Hi ladies!
So this is a bit of an embarrassing subject for me which I very seldom discuss but basically a few years back I was diagnosed with cancer of the bladder, I was very lucky in that they caught it early enough to do a simple operation to remove the growth and I had one session of chemo and I was fine. BUT I now go to yearly check ups where I have a camera inserted into my bladder through my urethra which gets increasingly more painful every time, and I have started to bleed and have great discomfort for quite some days after, I am convinced I have some sort of scar tissue from the frequent check ups, as it has left me with a noticeably lack of bladder control and sensitivity.
I can hold my wee, but I need to wee very frequently, and if I have had a drink it goes straight through me. I also have had a bit of wee come out when I am laughing or doing something strenuous, I used to throw up quite a bit because I had very bad heartburn (I have since learned to control it with medication) but almost every time I heaved to be sick I would wee a little until it was running down my leg and I would have to change my underwear.
Yesterday I was trying to do some exercises with fh and I was doing star jumps and straight away I could feel like I was going to wet myself, it really is embarrassing and I dread to think the state of my bladder during/after pregnancy, can someone please give me any advice or success stories about doing kegal exercises to get back control of your bladder? And also direct me to any exercises that worked for you?
Thanks!
