Dejected.
TLDR: finally took the jump to see a urologist and feel worse than ever. Not sure if it’s worth finding help anymore.
M30, have dealt with what I suspect is OAB forever in addition to bedwetting and swallowed my pride and saw a urologist for help. The issues have been going on for years so I made an appointment really hoping to come out of this with a game plan to address the urgency during the day and issues at night.
I am at the point where I don’t feel comfortable without some sort of protection so I wore a brief like usual to the appointment. Instead of asking questions all I got were comments about how I was too old to wear a diaper and how this isn’t normal.
Yes, I am well aware that people my age don’t normally deal with this. Instead of asking questions or trying to understand my issues I was told to go to the bathroom more and stop eating sugar. I’m pretty in shape as-is and think my diet is pretty clean so I didn’t feel great.
Their only feedback was to let him know if I kept having issues later in the year and maybe then they’ll consider more tests. Is this normal? I was really hoping to get help but this isn’t at all what I expected.
