Neurogenic Bladder Treatment in India

Sara Khan, a 42-year-old high school biology teacher and mother of two, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis five years ago. Over the last 18 months, she began experiencing increasing urinary urgency, frequent accidents on her way to the bathroom, and recurring urinary tract infections that disrupted her work and family life. She felt a profound loss of control and dignity, often rushing out of her classroom. Her urologist, Dr. Evans, diagnosed her with neurogenic bladder due to MS and recommended a trial of clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) to completely empty her bladder and prevent infections. Sara was initially terrified and embarrassed by the idea. With the help of a specialist nurse, she learned the technique in a supportive, private setting. After a few weeks of practice, it became a quick, manageable part of her routine. Post-procedure, her UTI frequency dropped dramatically, and she regained her confidence and sense of control. She no longer plans her day around bathroom locations. Emotionally, she moved from feeling broken and ashamed to empowered and proactive. Managing this aspect of her MS has given her a renewed sense of resilience and allowed her to focus her energy on her family and students.
