قبل الإجراء
Your doctor will try to find out why you are leaking urine through some or all of the following:
- Medical history—information about medicines, illnesses, number of pregnancies, and previous surgeries; pattern of leaking and how it is affecting your life
- Urine sample—to look for the presence of infection or other problems
- Physical exam—includes a rectal and vaginal exam
- Additional testing may be ordered to evaluate bladder function and urine flow, such as:
- Urodynamic testing (urine flow studies)—a temporary catheter is placed to study bladder function
- Cystoscopy—a procedure done to view the inside of the bladder
Leading up to surgery:
- التحدث مع طبيبك عن الأدوية الخاصة بك. قد يطلب منك التوقف عن تناول بعض الأدوية تصل إلى أسبوع واحد قبل العملية مثل:
- الأسبرين أو غيره من العقاقير المضادة للالتهابات
- مخففات الدم ، مثل الوارفارين (الكومادين)
- كلوبيدوجريل (بلافيكس)
- Arrange for a ride home from the hospital.
