Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I am really hoping someone can help me out with this one. The other day I went to a urologist and they said that my bladder was very small and would need a drug to help stretch it out. I would prefer to leave any part of me intact, though. The problem is that since it is so small that it causes me to urinate almost every 1/2 hour to every hour. The doctor also said my urethra was bent and this was causes my bladder to empty in parts it should not be emptying into. If anyone has any experience with this, please let me know. I do not want to have to take any drugs. Maybe there are exercises to help? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Betty, Do more research and get another opinion - surgery is usually not the answer - listed below are some quotes regarding this subject: .. . . Women with urinary incontinence are often advised to get bladder surgery, even hysterectomies. But this drastic approach may be completely unnecessary, according to Dr. Hufnagel, who says that women need to be educated about more conservative treatments for this common everyday occurrence. Womans Encyclopedia Of Natural Healing by Dr Gary Null, page 26 .. . .One surprising discovery in recent research is that smoking is the cause of 28 percent of urinary incontinence in women. Studies indicate that surgery and the use of pharmaceuticals are often unnecessary; other methods that have proven effective are behavioral techniques and biofeedback, Kegel exercises, which strengthen pelvic muscles, electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor, and acupuncture. A natural treatment, according to one study, can be extracted from the plant marshmallow; this helps incontinence by treating inflammation of the genito-urinary tract. Womans Encyclopedia Of Natural Healing by Dr Gary Null, page 26 .. . .In 1985 the U.S. Senate's Special Committee on Aging found that unnecessary operations (most for hernias, hemorrhoids, gallstones, enlarged prostates, heart disease and similar conditions), far from helping patients were actually shortening their lives and wasting money — billions of dollars. The committee found that operations increased 130 percent after Medicare went into effect. The American College of Surgeons and the American surgical Association suggested that 30 percent of the millions of operations being performed each year were unnecessary with 50 percent of the remaining procedures beneficial but not essential to save or extend the patient's life. In all, it was thought that the needless and dubious operations were causing an unnecessary thirty thousand deaths per year. The unnecessary expenses and deaths become noticeable when doctors are in short supply or go on strike. In such cases the death rate in an area can drop remarkably — much to the embarrassment of the medical community (when the facts can't be covered up).
