Padguy Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi, I have been dealing with bladder problems for quite some time now. It all started years ago, with slight dribbling after I urinated, you know wet spots in the underwear, which started to increase in size and wetness Link to comment
Midwest Babygirl Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 A urologist is more than likely going to want to get you on medications or possibly try surgery depending on what they find. Link to comment
Padguy Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 The Detrusol I was prescribed, did cause some sideeffects I didn't like, like dry mouth, headache, had trouble focusing, the sideeffects from that single medication made me quit it rather fast. Told my doctor about it and he agreed that since it didn't do much, and given the sideeffects, there was no reason to continue taking it. Also my wife appreciated I stopped taking it, since she could notice a change in me from the medication. My main concern is not to say I'm ok with diapers to the urologist, but more if the test results from the urodynamics will be inconclusive and I show up as a fake. I already have had bloodtests done, which showed no signs of any diseases....I was worrying about diabetes was the reason for this. Link to comment
SunOfSheep Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The last thing your urologist is going to think is that your faking this for diapers, And i mean thats the LAST thing he will think, Dont worry about telling him, just politely say that you would rather use other means Link to comment
John Davis Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Padguy, Do not attempt to influence the results of your urodynamics tests! Link to comment
babylin Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 don't over-think this urodynamics test Padguy. Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Advice from an old friend, but some of the best that was ever given to me: Never lie to your Doctor or Lawyer because they are on your side and without the truth, they cannot help you. You don't have to volunteer that you like diapers, that's not really relevant here, but getting the correct test results is. You cannot decide well what to do unless you know equally well what the situation is, and that is the point of the tests. The better the information you have is, the better you will be able to decide. Simple. Bettypooh Link to comment

The better the information you have is, the better you will be able to decide. Simple. Bettypooh I'm aware of this, and no, I do not consider lying to my doctor. However from what I have heard about urodynamics, the tests might be so flawed, that they cannot come up with any firm conslusion on what's causing it. what's the most important for me, is to know, that nothing serious is wrong with me, that is cancer, diabetes, or something other serious decease. Although my leaking is annoying I have learned to deal with it, and honestly, I don't see it as a big problem....don't get me wrong, I was in a pretty bad mood, when it started and the embarrassment of needing to wear protection did make me feel less of a man - there is a stigma to diapers, whether we like it or not. However my wife have been a great supporter, and although it does annoy her somewhat, mainly because my private parts aren't readily accessible as they used to - as she puts it, it's kinda turn-off for her, if she should open my diaper in order to have it her way. Besides this, she's still there for me and as said a great support. Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I don't place a lot of faith in urodynamic studies myself, as it seems they are more oriented to measuring you against everyone else without understanding that everyone is considerably different here. But it is the best the medical world can do right now so you just go with it. It can help detect some serious problems even if they may not have a solution to offer for them all. The thing to remember (and you often have to remind the doctors of this) is that it is your decision alone as to what is going to happen to you and you're body, and their role is only to inform you of what they think and to tell you what your options are, then get you the treatments you want to have done. Your body, your choice- NOT theirs. Bettypooh Link to comment
Rob110 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Hopefully your wife will realize that accepting wearing diapers to control an issue is not a bad choice, meds can really mess with you and surgery can make the issue worse.

Bettypooh Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 WHOA here, let's not get into anyone bashing anyone else. If you disagree then do so with some respect and civility. Debate the message, not the messenger. Us Mods here prefer to be rather lazy and to not have any work to do here, so we get rather upset when we have to act Bettypooh Link to comment
DiapermanAl Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I had the test done last year. Reason was i was having retention. Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 All I can add is that I've had WAY too many urodynamics test over the years. Yeah, they are horribly inaccurate, and do surprisingly little to indicate exactly what is going on with your bladder. My biggest advice is to make sure your doctor gets the best set of real data from that test so he/she can make a somewhat proper diagnosis. It will be extremely uncomfortable, especially when they want you to pee out the catheter. Don't stop it if it hurts, just bear with it and do what you can to finish that test. Also make sure you tell your doctor you are actually just fine Link to comment
Padguy Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 @Bettypooh Sorry, I didn't wanted to sound rude, but that guy was way out of line. @babybrian Thanks, for your elaboration, yes my intention is to get information and to rule out anything serious diseases. My doctor put me on medication when I first revealed to him I was having problems. The medication didn't help, and it did cause some side effects which wasn't worth having, also since the medication didn't help me anyway, it was Detrusol. Link to comment
