picked up some sort of infection. Whatever it is you need to contact your surgeon or your doctor.
