Had cystocele (bladder prolapse) repair a year ago. Continued bladder issues & found a new uro gyn doctor. On colposcopy he found bladder was still prolapsed (less than one yr post surgery!), had repeat bladder lift surgery & new dr also found interstitial cystitis. Dr Winkler's office staff only uses small disposable clip catheters for urine specimens (no choice of cups) which were painfully attached by his office staff on each testing & follow up visit. I feel that repeated use of the clip catheters contributed to my IC and would not recommend Dr Winkler office
