    can they cut the nerves to the urethra?

    can they cut the nerves to the urethra without haveing your bladder removed? I saw that KAra said they cut the nerves to her urethra and I was wondering if they could do it without the bladder removal or would that make you be incontent the whole rest of your life?

    I don't know, but I have been wondering this too! I am hoping it is possible. I'm seeing my doctor on Monday and I'm going to ask but I'm afraid she's going to automatically say that's impossible. But maybe it's only a really specialized skill. I don't really understand how they can do it though without losing continence. And how come they don't just do it more often? Well maybe someone else will know...

      I am moving this up in hopes that someone else sees it who might have experience with this.

        Traci,

        I don't think they can cut the nerves to the urethra while you still want to use your bladder. You could become incontinent but I take Ditropan for that now. This is an excellent question for a great IC surgeon. When I see my new uro next week I will ask him for you!

        Take Care,

            There was one of the girls who use to post and she had the nerve cut that sends the pain message to the brain and she was completely thrilled. She was even able to go back to work.

            Hugs to ALL~

                Re: can they cut the nerves to the urethra?

                I'm praying you still post here or visit these threads. My urethra is a Jack a** miserable that thing makes me. Burning 24/7 and I just don't know what steps to take next with my urogynecologist.

                Hugs,
                Ash

                  Is it possible to cut the nerves to the urethra? Did anyone find an answer yet?
