Urology :: Frequent Urination And Bladder Not Emptying

I have frequent urination, and my bladder doesn't empty completely, therefore I feel the need to go right after I went, and sometimes I take a very long time trying to get out what I have in the bladder.

I also have constipation, and strain on the toilet. I also was frequently going to the bathroom for different reasons and I'm stressed out.

I understand these two can play a role in my bladder problems.Is this true? If so, what can I do to heal? Bladder training? Pelvic floor muscle exercises?
Will taking a drug that empties my bladder be helpful in the long term?
Thanks.

Frequent Urination - Weak Bladder That Aches

I am a 43 year old male. I have been experiencing a weak bladder on and off for several years but in the past year the symptoms have got worse. I am going to the toilet every couple of hours or so in the day and at least once in the night. When my bladder gets full it starts to ache and when I wake in the morning my bladder feels full and is aching. I have had blood tests, urine tests, physical examination and an ultrasound. The doctor concluded that he didn't really know what the problem was but said it could be an over active bladder or stress, or a bit of both- nothing to do with my prostate. I don't want to become reliant on prescription medicine - has anyone got any ideas what this could be or alternatives to prescription medicine.

Frequent Urination At Night With Non-emptying Bladder (24 Years Old)

I am posting on behalf of my partner. He is otherwise healthy and 24 years old.

Since mid January he noticed that he was urinating more frequently, particularly at night. He would be getting up 4-5 times a night. He had no other symptoms.

He went to his GP who then referred him to the GUM clinic. They done all the relevant swabs and looked at his urine under a microscope. They said that there was 'something' in the urine but they didn't specify what. They prescribed him with a one week course of doxycycline antibiotics and diagnosed it as non specific urethritis.

His symptoms went when he finished his course of antibiotics. However, a few days after treatment had finished, the frequent urination came back.

He returned to the GUM clinic. They informed him that all his results came back normal (no STIs). They also looked at a new sample of urine under the microscope and said that it looked fine. They then referred him back to his GP.

The GP said that the infection might need stronger antibiotics so prescribed him a two week course of doxycyline. They also performed a blood test which came back all normal with no further action needed.

His symptoms had started to go and he wasn't urinating as frequently, but said that he still felt like he hadn't emptied his bladder properly after he had been to the toilet.
The GP sent him for an ultrasound scan. The doctor performing the scan said his kidneys looked fine.

The results came back yesterday. The GP said that after he had emptied his bladder during the scan there was still 160ml of water left behind meaning that his bladder isn't emptying correctly. He now has to go back for another ultrasound where the scans can be looked at by a specialist bladder department.

Since these results he says he feels like its 'come back' and has needed to urinate frequently again. There is clearly an issue but do you think it's possible that psychology could be worsening the symptoms I.e. When he thinks about it he needs to go more often?

He was diagnosed and successfully treated for an STI infection a few years ago and his GP said that the infection could have left scarring in his urethra which means that it may be limiting how much urine can come out...

Does anyone have any idea would could be causing this? As you can understand his mind has jumped to the worst conclusion (tumours/cancer) - would these show up on an ultrasound? I also suggested that it could be prostate problems but I'm not sure how likely this is because of his age? The doctors haven't performed any examinations on his prostate yet.

It will probably be another 3 weeks+ for the new scan and results and it is starting to have an impact on his quality of life with all the not knowing.

Dull Pain In Rectum? Connection With Pelvic Floor?

Has anyone every experienced dull pain in rectum?

I get it occasionally for absolutely no obvious reason, then it passes, either on its own or I take a painkiller.

Been seen at hospital...all clear...doesn't occur very often but just suddenly happens

Could it possibly have a connection with pelvic floor?

Abdominal Pain :: Pelvic Pain, Frequent Urination, Stomach Pain And Back Pain

I have had issues with a frequent urination and a constant pressure on my bladder for over a year now. But since January of this year I have been experiencing extreme pain in my low low abdomen (like groin/cervix area). The pain also resides in my stomach and back. My ribs are sore to touch and I am constantly achy. I have been to the doctors who have done internal exams and say that everything LOOKS ok. I am 20 years old and my periods are regular. The pain is becoming a real problem and I'm becoming increasingly concerned. I have had ultrasounds on my pelvis and kidneys and they were fine. I've been put on meds to stabilise my bladder, but the gynaecologist won't see me for another 4 months. I know there is something further wrong with me - I can't understand why the pain keeps occurring. I don't enjoy having sex due to pain and a constant discomfort and pressure-like feeling. I'm starting to get very depressed as there is no diagnosis being made and all the tablets I am given do nothing.

Urinary Stress Incontinence - Personal Trainer And No Pelvic Floor Exercise

I suffer from stress incontinence.  I haven't been doing my pelvic floor exercises as much as I should but it's getting a real problem now.  I love exercise, I teach classes and also am training to become a Personal Trainer so really need to get this problem sorted.  I went out for a run yesterday and couldn't stop weeing.  It's getting really embarrassing.  I also have to hold myself before I go to the toilet to avoid wetting myself.  Has anyone else been this bad and have you thought of the surgery? And if so, was it successful?  I'm awaiting a private appointment but it's not until end of April.  Please help!! Any advice would be great.  I'm a woman in her early 40's and had two vaginal deliveries 10 and 8 years ago....

