Got told in hospital last week my bladder was 100ml capacity with urethral stenosis as well . Not a clue if 100ml capacity means the whole organ is tiny !
Doctor stretched bladder out to 500ml , and dilated urethra under GA. Surgeon came round to see me in recovery but I was off my face and clueless as to what was said .
Doctor the next morning (registrar) said to me that it’s probably congenital, and will need stretched every year and won’t get better . Also said I need urodynamics doing - as I only pee 2/3 times a day and rarely get an urge, just pain . They said by rights should have needed the loo every hour or more .
I’ve had catheters dozens of times , and trained to self cath too . Prone to UTIs - seven over the summer .
I can’t see a GP for another two weeks and a bit clueless as to what small bladder likely means - and what might happen next . I’ve not heard of this before, previous diagnosis was an atomic bladder but now they’re saying it’s overactive . Online just talks about incontinence , bladder removal and renal issues ...
Just wondering if anyone else has any experience and can out my mind at rest a bit til can see GP!
