Was given oxybutynin (ditropan XL) by Mayo.... worked for me.

Thank you for response d to my post. How long you had to take oxybutynin?

It seemed to stop the spasms right away and they didn't come back ... so not long at all. So sorry you have this so painful, hard to forget that, but hopefully you get relief from one of the medications. They made it seem like no big deal, it is a big deal and debilitating.

I recently experienced them after a catheter removal post robotic removal of prostate. They prescribed oxybutynin. It helped after a couple of days. Very painful and pain meds could not relieve it.

I used Trospium for about a year while I was using a catheter, naples2021

It worked very well for keeping bladder spasms under control.

I was finally able to have a TURP to get rid to the catheter this past October.

Life is much better without the catheter.

I am so glad that TURP helped .
