Procedimientos de cabestrillo vaginal para la incontinencia urinaria - Recovery

Nombres alternativos

Cabestrillo pubovaginal; Cabestrillo transobturador

Antes del procedimiento:

Coméntele siempre al médico o a la enfermera qué fármacos está tomando, incluso medicamentos, suplementos o hierbas que haya comprado sin una receta.

Durante los días antes de la cirugía:

  • Le pueden solicitar que deje de tomar ácido acetilsalicílico (aspirin), ibuprofeno (Advil, Motrin), warfarina (Coumadin) y cualquier otro fármaco que dificulte la coagulación de la sangre.
  • Pregúntele al médico qué fármacos debe tomar aun el día de la cirugía.
  • Le pueden solicitar que se afeite el área púbica antes de la operación.
  • Si fuma, trate de dejar el hábito. El médico o la enfermera le pueden ayudar.

En el día de la cirugía:

  • Por lo general, se le solicitará no beber ni comer nada durante 6 a 12 horas antes del procedimiento.
  • Tómese los fármacos que el médico le recomendó tomar con un pequeño sorbo de agua.
  • El médico o la enfermera le dirán a qué hora debe llegar al hospital.

Después del procedimiento:

Las suturas (puntadas) en la vagina se disolverán después de varias semanas. Después de 1 a 3 meses, usted debe ser capaz de tener relaciones sexuales sin ningún problema.

Usted puede estar en el hospital durante menos de 24 horas. Algunas personas necesitan quedarse durante 1 o 2 días.

Pronóstico:

El escape de orina mejora en la mayoría de las mujeres, pero todavía se puede presentar algo de filtración. Esto puede darse debido a que otros problemas están causando la incontinencia urinaria. Con el tiempo, el escape de orina puede regresar.
