I suffered with stress incontinence a couple of years after having my 4th child. I had the mesh sling surgery which helped for a few years. Now, I suffer with urge incontinence which is pretty severe at times and affects my confidence and daily living. I’m 47 and am very active and in fairly decent physical shape. I feel like I’m too young to be experiencing this. Early last year, I went to a urologist and tried meds which had terrible side affects so I then tried Botox injections in my bladder. That wasn’t much better. It worked for about 3 months but I had to cath myself for 2 weeks following the Botox to be able to empty my bladder completely. That was uncomfortable and caused bladder spasms. I heard about and researched the O shot and the providers. On September 22, 2017 I had my first O shot. I also had a vampire breast lift and facelift~I figured I would just get the works. I drove 3 hours to Montgomery, AL from the Gulf Coast area to Dr Ryan McWhorter. Dr. McWhorter was wonderful. He was so concerned and attentive to my needs. He made me feel completely comfortable and at ease because this was slightly embarrassing to me. The O shot was a little uncomfortable but the pain was short lived. My over-active bladder symptoms subsided for a brief time but what I didn’t realize was just how low my sex drive had been prior to the shot. I am over-the-moon now about how well the O shot helped me in an area I didn’t realize just how badly I suffered with: lubrication and increased desire. I no longer have to use synthetic lubrication! Vaginal dryness throughout intercourse is no longer an issue. I had a second O shot with amnion December 20, 2018 to see if that would help with my incontinence. Again, it seemed to help initially but I guess I’m just one of those challenging cases. Vaginal lubrication and sexual desire is still going strong. I am currently discussing having a third Oshot from Dr McWhorter. He is working really hard to find a nonsurgial option. I am confidant that he will find the perfect solution for me. I can’t thank Dr McWhorter enough for all he has done and continues to do for me. I highly recommend him to any and everyone. He is definitely worth the drive no matter how far away from Montgomery, AL you live.

My second O shot was actually December 20, 2017 not 2018! Still working great and still very much worth it!
