finally got to see the specialist urologist yesterday that deals with neurogenic bladder and voiding dysfunctions. Highly impressed with him so far, asked a ton of questions and seemed very interested in "my curious case". he is not impressed with my general urologists conclusion of "here's some catheters, have a nice nice day".
Well, he finds there are conflicting results in my tests and want to more testing. Specifically wants to redo my urodynamic study but with video this time. Fine, i guess but looking online I see mixed results of if it offered anymore information and they claim it can take TWICE as long to do. So that means almost 3 hours of standing there with all this stuff stuck in me? 1-1/2 was bad enough.
I'm probably going to do this because he thinks I may be able to stop or at least only occasionally use the catheters, since my PVR "is not really crazy". As long as there is no real danger to my kidneys or chance of more UTI's I'm liking that.
Anybody had the video and did it offer anything more than the standard urodynamic study? How long was the thing.?
Thanks!
