I have gone thru Urethral surgery . Doctor is asying my bladder becoame very week now, because the problem i was facing since 2 years before. Bladder was holding the urine too much. it became enlarged.

Some time I use self cath 2 times and some time 3-4 times.
Can you please suggest me which medicine should i take,and how much time it would take to recover it.

I am taking Urivoid and Omnic Ocas Tables

Hi,

This is introducing a catheter into the urethra and into the bladder to ensure that the bladder is properly drain.

One reason for this would be a neurogenic bladder, meaning that one can not control the bladder. Not being able to empty the bladder which is the case with me.

I had to self cath at least once a day usualy at night before going to bed. Some days it would require several times a day as I was not able to empty my bladder.

All the best.
