I am a 30 years old married man. I was absolutely normal just 3 and half years ago when I started having bladder symptoms which I initially ignored due to lack of awareness. Unfortunately I was diagnosed as a patient of Underactive Bladder 2 years ago by my urologist after undergoing several tests such as Urodynamics, MRI, Blood work etc. My MRI and blood reports were normal but Urodynamics confirmed me as a UAB patient. I am currently on treatment of Alfuzocin and Bethanocol, and also trying some homeopathic treatment.

Inspite of all these medications, I am still suffering from bladder underactivity and quality of life is really compromised. When I think of future I really get worried as I am not only a husband but soon going to be father too. However, I strongly believe that my bladder problems can improve and may be cured as I am still young and have no history of accidents or trauma . I am neither diabetic nor hypertensive and I highly believe this condition can be treated well provided enough medical and research attention.

I also would like the patients of UAB to have communication with each other which may provide social and emotional support to patients knowing that there are other people suffering from the same problem.

If my story can help your website and through your website the rest of world patients, I will feel proud of myself that at least I have done minor contribution to fight against UAB. In fact if there are more young patients, they may also open up and share too after they learn about my condition.

In fact I will keep updating my experiences through your website as sometimes my conditions are worse and sometimes they improve. I am analyzing these days all my activities and diet which may relate to the improvement in disorder and which other patients can try and may help them too.

I must congratulate your team working on this cause, and all my best wishes are with you to come out with flying colors. I will feel proud if I can be a part of your noble vision.
