My name is Stacey and I am Pee-a-holic! - Urology Message Board

Hi all. I am in the middle of getting tested for bladder problems. I am a 44 year old female...

Basically I am fine during the day but pee up to ten times a night.

The first test my doctor did was (I don't know the name) hooking me up to some machine that tested how much urine I can hold and I guess how much spasming my bladder does. Apparently it does spasm.

Then yesterday, a month later, she did another test where she looked up my urethra and at my bladder. Apparently my urethra isn't behaving either.

I am not exactly exhibiting classic signs of anything, but some abnormalities that she cannot really say "You have THIS. Or you have THAT."...

I also didn't feel that the Urispas and that whatever that stuff is that makes your pee orange work very well. That is what is depressing. I don't seem to respond to bladder spasm medicine...

My doctor did say that the test she did yesterday, sticking the camera tube up my urethra might stun it into behaving.

If anyone has had these tests, they can relate to the really unpleasant time I have had peeing yesterday and today.

So, does anyone else have these weird traits? Does anyone have these weird traits and don't respond to the typical medicnes?

Thank you for listening to my bladderly blathering!

Stacey

as mentioned elsewhere, a small dose of imipramine calms the bladder and often helps, the problem can be caused, believe it ot not simply by anxiety

Hi, sounds like you were *******coped, and yes it does hurt peeing afterwards, wish I could help more...

Maybe that was what it is, *******coped. Well one of the tests. The other test used the same type of equipment but there was not a camera on the stick. It was a machine measuring spasms...

Anyway, since the *******cope, I am not feeling like peeing a 1000 times before bed. I think it sorta did the trick...

Thanks all

Do you drink liquids after 6PM? I was always told to cut down on liquid consumption by that time. I had persistant bladder infections for 2 years and finally went to a urologist. I had they cystoscope a year ago and after the last dose of antibiotics the urologist prescribed, haven't had a bladder infection since. I was told years ago that when you lie down, your kidneys relax and work overtime to expell urine. I always have to pee a few times once I've been down, but not as often as you.
