Urology :: Burning While Holding And After Urination
I am a girl who has had this problem for a year and a half. When I hold it, it burns, when I urinate it burns, and after it burns, hurts, and feels so uncomfortable sometimes. I have seen so many doctors who specialise this things. It's not an infection and there's no bacteria. But the weird thing is, is sometimes it doesn't burn when I urinate or even after. I could have a really bad day, then the next day it could be better. It goes on and off. I have tried a food diary, and there's nothing that can cause this. When I have cookies, crackers, candy, things with sugar on top or things with salt on top, it burns more. It is very frustrating and confusing. No one ever understands my pain and burning I go through everyday. I cry sometimes. I have drank cranberry juice but it still hasn't helped. I have also tried many products to put on the skin but that doesn't help. I really don't know if it's on the outside or inside. But, my doctor told me that it could me muscle, that are to tight. So now i'm doing exercising n relaxing those muscles. I really don't know if it's the answer but has anyone ever dealt with kind of the same problem I have? Has anyone done the muscle theraby?
View 4 RepliesUrology :: Urinary Urgency/Frequency/Blood In Urine/Tissue Bits In Urine
On a doctor's visit back in December, it was discovered that i had microscopic blood in my urine. This went on for a few months, and increased with every doctor's check up. A urologist did an ultrasound of the kidney/bladder back in February, and all was normal. He also did cystoscopy which was normal too. He also did a test which shows my bladder holds sufficient amount of urine. The problem is, we never really figured out what the cause was, and recently i have had a new symptom (mucus tissue looking things in my urine). I am considering going back to a different urologist, but has anyone experienced something similar, or know what tissue looking bits in urine is?

View 2 RepliesAlzheimers :: Mom Holding Her Urine And Not Eating
My mom is eating less and less everyday. I have been trying all kinds of food to eat, and only polish sausage and potato chips seem to work. When all else fails I give her a scoop of Ice cream in some glaucoma. Last night she had a ice cream cone and mashed potatoes for dinner. The Doctor told me to give her whatever she will eat.
She will go to the bathroom to make a bowel movement, and I help her when she is finish, but she holds her urine all day and she goes in her diaper while she is sleep. She wears depends during the day. She doesn't seem to be in any pain, and she is not agitated.
She underlines the words in her Dr. seuss books and plays with her doll. Her toes and foot have spasms as well as her hands, and its hard for her to snap her night gown. Its takes her a while to recognize me or other family members. She doesn't have many words left and i have to show her what to do. She went to bed without her meds because she kept trying to suck and chew the pill and she spit it out in the toilet and rinsed her mouth with the water in the cup. (LOL) This happened twice. Medicare only gives me 30 days worth of medicine.
My problem is I want to stop sending my mom to the adult center, because she will not let them feed her and she will not eat. She just sleeps, and doesn't participate and any activities. Shes stays 4 hours enough time for me to do whatever I want. I am retired and 53 yrs old, I can do this.
My family helps on weekends, but they seem to think she needs to socialize. They do not see her slump in a chair staring and looking weak with dried lips, and seeming depressed thinking she is going to stay there. I can't stand it anymore. I kept her home for two days and it takes two hours, but I got food, water and meds in her.
I let her sleep as long as she needs too, and every hour or so I offer her something to eat and encourage her to sip a drink from her cup. I walk her around the house and we look at the flowers. I have a nice wheel chair that medicare provided and my friends come along to help me run errands.
I don't need to send her away to be with other dementia people, cause I have support, and don't work. Today I called the social worker to request in home care for three days a week and 4 hours each day. Because I think at this stage she needs one on one stimulation and quiet. She sits in her chair at the window and sleep. The doctor told me her dementia is very severe and she needs 24 hour care and requested to see her in 4 months.
She is 71 years old. This all started in 2002 when dad died. She became very depressed, and in 2007 she started getting lost and not paying her bills, and doctor also says there were signs of mini strokes, and she is type 2 diabetes.I know my mother is not going to get better, but I want her to feel safe and secure. My sibling are all younger than me, and have jobs and children in school. I retired and moved back here to take care of things and my three little sisters are scared of whats happening. I don't know what's next but I and here for them and her.
Vagina Feels Swollen After Holding In Urine?
