I have been suffering with Shy Bladder for as long as I can remember. As I am getting older, now 30. It is becoming worse. It is now affecting every aspect of my life. I March I approached my GP I was reffered to a Urologist. In fact the appoinment was today. The consultant was very good, Listened to my concerns. She conducted several tests. Ultrasound on the Kidneys with a full bladder and after urinating. 2x Flow tests. Flixble Cystoscopy and examination of the prostrate. All within a few hours not bad for the NHS!! She has diagnosed my condition as both medical and Pyscological. In that my Bladder does not empty properly when urinating, And my Kidneys are enlarged. She thinks the Shy Bladder is self taught by a way of delaing with the problem. She has reffered me to her colleague to conduct a bladder stress test. And put me on a course of Beta Blockers which will allow urine to pass more easily. Not being one to take pills I have read that St Johns Wart is meant to be good? Anyone any suggestions?
