UROGYNECOLOGY: Postop midurethral sling surgery for stress incontinence, changes in urination.

I'm 3 months postop midurethral sling for stress incontinence. It was successful in that I have no SI so far. But I do note the urinary stream is slower than it used to be and dribbling at the end, which my Dr. knows about and I return to her in a month. She did say that slow stream and dribbling could be stopped with cutting the sling and suggested a medicine for the dribbling, both which I don't want. In addition now with urination if I strain as if to hurry up a bit, the urine flow stops, but relax those muscles and flow resumes. Then if I squeeze pelvic muscle to stop the flow, as I learned in doing kegel exercises, the flow continues with dribbling for awhile. Even if bladder seems emptied, when I go to stand up, more dribbling. Do these two incidents suggest a problem or would they just be a normal reaction from sling surgery, and something to learn to live with? Thank you very much.
