My son (26) had a serious accident. He was catheterized in the intensive care unit. However, some of it is behind when urinating. The doctor determined this condition with a neurogenic bladder. Dysthymia. Is there any hope that these ailments will resolve themselves? The son takes very expensive drugs (vesicare). 18 months have passed since the injury.
It is difficult to determine whether the symptoms will improve with little information. Following an injury to the nervous system, a neurogenic bladder may develop as a symptom of this damage. Why was my son given the anticholinergic drug Vesicare, was there a urodynamic test performed? If symptomatic treatment with an anticholinergic drug (Vesicare) is started without a bladder test, this may result in the development of urinary retention and even urinary retention.
