Women can have a few internal problems that might make a Supre-public cath a
problem. Dropped bladder, dropped uterus, Sounds like some women just come
apart inside. If you see some women that have had lots ofchildren and their
kidneys are just below their C-7 vertebra...well, you get the picture. Bladder
augmentation would be slowly stretching your bladder so it would hold more
urine. This can help reduce the risk of autonomic disreflexia in some paralyzed
people. It is important that you be a great judge of how much your bladder is
holding as residual.
A Urologist can be a fountain of knowledge...metaphorically speaking.
All my prayers and best wishes,

Wheelchair,
What will make someone unable to accept SP? What is the
difference between bladder augmentation and SP? I have an appointment with
my urologists in February. I guess he will explain all this to me.
I'd just like to get input from those who have experience with SP, which will
help with my decision.
