Had cauda equina, had surgery 4 month before, bladder function didn't came back, urodynamics shows nerve problem. will function be back.i am only 24 yrs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncertain,it depends: Prospects for recovery depend on the duration and magnitude of the dysfunction prior to corrective action. It also depends on the completeness of the decompression. It may take up to a year or more to find out if the bladder functional loss was reversible.
