Description
Volloyhaug and coauthors check urine germs years after a bladder tape surgery. Some women still leak urine or have pelvic pain after surgery. The team asks if urine germs link to those late signs. They also ask if germs link to low satisfaction.
The study ran in 2022 at a hospital in Trondheim, Norway. It held 127 women who had tape surgery from 2001 to 2012. Forms gauged leak types, pelvic pain, and satisfaction. Urine was drawn by tube and grown for two to five days. The team compared signs in women with and without germ growth.
