221 | Bladder Leaks Aren't Normal: My Pelvic Floor Surgery Story

Bladder leaks are not something you just have to accept after 40. In this very personal episode, I'm sharing my experience just five days after pelvic floor reconstruction and bladder sling surgery. After years of incontinence, pressure, urgency, and the feeling that "everything was falling out," I finally reached the point where I knew I needed answers. We'll talk honestly about how pregnancy, childbirth, aging, menopause, and hormone imbalance can affect the pelvic floor, along with my journey through evaluation, incontinence and treatment options, surgery, and early recovery. I'm also sharing the emotional side—the embarrassment, frustration, pain, faith, and relief that can come with finally addressing something many women manage for years. This is not medical advice, but I hope my story helps you ask better questions and reminds you that you are not alone with urge incontinence and bladder symptoms.
