I don't have a urinary bladder infection or diabetes, but still have to pee a lot. How do I control?

---

Already went to see a doctor and didn't have the infection or diabetes or anything. Still, I have to go to the bathroom a lot. What is wrong with me, and how do I control. Are there tips for bladder control?
1. take a little more salt if you need to do somethign and want to control for the period. it'll suppress the need to pee for a while. (water retention)

2. drink a little less water.

3. if you have a small bladder. it's normal don't worry too much. bus drivers go to the toilet every 2 hours ie when they reach the next stop point for them.  (+ info)

Should girls ALWAYS pee after sex to prevent a urinary tract infection in their bladder?

I heard that the natural bacteria in a man's penis can get into a woman's urethra during sex and travel up to her bladder, causing an infection. Also, I heard that peeing soon after sex will wash that bad bacteria away. Is this true?
Yes this is true. You should pee with in a half an hour of having sex.  (+ info)

How likely is it that a bladder fistula is cancerous? Should I worry?

---

I had never even heard of one and had no sense of urgency when I started showing symptoms. Embarrassing... but for other women who should know to contact the Dr...passing air when urinating is Dr warranted. I finally called the Dr thinking it just isn't normal and she skipped the office visit and set an appt. with a urologist. I don't have Crohn's disease and I haven't had any recent surgeries. Just by process of elimination I've really narrowed down the possible reasons. Ovarian, Uterine, and colon cancers run in my family. Is it a pretty high chance that it is cancer? Should I pack my bags for the next life or is it pretty common and easily taken care of? Is surgery the next step?
I am waiting to see a urologist. So, I am going to see a Dr. My mind is just going nuts and thought maybe someone had some knowledge while I wait.
Pneumaturia (passing air through the urethra while voiding) can be caused by three general things. 1. Recent instrumentation of the bladder (e.g. having a catheter) - this usual on lasts a most a few hours; 2. An infection with gas forming bacteria; and, 3. a fistula to the bladder.

For there to be air in the bladder, the fistula need to connect to a structure that normally contains air. This makes the bowel the most likely cause. Although the uterus and vagina are possible; it is pretty ruled out be lack of total incontinence. Ovarian cancer would be unusually. But possible. It could set up a fistula involving colon and urinary tract.

In my experience the most common possible cause of an entrovesical fistula is diverticulitis (an inflammatory disease of the colon - most in those older the 45). The second most common in my experience is a surgical mishap such a hysterectomy. There are many other benign causes of entrovesical fistulas. An example of a usual cause is called Fraley Syndrome; this occurs when a stone in the appendix (usually inflamed) digs its way into the bladder.

Colorectal cancers are well known to cause enterovesical fistulas. It needs to be considered in the diagnosis - but inflammatory causes are more common.

It is also possible to have a fistula between the gut and upper ureter. This is rare, in my career I may not seen this.

In answer to your final question - do not pack your bags. It is fairly common and most the time is easily treated (obviously depends on what the cause is). The step(s) are to see what is going on. The first steps frequently include a urine analysis and culture, plus a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis. A cystoscopy is also needed. Other tests based on the findings from the above include colonoscopy, barium enema or a charcoal swallow.

Good luck!  (+ info)

Has your toddler ever had a urinary tract or bladder infection?

---

What werre the symptoms? How early did you catch it? What was the treatment?
Depending on the age of your child symptoms can be pulling at their groin. a stinging feeling with urination that may cause them to cry. you can help ease some pain if it is a female by pouring warm water over her vagina while she urinates. The urine usually smells very strong and can be dark, cloudy. Treatment requires a doc visit. he will need to test it to find out what bacteria is present, and give the proper antibiotics. start your child on cranberry juice now. it can be cran/apple cran/raspberry doesn't matter what brand you just need it to be cranberry. if it is difficult for your child to produce a sample at the doc office you can get one from home. You will need to boil a glass jar and lid for 15 min. then use a wipe and if a female wipe vaginal area from front to back. if a male clean the top of the penis. then have them pee into the jar (easy if male). Possible cause of infection if this is a female is that she isn't wiping properly. maybe back to front instead of front to back. real important mom if this a new task for your child to try to observe how the wiping technique is done. good luck see the doc tom morrow  (+ info)

Can you tell me the difference between post urinary retention and distended bladder?

---

What are the treatments for these?
A distended bladder is just a bladder that is larger than normal, usually due to holding a lot of urine. The distention can go away if you urinate unless there is an organic cause.

Post urinary retention means that after you urinate, urine is left in your bladder or kidneys. It is a significant enough amount that it can be seen on a scan or with a test. This can cause recurrent urinary tract infections which can lead to a buildup of scar tissue, the loss of the "full" feeling in the bladder, and even incontinence.

A distended bladder doesn't really require treatment unless there is loss of muscle tone due to it being distended for a long period of time. It helps to empty your bladder on a regular basis, about every 2 hours if possible, to keep it from getting too full and possibly weakening the muscle.
As for post urinary retention, there are a few treatments available. One is to do a straight cath after voiding to make sure the bladder is empty. Another, most often used in conjunction with the straight cath or by itself, is medication to get rid of the infection if one is there. Other meds are available to help with the condition. Surgical intervention may be indicated. Bladder retraining can be helpful.  (+ info)
