How long does a uterine suspension last?
Just in general, without any specific details of the surgery, How long or how many years does a suspension of the uterus last? Or does the suspension last you for a life time? I had an incision in the abdomen above the pubic hair and mesh material was added to give the hold up strength. I just wondered what the average is that you see? There’s no scientific data that I know of for how long a suspension lasts. From urinary incontinence surgery results I would say that only a very few, e.g., 30-40% last a lifetime. At about 10 years, a 50% success rate is not uncommon for both prolapse and incontinence surgery. At the time of menopause, within about 1-5 years, more relaxation takes place and any natural ligaments helping the support tend to loosen at that time. I would expect surgery using mesh to last on the longer side of those numbers. Repair of prolapsed uterus and bladder without hysterectomy I’m 38 years old. I have been pregnant 8 times and have had 4 children and 4 miscarriages.
