Erika - I'm actually starting PT for my bladder in a couple of weeks. My urologist basically said the same thing. He said they found that doing PT can be as effective as medication and/or surgery. Since I don't want to go either of those routes at this point, I'm doing the PT. I'm sure it involves pelvic floor exercises. I'll let you know.

I am a retainer and luckily have only had 1 UTI in my life. I have been very lucky in that regard. UTI's can be so sneaky and tricky. I honestly did not know I had one. Being a retainer has that risk of UTI's associated with it. When he did the testing this time, about a month or so ago, I'm now retaining about 200 ml. Based on that we know the retention is getting worse and I'm in hopes that the PT will help with all of it.

Good luck!
