    Dilating the Urethra

    I just read about a procedure to dilate the urethra that the Dr can do. I also read that many MS'ers can have Urethra spasms and that it is not uncommon in women with MS.

    Has anyone had a dilation of their urethra? If so please tell us about what lead to it and if it helped.

    I have many bladder issues including urgency, inability to "hold it" til I get to the commode, problems emptying bladder (I don't have a "steady stream" of urine--it takes me a while to urinate) then I don't even completely empty my bladder. I am on Oxybutanine but only at night.

    ANY FEEDBACK IS GREATLY APPRECIATED
    Peace to all,

    Hello Fishytrout, I have a history of UTI's and years ago I had my urethra dilated because I was having bladder spasms. Getting my urethra dilated only helped the spasms. Fast forward to now, I have the same bladder issues and you.

      Thank you for your response. What you just explained makes perfect sense. I suspected the dilitation couldn't help with bladder spasms. It just doesn't make physiological sense . Thank you for your reply. Please know I appreciate it.
      I guess I will just keep taking my Oxybutanin and hope for the best. I hope your bladder spasms get under enough control that you aren't suffering too much
      Peace to all,