Anxiety :: Bladder Not Emptying Completely / Frequent Restroom Trips

I have been dealing with anxiety my whole life and have had off and issues with emptying my bladder. I will use the restroom and will either feel like i need to go again right after or will experience burning then I know that it didn't completely empty, will go back and be able to go a little more then the burning will fade. I have had this for a long time and wonder if I could have possibly been born with a minor abnormality causing it or the chronic anxiety not letting the muscles relax enough to empty my bladder. I am constantly told I have a bladder infection by doctors and think this might be the reason. I do experience a tiny burn at the end of the stream but no other bladder infection symptoms. Unless they are diagnosing it solely because of hematuria, which i do have a minor kidney issue that causes microscopic blood in my urine. Does anyone else with anxiety suffer from this? Could it just be the muscles too tense to let the bladder empty?

Urinary Incontinence :: Bladder Okay - Pain In Pelvic And Groin Area

I have been suffering from urinary incontinence for a few months. I was given blood tests, which came back clear, although one showed a slight problem with my kidneys. I had a bladder scan and this showed that my bladder is working okay, but is taking a while to fill. My doctor has never examined me, she justs asks me what's wrong and recommends medication. I told her that I have pain in my pelvis and groin area. She said okay I'll prescribe you detrusitol and wear a pad and we'll see how it goes. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing the incontinence. I'm only 39 and male and I am generally quite fit. I worry about people being able to see my pad and this is really getting me down. The incontinence happens nearly every night and sometimes during the day. The idea of being on medication and wearing pads for a lengthy period is making me anxious and depressed.

Fatigue, Frequent Urination - Could I Have Diabetes?

I already have a low to medium risk for diabetes. I have PCOS and Hashimoto's disease, am overweight, And my grandmother had diabetes (but is currently in remission). I ask, because I've been looking At a few online sites, and symptoms I've had for years (or even most of my life) seem to be dead giveaways for diabetes. Fatigue, frequent urination (including at night) way more than the recommended 8 times a day, I recently put on weight for no obvious reason, I am constantly hungry (if not starving), even after eating, and recently I've been very thirsty.

I've been tested a few times, and when I was pregnant they checked too, and it's always come back negative. Could I be boarder line? Or do I just have a bunch of symptoms I'll never get rid of?

Frequent Urination After Heart Surgery

Since I had CABG 4 (quad by-pass heart surgery) 10 years ago I have (too) frequent urinations. These aren't just a false urges, but the real McCoy. At night I have to get up 4-5 times. When I get up in the morning usually around 6 AM I have to go, afterwards in less than 6-7 minutes the urge is there again. I have measured typical urinations in the daytime to be usually 5-6 ounces. Last week on a long trip that required a full days drive I was within 20 miles of home and on a long bridge tunnel system in heavy 4-lane traffic when the urge hit (big-time.) I had made a rest stop about 40 miles back, but the urge was back. There was no way to stop and it could no longer be held. As I entered the tunnel I managed to shift a newspaper under my bottom in order to maybe not soak the seat. Fortunately, I had a large mouth empty water bottle, which I managed to arrange (I thought.) In the long tunnel and very heavy traffic at 55 mph I gave it a go, which was about 65% successful. My meds are Simvastatin, Metoprolol, Welchol and Tamsulosin (Flomax.)

Multiple Sclerosis :: Frequent Urination?

Since doctors don't seem to want to help me figure out what's wrong, I'm trying to investigate my various symptoms to find potential diseases to rule out.

For the past two and a half years, I've had a problem with frequent urination. No incontinence of any kind, but I tend to pee on average 12-20 times a day. Sometimes I'll be up one or two times at night, sometimes more and sometimes not at all. I DO drink quite a bit of fluid. I tend to average 50-100+ ounces of fluid a day. Usually once a day I'll have a cup of tea, but I don't drink a ton of coffee or any soda at all. I am always thirsty, feel dehydrated all the time, mouth is dry, lips are chapped, light headed and dizzy often, even on the days I'm drinking 100+ ounces of water. I work in an office and don't do anything strenuous that results in sweating. When I do pee, sometimes it's only ten or fifteen minutes before I have to go again. Most of the time, I'm producing a full volume of pee, almost never is it just a few drops or a little bit. My urinalysis and cultures come back normal.

Went to the gynecologist today, he said my bladder is working fine and that when I pee, I am emptying my bladder all the way. His suggestion was to drink less. I'm thinking a 31 year old woman who does not have diabetes or a UTI that's lasted for 2.5 years shouldn't not only have this constant need to pee, but also this constant need to drink and feeling of dehydration. I went to a neuroendocrinologist because I truly believe with my other symptoms, I have some kind of pituitary problem going on (Cushings and/or GHD) but he laughed and blew me off because Hey, it's rare, therefore you don't have it.

Should I ask my PCP about looking into MS? In addition to the frequent urination, I have a great deal of cognitive issues (memory loss / retention problems, concentration problems, shortened attention span, sometimes can't speak properly), depression and anxiety, eye issues (wicked light sensitive, blurry vision, hurts to look up or to the sides), stiff and painful joints and muscles, muscle weakness, occasional tingling in hands or feet, INCREDIBLY fatigued, dizziness and lightheadedness, vertigo, occasional balance issues, and trembling / vibrations in body.

Frequent Urination - When I Am In Lecture Room

I'm 19 and a student. I have urgency to urinate when I am in lecture room. I am okay for 20min after that it feels like I really need to use toilet to urinate. This never stops and and every time I think what can I do to stop this and when I'm in lecture I can't concentrate as the fear of peeing my self occurs which numbs my brain.. I try to distract myself but doesn't work. Plus I urinate before the lecture and I drink less water so I don't but still it does. I hardly drink water or anything when I'm at university. Is there anything I can do to help this stop? I really need some help cuz it feels like prison as I can't think or do anything throughout the day..
