I had a urology appointment yesterday for my OAB and since my medication therapies don't seem to be helping much my doctor offered some different procedures as options to try. I was a bit blindsided as I didn't realize my issues were this bad to justify such an intervention, I was wondering what some other users here experiences with these therapies were. Did they help? Were there any downsides or complications?
The risk of retention with Botox scares me a little so I instantly want to avoid that one. Part of me wants to say screw it and just manage with diapers and lifestyle changes, but I wonder what life would be like without this constant need to go all the time. I told my doctor I wanted to try some lifestyle changes (quitting smoking and losing more weight) to see if they help and to buy myself time to think about it. Both of these seem like big changes and they are scary to think about.
Thanks for any insight!
