I also had this disease as a kid. I had that procedure every other year and it was so painful and humiliating. I still haven't had sex because of it. I'm in my 30's. It's something I'm working on but I don't know how to explain it to others. It felt like an assault even though it wasn't intended that way. Thank you for sharing this because I never knew anyone else with this problem.Hello @mumfie welcome to the forum.

I've just found this forum today and I feel a kinship with the people who's posts I've read. Like you I had a lot of different things inserted below without my consent. I was younger, it happened between birth and 9 years old, but they had to hold me down for some of the procedures and I would leave the hospital stunned. I know now it was a dissociative state. I came away from these experiences with my life and everyone was happy Except me. I don't think it occurred to anyone in my life that I had been humiliated. I developed anxiety, depression and rage as well as learning disorders and adhd. I lost connection with my body and just lived in a dreamland. I was an adult before I got help. Let me assure you that you can feel better and gain an appreciation for your body again. Thank you for sharing and reading.I had a severe infection that caused a lot of organ damage and nearly cost my life. I have chronic disease now f...
Hi, I hope you get my response to your post! You're post hit my heart! Your post was the first one I read on this site. I am a lifetime urology patient who has reflux of my ureter also. I have had the VCUG procedure done four times now. I began this journey as a toddler. I had my first ureter re-implant surgery done at age four. My experiences have been a nightmare! Medical staff fought with me, held me down, forced so many catheters, tubes etc....into me, taped catheter drainage bags to my thighs & made me walk around with them, having to urinate in front of several people....it goes on and on and on. I am in my fifties now and had my last VCUG surgery a couple of years ago. This surgery was also a complete nightmare! I could go on and on. My experiences with the medical professionals have been horrific. I feel like a little girl trapped in an older body due to my horrible experiences. I have not sought therapy. I have always tried to tell myself I am exaggerating my experiences. The trauma I have endured throughout my life medically has literally crippled me. I am in tears writing this. I so appreciate your post. You have reassured me I am not going crazy! Following my latest horrific hospital experience after VCUG surgery, I was diagnosed with trauma induced bi-polar syndrome. I don't know what to think about this diagnosis, honestly. I question it. I'm sorry, I am venting after reading your post. I so feel for all of these little ones who are having to go through all of this trauma due to medical treatment. Thank you for your post.Hello @mumfie welcome to the forum.
As a child I has kidney reflux from age 6-8. I had to have several vcugs that always becomes horrific. I would have to have catheter inserted which it burns like hell. I would have to have 2-3 people hold me down because I would fight while screeming and crying. Soon they would fill my bladder till it hurts. I would have to pee in front of everyone in the room. As a kid I would re act it and have problems with females in authority. Soon it kept getting more and more severe. I did not get diagnosed till the peek of PTSD. Currently I'm in and out of therapy. It's also hard to go to the doctor and I avoid hospitals as much as possible. The smell of clinics make me vomit
