I have to decide between a neobladder and a urostomy. I want to know what it's like to have a neobladder from a female viewpoint. My urology nurse could out me in touch with men who have one but not a woman. Any members have a neobladder?

  • Hi and welcome to the group. I cannot help with your question, but just to let you know we do have ladies here with a neo and I am sure will be along to help when they pick your post up. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • Yes, I'm female with neo. You do have to be prepared for initial incontinence during the training period & there is a significant risk of needing to self catheterise to fully empty. I do this, but don't regard it as a problem. The aspect I dislike most is having to get up every night to empty. But overall I am very happy with mine - now 9 years old. 

    Do you have any specific queries?
