TITLE: When a painful error leads to positive and unexected results
BACKGROUND: I was doing the prep-work for a dinner tonight (which I will not attend, for reasons discussed below). The prep-work included the cleaning, seeding and dicing of two jalepeno chilis. Upon completion, I washed my hands thoroughly. METHODOLOGY: I had to use the restroom, which requires my use of a catheter,..., and you can imagine what happened (and how my urethral nerves are reacting right now  ). The Silver-Lining in this story is that with a little research, it became clear that there have been peer-reviewd medical studies on this very issue as it relates to people who suffer from neurogenic bladder (urinary control issues). And the data from these studies indicate a significant reduction in the need to urinate (times per day) and an increase in bladder retention. RESULTS: Urologists have concluded that Capsaicin (the chemical in chilis that makes them hot) can have a positive impact on urological incontinance. DISCUSSION: Hard to believe,..., but it is true. Ouch, now I will just wait for the impact to fade.  LOL LITERATURE REVIEWED: Just Google these words to read the studies: capsaicin urethra catheter -Vic |
