Dear Karen,

I'm not a parent or a doctor but I HAVE A GUESS at what the scar might be. Is the scar horizontal and just above the line of your pubic hair ? If it is, I have a good guess at what it is from.The procedure that was done is called a cystotomy. After another surgery that you had, more than likely for what ever reason you were not able to pass urine through your urethra. While that problem was being investigated they had to do another procedure where the surgeon opens up the area just above the pubic hairline and secure a tube to your bladder that will allow you to pass urine through it that goes to an outside bag that the nurses empty for you. When you were able to pass urine through your urethra, the doctors went in and remove the tube that they attached to your bladder and they stiched up the outside area. .

Again, this is all a guess on my part. You might want to try and write for your medical records if you know the name of the hospital where the surgery took place.

I hope this is of some help. You have stated in other posts that you go see a therapist ? Perhaps, he could help you in obtaining your records and he would be there to help you deal with what the records say.
