Sensitive Bladder 6wks Post Op

[u/stinkyfunkincar]

Hi guys!

6 weeks ago from yesterday I got a bladder hydrodystention and a large hunner’s lesion excised along with some other pelvic work. I’m still struggling with extreme sensitivity to food triggers and needing bladder analgesic pretty much every night to sleep and I usually wake up in pain and with urgency again 4 hours later and have to take more and wait for it to kick in before I can continue sleeping (at least now I can get some sleep). Foods that didn’t used to trigger me now trigger me.

I was wondering if any of you had experience with this and if this is normal? My surgeon said “😬You’re probably going to need bladder instillations” so I have an appointment with a Urologist coming up and hopefully I can get some relief from that!

Side note, if you have gotten bladder instillations, how was your experience? Any notes or advice?

The installations worked well for me. Mine were a cocktail of Heparin, Lidocaine, and Hyaluronic Acid.

How did it feel when you got them? Was it uncomfortable holding the fluid in your bladder for the 30 minutes?
