My dad is 76. Previously a completely healthy man. He had a procedure called prostatic artery embolization about a year ago. Was supposed to be a simple procedure. However, I believe there were errors made and now a year later, he has a “dead bladder” as well. He has to use nephrostomy tubes. Very uncomfortable and obviously inconvenient to not be able to live life how he had just 1 year ago. It has definitely taken a toll on his mental health as well. Anybody else dealing with this? Does anybody know of other solutions for a dead bladder? Besides the invasive surgery which he has decided against.
