Pelvic floor hypertonic sexual dysfunction, which includes urethral sphincter spasm, anal sphincter spasm, pelvic floor pain, reverse ejaculation and other disorders, has a variety of clinical manifestations, mainly in urination, defecation, and sexual function. The clinical manifestations include: straining to urinate and defecate, incomplete sensation of urination and defecation, intractable frequency of urination, constipation, even urinary retention, and impairment of renal function. In sexual function, it often manifests as reverse ejaculation and infertility. Objective examinations often show normal, and specialized imaging dynamics and pelvic floor electrophysiological examinations are required for correct diagnosis, making diagnosis and treatment relatively difficult. A large number of patients with these functional disorders are misdiagnosed and mistreated, resulting in an increased burden on families and society. Currently, our urological control team, led by Director Zhang Peng, has successfully treated a large number of patients with the latest technology in the world for functional urological disorders. The advanced method of bladder pacemaker has cured the old and persistent diseases of these patients and greatly improved their quality of life. The following is the introduction of a patient’s experience in seeing a doctor, hoping to provide the majority of patients with ideas to see a doctor and take less detours.
I am a patient in Shandong, 35 years old, frequent urination for more than 10 years, mainly during the day, the night is fine, only once night urination, the number of times to the toilet during the day reached more than 20 times, the feeling of wanting to urinate after urination is very serious. On average, I go to the toilet once every half hour, and my stomach is always rising, accompanied by a feeling of swelling in the perineum, waiting for urine, and not being able to finish urinating, which is really a miserable feeling. The first few years, the diagnosis of prostatitis was made in the major hospitals in Shandong Province, and the drugs started to be taken, such as Weixikang, Kodowa, Ningutai. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of money from the internet. I’ve been doing bladder irrigation and heat therapy, but my symptoms are still not improving at all. In the end of 2013, I had no choice but to go to Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and find Professor Zhang Peng for an imaging urodynamic examination, which showed that my disease was not a prostate problem at all, but a disease called “urethral sphincter spasm”, and after the examination Professor Zhang suggested that I have a bladder pacemaker. The procedure was simple and went well, and I was able to get out of bed and eat on the same day. I was able to get out of bed and eat on the same day after the procedure. I went straight back to the hotel to rest after Director Zhang finished adjusting my test data! During the experience, Prof. Zhang adjusted my data twice, and my annoying symptoms improved significantly as the test time was extended. Interestingly, by the third week of the test I accidentally dropped the connection cable, and then the frequent urination came back, which lasted for 3 days. When I called Prof. Zhang, he explained to me that this is a good thing for you, which means that the pacemaker has a great effect on you, and your unexpected shutdown led to a recurrence of symptoms which means that this therapy is essential for you. After careful consideration, I had a Phase II permanent implant on September 17.
At present, Zhang Peng, the director, is following the second generation of bladder pacemakers, which are thin and small, buried under the skin, so you can’t feel anything implanted inside without touching it. On the same day, a Guangzhou lady also did a test, and according to her, the test result was better than mine! Now I have to urinate about 13 times a day, which is almost 8 times less than I did before. Professor Zhang said that nerve conditioning is a gradual process, and it takes a conditioning process for such a long history of illness. Now, except for the numbness in the wound, everything else is fine and my life is basically unaffected! My wife said my spirit is much better than before, at least my quality of life has improved significantly, there is a disease can be cured is a very happy thing, this is my experience, I hope that those patients who have the same experience as me, first of all, a clear diagnosis, and then the right treatment, although this treatment is more expensive, but the efficacy is very good, do not take so many detours like I did.
