Repeated urine infections

Does anyone know if AMN gives urine infection keep getting them going to have camera tests to see what is going on

It's not the disease of AMN that is giving you urine infections, it's because you are probably not properly emptying your bladder. I have been through this whole business a lot. I was retaining 100 - 200 ml of urine. This causes bad bacteria to multiply which causes the infection. The solution may be to do intermittent catheterisation which lets you empty the bladder properly. I have been doing it for the last year or so. This may be what they recommend for you.

The camera test will tell you a lot about the way the bladder is behaving.

Good luck with these tests.

My urologist did a bladder dynamics test. This basically is filling your bladder with fluid through a catheter than emptying. They check for nerve response for needing to go and they get the strength. They also measure input quantity and output.

The urologist gets a great idea of the ability of the bladder.
