I am a 38 year old Mother of two. My children are teenagers however over the past 10 years, I have had more and more occassions of incontinence. I was told that Chil bearing can cause this. I have had a Urodynamic study done and found that the Urrethra muscle is very weak. I will be having sling surgery to correct this. Now the point of my question. How is this classified and what do the classifications mean? I was told I was a something 3 and then something else with a 3 and sometimes a two. What does all this mean? I meant to ask when I had my appointment but, really was surprised by the findings and didn't think to ask at the time.
Thank you, Lynn
