Frequency: These symptoms are related to irritability of the bladder, very similar to ibs. Many times drinking too many sodas, caffeinated drinks and spicy foods can cause this. Sometimes it can be related to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, irritation of the urethra during intercourse. Sometimes you need to take an antispasmodic medication to break the cycle or avoid the above foods.

Question 7

i am getting my periods every 2nd week now, my bladder started leaking more and more now, cant hold in my urine sometimes?

Accepted Answer

Frequent periods ?: At age 32, bleeding "every two weeks" is uncommon, and is not true menstruation.  Polyps and fibroid tumors can cause intermittent bleeding, so see your gyn for an exam and testing.  Stress incontinence from overactive bladder muscles or prolapse of the bladder can be treated with medications or surgery respectively. Get a referral to a gyn-urologist for this problem.

Question 8

hi doctor, i have been really worried about my bladder, i go to the toilet frequently, sometimes even when i dont need to go to the toilet it feels like i will pee on myself. sometimes i cant hold my urine. everytime i stand up i need to pee. ?

Accepted Answer

UTI vs postpartum : The most common probable causes are either a Urinary Tract Infection or Postpartum Incontinence. A DR can test your urine to determine if you have an infection and need antibiotics. If you had a difficult birth, your OB/Gyn dr can recommend exercises or treatments to diminish the incontinence.

Question 9

i dont know why my period is hurting so bad this month it hurts to bleed right behind my pelvic bone because i get a almost burning sencation like under my bladder and right behind mt clit and i cant even hold a tampon in cuz it burns so bad?

Accepted Answer

: Severe pain at a period is a perfect reason to see a GYN MD in their office to find out why. Make an appointment soon.

Question 10

how much can your bladder hold ?

Accepted Answer

Adult -&gt; 5 - 600mL: (17 - 20 oz) calculation for children is to add 2 to  their age in years ; express it in oz.  Thus normal bladder volume for a 5-year-old is 7 oz or 210ml, 12 oz or 350 ml for a ten-year-old. Teen-agers have an adult size bladder. Full-term newborn babies have about a 50 - 60 ml bladder capacity, just about 2 oz. Of course some adults can stretch their bladders to hold a liter.
