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.
