Bladder Retraining

[Archives1]

So Im getting so frustrated with bladder retraining...its a slow process. One which sometimes feels pointless and makes my own body feel like the enemy,
Anyone got any words of encouragement or success? Am I wasting my time? I feel like it has a ceiling limit to its benefits but my consultant wants me to persevere before we move on(I am on meds too but not helping).

I went through bladder retraining and it works. I went from 1.5 hours between voids to about 3 hours between voids over a couple of months after my surgery. I also did the same thing again about a year later after radiation. It does work. Just be patient and follow the procedure. You don’t have to be perfect, but the training over a period of time does work. I thought this was amazing. I had never heard of it or read about it until my pelvic floor therapist told me that it would work.

With your urologist, ask about Botox injections. Good luck!

Are you oab or post surgery for prostate? Perhaps someone knows whether or not bladder retraining would help with oab. That's my diagnosis- and it's from a head injury, so I've always assumed there was nothing that will make a difference in my case. I hope I'm wrong.
