HI MEGAN, TO MY KNOWLEDGE ALL THE DOCTER DID WAS FREEZE ME, THEN
PROCEEDED TO USE ABOUT FOUR DIFFERENT THINGS TO STRETCH THE URETHRA AND
HE TOLD ME HE WAS USING A CURRENT OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT TO
STIMULATE THE MUSCLES?BEFORE HE STARTED HE TOLD ME THAT ENDO DOES NOT
EFFECT THE BLADDER AND WOULD NOT LISTEN TO ME OR ANSWER MY QUESTIONS ,
SO I WAS VERY FRUSTERATED AND AS BAD AS IT SOUNDS I REALLY AM NOT TO
SURE OF WHAT EXACTLY HE DID.IT WAS ABOUT A 10 MINUTE PROCEDURE WHICH HE
CLAIMED WOULD CURE ALL MY TROUBLES.WHAT IS HYDRODISTENSION?
