Did > you wear a catheter at all? I have the same problem with the full bladder. Almost four months since PVP. Normally urge comes on at about 200 ml. Maximum is perhaps 400 ml. This results in me getting up two or three times a night. But with flow like it was 30 years ago it doesn't take long. A far difference from before the PVP where I was getting up every hour or so and spending a few minutes to dribble out about 50 to 100 ml. As for the flow, give it time. At five days I had flow that was only a bit better than before the procedure. For me the most improvement came at about three weeks. So, where I am at is that although I would like to completely eliminate the night visits, I don't spend much time getting emptied out. I just had my three month checkup and there was little or no retention. The Dr. offered to have me try Veslcare which I think is similar to the detrusitol you asked about. Both for treating overactive bladders. I don't think I will bother with the medication. For you I can only recommend giving it time. Medication might help speed it up. That perhaps is up to you. I would say give it a try if you want. Might be our age as well!! I noted you posted your age a few days ago. I am 76. If you looked at any of the photos you will see that things are pretty rough in there. It takes a few months for the urethra to get back to somewhat normal.

Did >> you wear a catheter at all? Hugh, I take it you are a Brit. You guys doing it outside of the Nat'l Health System should consider having it done in the US since we colonist are sufferring from a very weak currency. Your "greenlight" might include a vacation in Santa Barbara, California where my "Mr." Laub did mine, here we call him Dr. Laub.

You guys doing it outside of the Nat'l [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> I am prepared to chat privately if any one wants 2 >> Hugh In the UK it costs between £3800 and £5500. From what I've read it costs much more on your side. For us it would probably be cheaper to haveitdone in India. Derek. PS Weak currency :-) On my first trip to America in 1981 we got $2.50 to the £ and just after the war it was nearly five bucks to the pound. And my $ story from Santa Barbara. We went into a convenience store and bought bananas. I paid with a $5 bill. The change was less than it should have been and I queried it. He handed me another two dollars and said "Sorry I thought that you had given me a three" > Hugh, > I take it you are a Brit.
