27years Old Model Unable To Urinate For More Than 2-years. by Bharekta: 8:40pm On Mar 15, 2018

27-year-old Leanne Ward , from
Aberdare, South Wales has revealed
how a bizarre condition has left her
unable to urinate for
more than two years The former Miss
Cornwall is battling Fowler’s
syndrome.
Ever since then, it was reported that
Miss Ward has been unable to go the
toilet. Instead, she has been fitted with
a catheter to help her pass urine out.
Speaking about her ordeal, the former
Miss Cornwall said:
‘All this has had a huge impact on
my life. I just want to be able to use
the loo.’
On the time she discovered the cause of
her problem, she said:
‘I felt so relieved to have a reason
for everything. ‘It was good to have
answers. It was amazing. It wasn’t
nice to have Fowler’s syndrome ,
but to have a direction as to where
to go next was good.’
In January 2016, she had Botox, a
cosmetic procedure to help her reduce
wrinkles at the University Hospital of
Wales in Cardiff.
Instead of being injected with the toxin
in her face, she received it in her
urethral
sphincters, the two muscles controlling
the exit of urine.
The procedure made her urethral
sphincter relaxed, allowing her to pass
water naturally.
Speaking about the procedure, she said:
‘It was brilliant. For three months –
the best three months I’ve had since
2015 – I could wee. It was supposed
to last for nine months but, even
though it only lasted for three, it
was really liberating.’
Although, the former Miss Cornwall
has been warned that she must not
undergo again because its effects were
short-lasting. Miss Ward, who’s now
fitted with a suprapubic catheter
through her a dominance wall that
subjects her to daily pain, caused by
the tube, which she has Nicknamed
‘Percy’ is sad that she can’t have the
cosmetic procedure again. She said:
‘It was so disappointing to learn I
wasn’t having any more. You have
to laugh about it. Percy is the bane
of my life, I HATE him, he is my
worst enemy.’ Miss Ward
continued: ‘It also really hurt
whether my bladder is full or
empty. It’s terrible. I take morphine
for the pain and long for the day I
can use the toilet normally.’People
don’t know that Fowler’s Syndrome
is a thing. But it is – and it’s
serious. It’s so rare that often when
I’ve visited the doctor’s or the
hospital, people haven’t heard of it.
But it’s an extremely difficult thing
to live with.’

The former model also suffers regularly
with kidney and bladder infections and
is prone to urinary tract infections.
She’s expected to have to have a
Mitrofanoff procedure at the Royal
Gwent Hospital, Newport , this
summer.
