Re: Lack of pelvic floor contry

As Mr Harding says, pelvic floor muscle training with a physiotherapist may make a big difference for you initially instead of medications. I would recommend asking for a referral to your local Continence care services to discuss this further.

Re: Incontinence

I think advice from a Continence specialist would be helpful, as Mr Harding suggests. Simple things such as reducing caffeine intake may help in the meantime, as well as pelvic floor exercises. Good luck.

Re: Bladder Removal

Sorry to hear you are having such difficulties with your bladder. I agree with Chris that trying some options to treat possible chronic UTI would be a good idea to discuss with your Urologist in the first instance, before considering the last-resort option of bladder removal surgery.

Re: Catheters
