Penile pain relief

6 Replies

My husband was diagnosed with UAB in February. This has left him with chronic, and sometimes severe, pain in his penis. Are there others out there that have had the same experience and, if so, what was done to resolve it. So far NOTHING has given him any relief. He is currently battling depression and hopelessness. He is sedentary as it hurts to move or do anything. Looking for resources for advice and counsel.

What is UAB? I tried searching, but all I find in U of Alabama.

What procedures and treatment has your husband had? What has the urologist said?

UAB is the acronym for Underactive Bladder.

Thank you - I was given medicine for Overactive bladder after my incontinence did not improve to a great extent. Going on Solifenacin helped reduced my leakage from 30 ounces a day down to 20 ounces a day.

There is a foundation in the US for UnderActive Bladder (UAB). I would definitely contact them. underactivebladder.org/
