According to The Mirror and other foreign media, Tia Castle, a 31-year-old woman living in Glasgow, Scotland, was unable to use the bathroom for several days as her stomach swelled to the point of discomfort.
In 2016, he was diagnosed with sepsis in the urinary tract after being tested at a hospital due to severe pain. There were as many as two liters of urine left in her body.
I had to go to the bathroom manually every day using a catheter (medical conduit) for 9 months due to concerns about worsening infection. Since then, she has suffered a rare condition, 'Fowler's Syndrome', and has been unable to urinate naturally for eight years.
Fowler's syndrome is a disease in which urine is not discharged normally because the urethral sphincter, which controls urine discharge from the bladder, is not relaxed.
Urine is filled in the bladder, but it remains in a state that has not been discharged. It is known that two out of every one million women appear.
She was in extreme pain, "but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't go to the bathroom. I tried to drink a lot of water, but it didn't work"I haven't shed a drop of urine naturally in the past eight years. I found my life at regular risk because of this."
Prior to this, she suffered several urinary tract and kidney infections as a child and even had her right kidney removed. She also frequently experienced bladder sensory loss and strong bladder spasms.
Eventually, Tia completely removed her bladder in 2022 and had a bowel (yo) fistula.
She is grateful for the fact that there is "no bladder and one dysfunctional kidney is alive."I want to give courage to others suffering from Fowler's syndrome."," he said.
"There are so many people in the world who are struggling that I would be happy if even one person could help. And a man with a gut must not be ashamed"Helping others is the only reason I'm still alive today," he said.
