My brother got operated for spinal bifida at the age of 6 months. Now he is 18 years old and facing urine problems. He recently got operated for spinal surgery last month and is still using Self Catheter to pass his urine. I wanted to know what's his long-term situation. When will he be able to pass his urine like normal people? Please answer.
