David Smith, a 58-year-old construction foreman...
David Smith, a 58-year-old construction foreman and father of three, had always been active. For over a year, he'd been plagued by recurring, painful urinary tract infections, frequent urgency, and a persistent feeling of not fully emptying his bladder. He'd often excuse himself from job sites, embarrassed. After multiple rounds of antibiotics provided only temporary relief, a CT urogram revealed a large bladder diverticulum, a pouch in his bladder wall, that was trapping urine and causing the infections. His urologist, Dr. Evans, explained that a laparoscopic diverticulectomy was the best long-term solution to remove the pouch and restore normal bladder function. David was anxious about surgery and taking time off work. The procedure went smoothly; the small incisions meant minimal visible scarring, which he appreciated. After a short hospital stay, he managed discomfort with medication and was diligent with his recovery walks. Within six weeks, he was back on light duty. The constant UTI symptoms were gone. Emotionally, he moved from frustration and embarrassment about his condition to immense relief and regained confidence, no longer worrying about where the nearest bathroom was.
