I have suffered with Stress Incontinence for many years....
I have suffered with Stress Incontinence for many years. As I
increased in age, the symptoms became severe especially with coughing, sneezing
and laughing. The consultants in the UK were unable to help as the procedure
required is not available anymore in the UK.
In late January this year, I made contact with Dr Alpaslan Caliskan who
advised that he was able to help me. After many calls and texts and an in-depth
conversation about my symptoms and health, I travelled to Turkey to have the
procedure.
After examination, Dr Alpaslan advised that I should have the Mid
Urethral Sling (TVT). My operation was completed on 28th February. The
operation went well, and I was discharged next day. For 3 days, I was symptom
free with no leakage whatsoever. However, after this time, I developed severe
urge incontinence, and when I was in the standing position I would leak badly.
I had to return to the UK; so, I contacted my own doctor. I was tested for a
Urine infection which was negative, the urge incontinence carried on for a few
weeks and I was becoming anxious. My UK doctor advised that I was extremely
constipated and prescribed treatment to help with this.
Once I had managed to clear the constipation, the leakage stopped
immediately. My doctor advised that my bowel had been pressing on the bladder
causing the urge incontinence. I no longer have any incontinence and am able to
carry on with my life normally.
Dr Alpaslan has been extremely helpful and I would recommend him to
anyone. The service I received was extremely professional. The operation was a
success, and I would not hesitate to recommend this Doctor to anyone. The
surgery he performed is life changing. Of course, there was some discomfort
afterwards, but after four weeks, I am feeling great and can now live my life
without the worry of urine leakage.
