- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 62 year old woman with a history of two normal vaginal deliveries who presented to physicians with vaginal prolapse and worsening stress urinary incontinence, despite the use of topical oestrogen cream and pelvic floor exercises and had surgery to repair her vaginal prolapse and incontinence. A discussion of a systemic allergic reaction which the patient had to a mid urethral sling that had been implanted during her surgery is presented.
