A member asked:
I am 24 years old, my nerve damaged due to cauda equina syndrome, did surgery but still bladder not emptying. will my bladder get its function back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a urologist: Hard to predict eventual outcomes, as nerve-bladder function is quite sensitive. However, urodynamic studies might provide insight as to the status of recovering nerve fibres. Also, there are meds available to assist urinary function. Possible that you may improve over a few months as healing proceeds.
