Bladder Problems Posted: 01-19-04 02:36am
Usually I have a really good bladder and I
rarely have to go to the bathroom (maybe
2-5 times a day depending on how much I
drink)
recently I feel like I have to go to the
bathroom all the time, even if I just went
about 5 minutes ago (and completely
emptied my bladder)
what could possibly be going on? It
worries me

Well,it cud b a few things I guess like:
a) is there a chance u r pregnant?
Pregnant women go to the toilet more
frequently due to pressure on their
bladder,
b) have u increased ur intake of
liquids?
C) u cud have an infection such as a water
infection or cystitis which causes people
2 urinate more,u may also feel some pain
when u pee.
I'd go to the docs if ur worried because a
water infection is easily treated with
anti biotics-dont stress cos lots of women
have these.
Best wishes
liz

I doubt she is pregnant, she didn't
mention it and normally you don't start
running to the bathroom frequently until
your belly is really big and the baby is
pressing down on your bladder. I am
curious - what is a water infection?

Actually saribellum-when you get pregnant
your body is moving to make room for a
baby and yes, it does cause frequent
peeing. But more frequent when the baby
is bigger. It was a suggestion, and
unless you have the right answer, dont try
to correct liz.

I think ya'll are being a little harsh - I
read saribellum's post and it didn't sound
like he/she was trying to correct sparkly.
I read it and took it as simply stating
a fact. I think ya'll are being bullies.

Hi Floridagirl! Posted: 01-22-04 19:52pm
I am in orlando too - small world.
Don't worry about those two - I don't care
what they say. I didn't try to correct
her I was just making an observation just
like you said. They obviously
misinterpreted what I wrote. That's ok
though - if I spent all my waking hours on
here doing nothing but responding to every
single message I came across (see how many
posts they each have???) whether I knew
what I was talking about or not, I would
probably misread some posts too. And my
fingers would probably get tired of typing
too and i'd have to shorten words like
"people" and "could" and "your" because
the strain of actually typing the full
word out would be too great on my little
fingers. Its all good though.

Bladder Problems Posted: 10-11-04 22:02pm
Hi
one of the first signs of pregnancy is
frequent urination,and this is clear.
However,there are other reasons for
this,too,so always check with doctor.

One cause of frequent urination is a
urinary tract infection. They are pretty
common. Generally, you will feel that you
have to pee, like your bladder's full, but
when you go, hardly anything comes out.
It might also burn. You can go to your
doctor to get medication to fix this
problem. Kidney infections and bladder
infections can also cause frequent
urination.

There are a few other causes of frequent
urination, besides urinary tract
infections and pregnancy.
Diabetes is one of them (which might also
be accompanied by other symptoms such as
weight loss, gain, thirst, dry skin, sweet
smelling breath).
The other is an enlarged uterus - which
could be caused by benign fibroid tumors
pressing on the bladder or adenomyosis
which can cause the uterus to grow to two
or three times its normal pre-pregnancy
size.
Bladder infection, however, is the most
common cause and should be treated right
away to keep it from spreading and from
having any more discomfort than you
need.
Take care.

Frequent urination can also be caused by a
prolapsed bladder or uterus. One sign of
this is if you have a dragging feeling in
your stomach or feel like you can not
completly discharge. If this is still
going on you may want to ask about this
