Peeing After Surgery

[sswinsfba]

Before my implant i’d been noticing some of those “urgency & frequency” issues as time went on. Now, 2 months postop, i too notice that these issues have diminished. I have been wondering if this is in my head or if there’s something implant-related to it. Either way, it’s better now.

This is interesting.

A year ago (a yr before I got my IPP), I saw a urologist for the 1st time about this problem which I still thought was related to BPH but which he immediately diagnosed as an "overactive bladder" not BPH and prescribed Myrbetric (a bladder relaxant) that immediately fixed the problem.

I'm motivated to take fewer, not more, meds. So, I'm going to stop taking Myrbetriq for awhile to see if the UFU returns or not.

If not, I 'll be happy to stop taking Myrbetriq too but I'll carry my pee bottle w/me in case the implant alone can't prevent my UFU from returning.

Update: It only took 2 days after I stopped taking Myrbetriq for my UFU to return.

Started peeing @ 2-3 hrs instead of @ 4-6 hrs when taking it. Going to start taking it again before going to sleep tonight when I take my daily med.

So, in my case, the IPP had no effect on my UFU. I had UFU preop and still have it postop.

Besides my systems unwillingness to tolerate most medicines, starting a med that can cause such a drastic change when quitting it is one more reason for me to not try it. Currently take only a vitamin D daily, but only because my doc pushed it. Can't be certain but a recent health episode might be a side effect.
