But I get it,..... you ladies need a creep free zone to talk about your own unique issues! ;)

Not so much a creep-free zone, but as a place to discuss our gender-specific issues without getting in you guys' way. I think it's okay for us ladies to use the other sections when we're discussing non-gender-specific incon issues or strategies, but I think a ladies section is appropriate sometimes. I'm certainly not opposed to the guys reading/posting here, though.

Women's issues have certainly brought the topic of continence into the main stream for sure. Seeing lots of adds for the female pull-ups and frankly addressing bladder issues. So yeah, lets hear it for the girls! :)

Hi. I am new here and really want/need a place for support from fellow women sufferers. I have a interstim device and my urogyno is advocating pelvic sling surgery. Any feedback on that? Thanks :?:

Hi, tomatosoup, and welcome to the forum. We ladies are a bit under-represented here, but even though men and women often become incontinent by different, gender-specific means, we all benefit from having a place to express our thoughts, exchange information, and vent our frustrations. We are a supportive community with a wealth of experience and knowledge which we readily share. Also, if you haven't already done so, be sure to check out the primer section on the site.

I don't have an interstim device*, but I've been seriously thinking about pelvic sling surgery as well, even though I've heard some horror stories about mesh. There's a new member here - her user name is assertivewoman, I think, who is planning to have the surgery. She posted recently that her doctor is planning to use her own tissue. I've not heard of that alternative before, but I certainly will discuss it with my women's healthcare provider. I'll also post (or pm, if you prefer) what I discover in the course of my own personal quest. Once again, welcome!

Wetters

*There's at least one active member here (a guy) who has one.
