Hi. I'm new to this forum. i've had OAB for years and am now totally reliant 24/7 on pullups for urinary incontinence .
I'm so fed up with the cost, inconvenience, and the amount of heavy garbage I generate. I'd like to get Bladder botox from my Dr. I had it done years ago as hospital outpatient with twilight sleep... and I had months of relief. The 2nd time was done in a Dr. office with just an injection of pain number-- but it hurt too much and didn't work.
Please explain the "retention" you all speak of, and why is self- catheterization needed. Is that common for women?
I'll ask my Dr about this, but wanted also to hear from those who have gone thru the procedure. Many thanks.
