  • what did you say at 2:56 "that where i get bowl something bladder"? just curious

  • @princessshortie29

    I was talking about mucus and explained that where I've got an augmented bladder (bowel to bladder) this produces more mucus. So bladder wash outs have to be done.

  • hi

  • @baltr100

    Hey :)

  • Also i notice that you do not have Instacaths you use the one that you have to lub yoruself, is there any reason for this or just a prefference?

  • @Dante2871

    It's just personal preference.

    But if you are going to leave catheters in for any reason it's best to use non-lubricated, as this is what we are recommended by University College London Hospital.

  • thank you for posting this:) I also have a mitroffonoff and keep getting questions about it :)

  • @rkfg

    5 kidneys WOW, that's one I've not heard of before :)

    So do you have a Mitrofanoff on the side of your abdomen?

  • @MitrofanoffSupport Yes i do. I cath there just about everyday. Had it for about a year and a halk. Its a major life changer.

  • I was born with Bladder extrophy -epispadias....but fortunatly I don't use the mitrofanoff but I know many friends as me that use the mitrofanoff...

  • @allievo1

    Sorry I've not replied to you sooner :(

    Well tell any of your friends to get in touch, it would be great to hear from them :)

    Hope your ok!!

  • I was born with spina bifida and had to get a mitrofanoff as my bladder shriveled up i had it since i was 6 or 7 and i'm now 21 so i'm pretty used to it but unfortunately it didn't work fully and i suffered leaking so i had to go in for corrective surgery which still didnt work so i guess i'm just going to get used to living with a stoma bag.

  • @jorgc

    I'm so sorry I haven't replied soon :(

    How are you doing? Are you / have you had the Urostomy done?

  • @MitrofanoffSupport I haven't had anymore surgery since they tried the corrective surgery a few years ago and i don't think i'm going to try again so i'm just going to live usng a bag for any leaking

  • @jorgc

    It's good to hear from you :)

    What a pain :( Is it through your choice of not having anymore surgery or the Urologist?

  • @MitrofanoffSupport yeah through my choice of not having anymore surgery since i've gone through alot for the mitrofanoff and other operations.

  • ska543

    I hope all goes well for your friend. Tell him / her to get if touch with me if they like :)

  • A friend of mine is planning on having this done soon and I strongly pray it goes smoothly!

  • I might be getting this procedure in near future. I just want to know if it hurts to insert the tube. Also, does it hurt when you sit normallyor something rub against your stomach?

  • I am glad you found it helpful, no problem.

  • I'm thnking of getting this done. I'm in a wheelchair and find transferring and pulling my trousers up and down really difficult. That's a really helpful video! Thanks!

  • why did you have to get a mitrofanoff?

  • @wheelchairdiaperboy

    I was born with a very wide and short urethra along with an extremely small bladder. My ureters had multiple coIlection systems, and I also have two uterus with two sets of cervixs, and was born with a double vagina which has been removed. I have done my own case study on the website on the "About Me" page if you want to read more.