Two days ago, I was in a position where I had to hold in my urine for a few hours, and I had to go pretty badly. When I was finally able to go, I felt a strange slight pressure (or something) near the opening of my vagina once I finished urinating and my muscles contracted. However, it was minor enough to forget about until I noticed it again the next day, when I felt the same sensation in the shower while bending in a certain position. This morning, my vagina has the same sensation -- slightly swollen (or heavy, or something -- or maybe like something small is stuck inside) -- near the opening. I don't have any other symptoms, except that my urine is darker than usual. I did have quite a bit of discharge this morning (watery, clear white), but I normally have some discharge. I've examined myself and didn't notice anything unusual. I even inserted my middle finger into my vagina to feel for anything abnormal (I read about some concerning things). My labia minora might be a little swollen; I can't quite tell. Could my urethra be swollen? UTI? The sensation isn't severe, but a little uncomfortable when I think about it.
I am 25 years old and have never had children or any known serious health issues.
I would really appreciate some advice as to what this could be to ease my mind before seeing a doctor.
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.
Urology :: Lactobacillus In Urine?
I am a 32 year old female. With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and otherwise very healthy, except for a recent issue this summer with C.Diff/Clostridium Difficile after being given Augmentin antibiotic for bronchitis back in May. It killed all my good bacteria.. and have been on Flagyl and Vancomycin to treat the c diff damage Augmentin did. Back on Vanco a 2nd round.
Anyways, a month and a half later after the cdiff started, I developed this weird "burning" sensation around and inside my urethra. I had no idea what it was. Never had a UTI before that I know of. Then, I noticed these little "specks"/particles that looked like teeny little skin flakes in my pee and sometimes its cloudy with it... and weird little "bubbles". there were 4 occasions.. where something that resembled a shred of lettuce, very small, but looked, like.. lettuce, even the little veiny lettuce leaf things... came out during urination. oddly, i had lettuce the day before 2 of those events. I am pretty sure it came out with my urine, as the toilets were perfectly clear beforehand... and it happened at my work toilet and at home. and i did not do a #2 during any of these incidents. these were all in afternoons/evenings. and i normally only have BM's first thing in the morning. even with cdiff. i never saw such a thing in my pee before. then again, i never exactly looked all the time at my pee. until the burning thing started... then yeah, i was paying attention.
So, I do not have insurance, and was under the care of a Gastroenterologist at the main city hospital for the cdiff and he was letting me see him for free for 3 appointments as a courtesy thing. So, I told him how I thought I had a UTI, and if I have a UTI, I am in BIG trouble because that means I would need an antibiotic.. and I cant be on any other antibiotics as it would cause me to have a major c.diff setback or even kill me.
So, he ordered me to get a Urinalysis by Microscopy and Urine Culture test at the lab downstairs to their office. The urinalysis came back all normal/negative.. except trace ketones and trace mucus. everything else was fine. Urine culture came back and no Leukocytes, etc. BUT... it had 3 bacterias.. but within "normal limits". it just said "#1.. gram negative rods 2,000 count #2. gram neg rods 3,000 #3 Lactobacillus species 50,000. colonies per ML. Lab paper just says most likely sample collection contamination due to the mixed bacterias found. repeat if they wanted to. and that was it. doc said they don't treat unless its over 100,000 colonies. and they considered it a non-UTI. is this correct?
So... question is... is this actually even an "infection"??? The burning went away for several days, actually.
BUT I am currently taking probiotics.. for the cdiff treatment. LOTS and lots of Lifeway Kefir...which contains.. lactobacillus.........
so, could this be that its somehow getting into my urine? or... vaginal contamination how i did the sample collection? just funyn how it happens to be.. just that bacteria.
I know docs thought perhaps I may have IC back in 2007, but was never tested for anything. That was after I was having chronic urination... im talking 20-30 times a night. AFter they ruled out other problems and diabetes.
Also, can baking soda help fix this "problem"?

I am French. I’m 28, it’s being 2 years and a half that I have blood in the urine with horrible pain.
I had 3 ureteroscopies who have given nothing and now the professor who follows me told me I have the loin pain hematuria syndrome, and there was nothing to do. The only thing I can do is to wait till it’s going better. He refuses to make a biopsy and told me to take aspirin.
I wanted to know if you know doctors who offer other drugs. I've heard of self transplantation and kidney innervation;
I've been in different hospitals and doctors tell me that the pain is bearable and advised me to consult a shrink. I do not think my pain is psychic. I wanted to know if U.S. medical research is more advanced than the French one.
