Bladder Distention Reviews

Show: for
I have had many. They worked in the beginning but no longer work for me.
I had it done in 1986 and had a lot of residual pain afterwards and I couldn't empty well.
only at time of diagnosis
I have had this with Hydrodestention, urodyanimics and cystoscopy several times, it helps for a few weeks, then back to the usual.My bladder is now down to holding only 5.5 oz. and still have bladder spasms regularly. Stress is the main thing that brings on the spasms. Now I'm waiting for a magic cure-all pill!
It worked well but now i cant tell when i have a bladder infection . The bladder is damaged. I had about 10 .

works for some time afterwards but I dread the procedure
I have had this done 3 times and this did break the cycle. for a short time... I would try everything else first.
This may have done the trick in '06!
Works when I start getting bladder infections every other month.
