This Thursday I will be having my urodynamics testing done. I've read, and re-read the Health Pages on Quix's experience. My bladder issues, are both physical and neurological in nature, from what the doctors suspect. I have a grade 2 bladder prolapse, which the doctor thinks, is causes some of my stress incontinence issues.
The issues that they think are more neurological, is when I wake in the morning with a full bladder, it just lets go, without any warning. I will run to the bathroom, while a small, steady, stream is flowing. This doesn't happen all the time, nor does it have any rhythm or reason to it. For example: I did it on Christmas morning, but skipped the entire month of January. It did happen once in February.
Will this urodynamics test be able to find out the cause of this, even though it's not present constantly, or doesn't happen constantly? I hope that it will be able to, because I'm sick of living in fear of peeing the bed, at my age.
The doctors also discuss a surgery that I might want to consider. It is similar to a bladder tac & sling, but the difference is they attach the mesh holding your bladder to your spine. They said considering my age (being young), that this procedure would last longer than the traditional method. The only problem, or worry that I have with this is, I'm unDX and I could have MS. Do you think this could pose a problem with getting a diagnosis (because of the materials it's made of) or cause a problem with spinal issues, if I do have MS? I already have issues with doctors giving me a hard time about my vena cava filter and not being able to go on a 3T because of it, even though my vascular surgeon said it was fine.
I'm going to have another surgery on the 12th on my breast. They need to remove some milk ducts that are producing some nasty stuff for 4 years now. They don't think it's cancer, but they want to remove them and make sure because of the family history. I don't think it is anything either, because my mammograms have been normal, but I would like to know the cause.
Sorry if I'm rambling..it's been a stressful week.
