Has anyone had a urethral bulking injection?

Posted by trishdub @trishdub, 3 days ago

I have a prolapsed bladder and am trying my second pessary as the first one was not helpful. If this one doesn't help either, I am wondering about having an injection to bulk up my urethra so that I will not leak so easily.
Anyone tried this?

I had that done years ago at age 50. It worked great for years. Now I'm 71 and having leakage. My urologist now has me doing vegus nerve stimulation. Non-invasive, works great. You DO have to go thru multiple appointments for it to work.

Thank you for this. I'm 69 so maybe the injection would see me through to the end. 🙂
I'll have to ask my Dr about the vegus nerve stimulation.
