Chrissy;
Back in 2011 I had to have an indwelling catheter because my PPMS had shut my bladder and the urine backed up into my kidneys and caused my to have Chronic Kidney Disease. Then 3 years later I had to have a S/P tube put in. It slowed down the number of UTIs I was getting (I still got them but not quite as frequently). There's more care to be done with them but that was the best way for me to go. Fortunately in September 2019 when the nurse tried to change it she couldn't get it back in and the ER wasn't able to either. So, I decided to see how I did without it and am happy to say that since then I haven't had to use one again. But I am stating to have some minor problems and am keeping an eye on things to see how it goes. Hoping I won't need to go that route again. I wish you well and if it's ok with you I would like to add you to my team. (●'◡'●) Jeri
I don't understand question. I have Neurogenic bladder for years. I take prescription Myrbetrik. I earlier was self catherizing too empty bladder. I no longer need that. I have not had recent utis yea!
You definitely can add me and I’m going to have my husband self catheter me I didn’t realize that he could do it and it would still be self catheter lol but waiting on supplies and just had my renal ultrasound and bladder ultrasound last Friday so waiting on the results so we’ll see ♥️
I store after going I still have 275cc in my bladder and it’s caused my bladder to stretch and become large so intermittent cathing is a must now and if it causes too many UTI’s then I’ll have to consider a SPC for long term solution ugh thank you for taking the time to answer my question 🥰
Yes, bladder issues are common with MS and can include problems where the bladder holds too much urine (retention). This can lead to symptoms like:
• Having to pee multiple times after standing up (double voiding)
• Dribbling
• Difficulty emptying the bladder completely
• Unexpected complete bladder emptying when overfull Show Full Answer
