[New Temp Incontinence]

Hello everyone, I am new on this site but wanted to share this news with the right group. A little about me, i am in my late 20's and wanted to be a bed wetter for quite some time. When I was in college I was very good friends with a guy ( names omitted ) who became a Urologist. He is in the western PA region. Anyways, I heard about the new proceedure using Botox to cure overactive bladders, or in certain areas of the muscle in the bladder area, relaxes the sphinctor muscle to help void more fluid. I was a little to embarrassed to tell him the real reason I wanted to do this, so I told him that I was doing research and wanted to write a paper ( since I am going for my masters) on daily life dealing with incontinence. It took a little persuasion, but he did perform the 4 minute process. It was slightly uncomfortable, they actually go into the bladder, and with a small camera and a catheter looking needle inject small amounts of Botox in specific areas. Since this wasnt what this process was designed to do, he tried a small dose, removed the instrument and waited about 20 minutes. I noticed little to no leakage. He applied the lubricant to the cath and did it a second time, this time I felt a pinch or two. Once he removed his equipment, the results were instant. He gave me some antibiodics, and instructed me to drink lots of fluids to prevent infection. He gave me a few condom catheters to get me home, so I stopped at the local grocery store to buy a pack of depends. Once I got home I pitched the cath's,,, this proved to be a big mistake. When drinking lots of fluids, it doesnt take long to go thru a pack of diapers, when I got down to the last few I drove back to the store to get more, but leaked out the side while driving. What a mess. I got a little frustrated, went home and changed clothes and a new depends, now down to one. Bought 2 packs until I could mail order at a better price. The process worked a little too well, I have a constant dribble that wont stop, the part that freaks me out is when I want to pee in the toilet, I cant. I cannot relax a muscle I cant feel or control. Needless to say, I am so glad this is a temp situation. He said it will last 3 to 5 months. I am not sure that I like this situation I got myself into, it was cool the first 5 days or so, now a cant wait for June. I have had 4 accidents at work, I actually went back and got some more condom cath's for when I am at work. They dont stick all that well, so I wear depends underwear with them. The adheasive is really starting to bother me, I may have to try something else. I will keep you updated with my progress, I have a couple more sites to post,,,,,,,,

I had the botox treatment as well, and there are some things you left out.

1) you do know that botox is very expensive (€ 250) and not every health insurance covers it?

2) you cant go home right away, you need to have that catheter (urethral type) in until the next morning until the swelling is gone. As far as I understood it, you left right away.

3) they dont give antibiotics after such a surgery, its only an injection.

4) how could you feel a pinch? with local anaestethics you cant feel anything while they're busy, and dont tell me he didnt use anaetethics as an injection in the sphincter is extremely painfull.

My urologist only injected a bit on the edges of the sphincter, just like it is officially done, this left me only very very lightly incontinent, I leak a few drops when having a full bladder and trying to hold it.

When I bend over, I tend to get a very urgent urge, and sometimes it even is too urgent, in the way that I am a bit too late, but not often.

Thats what I wanted to share...

[Do You Wear Your Diaper In Public]

Always.

Also at home but also when I go to school/work/store etc

I even wore it to a urologist twice

first time he was shocked cuz he said "Wow, is it THAT bad you need those ??"

[Retention And Prostate Infection]

i know, i've joined this group a while ago, have read the whole manual, but in general this is how I've been busy for a long while.

as long as the narrowing near the bladder-neck is still there it isnt going to work very much.

Plus I have a strong bladder by nature, and in that case (I know from a friend) even 28years of wearing diapers and just letting go doesnt do anything.

Hypno tapes (from warpmymind.com and some others) didnt do anything either, used them for weeks and in hte end they became annoying.

But thanks for replying

didnt expect much replies because it was silent for several days

[Bed Wetting]

I can tell that it failed for me.

I tried weeks of hypno tapes up to the point where they get annoying.

Wore many months diapers to bed, went every hour/30 minutes to the toilet during the day and wore a few months 24/7 .

Still no results though

[Retention And Prostate Infection]

Hi,

As I'm new i'll first introduce myself a bit.

I'm a 21y old man, live in belgium and since six months ago the doctors told me I have a prostate infection.

I never had any complaints or whatsoever really, its just that for the past years I really wanted to become incontinent, but didnt know how, so at one point I snapped and went to see a doctor.

I thought he wasnt going to find anything, but he surprised me more than I could imagine :s

in november 2004, the urologist said I had a bacterial prostate infection+++ and that the outside of the prostate is partially calcified.

After taking 5 types of strong antibiotics this infection didnt lower much, I got fed up with it and seven months of the general "just let it go" method didnt work. I catheterised myself for 2 months (wich was a very painfull moment ) but this didnt weaken the bladder muscle strength nor decrease its capacity.

As of this moment, I have also bladdersclerosis near the exit of the bladder. (wich is additional scar-tissue that closes the thing more, but its not severe enough for a doctor to be willing to remove it.

My bladder currently holds about 242ml and the urine flow is rated at 12.5ml/s

On the 8th of June, I am to see a third urologist, in the hopes I can convince him to do something more drastic, as I am sick of taking pills that make me feel sick and no other method seems to work to become urinary incontinent, not even semi-incontinent (as some would call the result of long-term letting it go)

I've been on many places, looking for help, advice and info, but this remains to be a difficult subject

Yours faithfully,

Incubator.
