Guest guest Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Hi I was wondering if anyone on here has had bladder augmention and if you still have UTI's since you had the augmention. Right now I have been tracking a constant infection for 2 and half years. Nothing seems to work to get rid of it. My bladder does not empty so I have to cath 4 times a day and I am getting bladder botox injections to help with the refluex. I don't feel like the botox is helping so the last time I went to the dr he brought up the bladder augmention again. I recently had my left kidney removing and I thought that would get rid of the infections but no such luck. The dr told me that if I had this surgery then I would not be able to void on my own. My thinking on this is that I will still be keeping the infections and won't be gaining anything but more medical bills. I was wondering if anyone has any input on this matter as to if it has helped them and if they have constant infections after having it done. thanks, Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 How high are your bladder pressures? Does anyone know what pressure is considered dangerous to kidneys? > > Hi I was wondering if anyone on here has had bladder augmention and if you still have UTI's since you had the augmention. > Right now I have been tracking a constant infection for 2 and half years.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I can't remember what they said mine was. I don't know the unsafe point but would like to know myself. I only have one kidney left.
