Hi @suzanbaltaji and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. My heart goes out to you and your son.

Here is some information from Mayo about Neurogenic bladder and bowel management: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/neurogenic-bladder-bowel-management/about/pac-20394763

I also thought you might want to read this article about it.
Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction in Patients with Neurogenic Bladder: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5510247/

I would like to invite @jenniferhunter to the conversation to get her input on what is going on with your son

Have you discussed electrical stimulation with his doctor?

@amandaburnett Hi Amanda,

Thank you so much for the articles related to the neurogenic bladder and bowel dysfunction you shared with me. We tried every technique but since my son is still in denial, 3 years after the accident, he can’t stick to a bowel schedule. He tries to do it at least once a day but he’s not patient about it. I was hoping to find some technique like bladder stimulation to ease his struggles.
Thank you again for all your effort. This idea to connect families dealing with similar issues is very valuable. I wish there was a national database registry to recruit patients with SCi.
Thanks again!!
