Ultrasound of Prostate & Bladder
Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2010 6:54 pm
I am glad I am much improved with my paruresis.
Today I had to have tests on my urethra, prostate, kidneys & bladder . This involved drinking 1 litre of water 1 1/2 hrs before so that my bladder would be full. This brought back all sorts of memories from AP Workshops !!
Anyway before the ultrasound was done I spoke to the receptionist and the ultrasound guy and gave them both a copy of the Good Web Article ( my last post on this chat page.)
When I got into the ultrasound room, the fellow said that he had similar problems with shy bladder, so I was able to share with him briefly some of my experiences and the recovery process. After the first ultrasound, he sent me to the toilet to fully empty out my bladder, and then return for further scans etc... In the past I would have been struggling to be able to start to empty out, but not anymore!! Thanks to all the hard work I have been putting in over the last 4 years or so, and all the support from fellow sufferers.
I hope other AP sufferers can make use of this article to 'get the word' out to other medical staff.
Now all I have to do is wait for my results !!! Looks like my kidney stones have grown bigger !!!
