Hi all , new to the forum. Been diagnosed just over a year and to be quite honest it has been very rocky!
Basically I started to experience pressure on my bladder constantly and the only thing that would relieve it was a hot shower no matter what! So before xmas I was admitted to hospital due to severe bladder retention. The pain in my lower abdomen was unbearable. My stomach was so swollen that I looked heavily pregnant. I am now catheterising every day. I was admitted a month beforehand due to a ruptured ovarian cyst and the doctors did all sorts of scans.They had failed to tell me when I was leaving in October/November that there was signs of kidney damage on my scans due to this bladder obstruction. They said my kidneys were actually refluxing and the nephrons were inflamed as a result. When I was discharged I went to my GP for a prescription and he mentioned hydronephrosis on my notes which the hospital also failed to mention. Has anyone has experience with any of these issues?? (Sorry for the essay)
