Acupuncture Information Dec 26, 2023 | By Megan Roessler M. Ed. (@meganroessler)Comment receiving replies
I am researching acupuncture because my urogynecologist is going to try it once a week for 10 weeks , hoping it will help my uncontrollable bladder. I have had this for 5 years now. Before that I had bladder cancer. The doctor found it and took it out the next week. I have not had any other problems except incontinence, total incontinence.
It is good to learn more about this treatment.

Welcome, @tater. You might find some helpful comments in this related discussion:

I'll be interested to hear how acupuncture works for you. Did you only have surgery for bladder cancer?

Good luck. It never worked for me for my back or headaches. What about an off-label anti-seizure medication or an anti-anxiety medication? Has your doctor ever suggested those.
