Urologist said I do as well. He did a cystoscopy and told be my bladder was distended and very floppy looking in shape.
Never have bladder infections and they dont know why.
However my mom has had a distended bladder since she was 40 years old she must catherize herself. She's been self catherizing for 35 years.
I dont have to thank goodness.
I dont have an answer either...doctor had no answer.
Wish you well.

Sorry to hear that. His first doctor told him to catherize himself as this was the only option. He went for a second opinion and now is on two medication that has helped him. But he will have to have surgery at some point. He put him on bethanechol twice a day and will re-evaluate him in 3 months. He really doesn't want to self catherize, hopefully this med will help for awhile. Do you have Hep C also?
I hope he gets better...........Have no idea if its HepC related and if it is there's not a thing we can do about it anyway.
All I know is imagine a woman going in to a public restroom to catherize herself!!!
My poor mom never went out due to this problem......
A man can still go to a public restroom.
Imagine someone seeing feet in the opposite direction in the rest room and its a woman.
Who know maybe all these years they thought my mom was a transvesite???
Feel well and keep us posted on this.
