Transitional Vertebra and incontinence
by Cay5652, Oct 29, 2009 12:03PM
My son is 8. He has bad problems with urinary incontinence for 4 years. Constant dribbling, UTI's, hydronephrosis, etc. He has had VCUG and cystoscopy. There is no physical blockage. His urologist says the blockage is functional, in other words, sphincter dyssynergia. As far as I can tell people with this conditional have a serious disease such as cerebral palsy or MS. He has none of these and has no other health or behavioral problems. He had an MRI about 2 years ago showing transitional vertebra S1-L5 and mild disc bulges at L1-2, L3-4, L4-5. Could this be pressing on nerves and causing his problems? Also scoliosis runs in my family although I usually associate this with females.
