urodynamics question

[Guest guest]

My daughter (25) had a urodynamics test. she was told he retained 100cc of

urine. Not horrible, but not emptying her bladder completely. She changed

urologists as

the first one decided to ignore the kidney stone issue she was having. The new

urologist

did an ultrasound and said she is only retaining 40cc of urine and she has a

larger

capacity bladder than most people. He acted like that was a good thing, but i

have since

read that larger bladders can be indicative of issues. SHe has urine retention

issues and

now seems to have occassional leaking, as her underwear is wet at times and

there seems

to be no other explanation...the obvious other reasons for wetness are not the

case.. All of

this is very embarrassing for a 25 year old, recently married young woman, so I

am asking

the questions she I doubt she wants to " go there " . Is it odd to get two

different retention

amounts from these two tests? He made it seem like the ultrasound overruled what

the

urodynamics test said, and if that is the case why even bother doing the

urodynamics.

Should the news of having a larger than normal bladder be good news or is it

worrisome?

It seems no matter what test she has we get more conflicting information. She

was

diagnosed with a tight filum tethered cord at The Chiari Institute in September.

Dr. B

wanted her to get her kidney issues straightened out, but both urologists seem

content to

let her kidney stone stay in there. According to the ultrasound there is no

hydronephrosis

of the right kidney like her renal scan showed. Once again, this ultrasound

seems to be

the wonder test ruling out all sorts of diagnosis given by the more invasive

expensive

tests. Sorry to sound so sarcastic, just very frustrated here. I would

appreciate any ideas or

input.
