Actually, when fixing one problem, it may help create another without meaning to, so your doctor may very well not have missed anything. Wasn't there so I can't be sure.

I'd suggest a consult with a University based urogynecologist. That's where I'd send a family member with your complaints.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
