Question 1

are there any home remedies for an enlarged bladder?

Accepted Answer

Urination: And relaxing pelvic floor muscles to facilitate bladder emptying. Best to consult with urologist or uro-gynecologist.

Question 2

can hold a litre of fluid without voiding; do i have an enlarged bladder?

Accepted Answer

Yes: One should try to empty their bladder every 2-3 hours to avoid bladder emptying problems in the future. Chronic overdistention may lead to inability to void in the future. In the most severe cases kidney failure can occur. I see this problem once or twice a year. "never pass up the opportunity to urinate and void frequently".

Question 3

groin pain, pressure & enlarged bladder?

Accepted Answer

Inability to void?: Many things can cause each of these non-specific symptoms, but the inability to void, or empty the bladder, can cause all three together. This problem can result from a failure of the bladder to squeeze propery (neurogenic bladder, diabetes, nerve injury overdistension), or from an obstruction of the bladder outlet (prostate enlargement, urethral stricture).

Question 4

is bulge in middle of lower agdomen from enlarged bladder or colon?

Accepted Answer

Can be/other things.: Depending on your age, etc. Other things, like weak ligaments that hold up the bladder and other organs can cause fuller/lower feeling bladder.  A distended colon can do it, but depending on the cause other symptoms would be present, like bowel disturbsnces, etc..  In women, things like ovarian cysts, etc. That enlarge the ovary can increase the abdominal size/girth.  See your doctor to be sure.

Question 5

my roommate never needs to pee during kegger party. does he have an enlarged bladder?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Alcohol can also act to reduce sensation in the bladder but your roommate may be doing long term damage to the bladder by holding it. "never pass up the opportunity to urinate" and "void frequently" should be your mantra to avoid a visit to the urologist.

Question 6

i have an enlarged bladder and don't leak. but if even small and i cough, i do leak. why?

Accepted Answer

Increased pressure: When you cough you increase your abdominal pressure which presses on your bladder forcing out urine. The treatment may be getting the appropriate treatment for your cough. I often hear this complaint in women with cough variant asthma.

Question 7

18 week fetal us indicated enlarged bladder. kidneys measured normal. amniotic fluid normal. any advice?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: The finding of &quot;enlarged&quot; bladder for a fetus of 18 weeks shouldn&#x27;t rouse an overly concern at all. Clinically, this finding may just present a normally distended bladder before peeing. So, stop worrying about it and see what it may be in follow-up US as long as you&#x27;re clinically sound for normal pregnancy. In fact, nothing could be done anyway even if something is serious. So, seek pro-counseling

Question 8

where is bladder located in a female?

Accepted Answer

Lower abdomen: It is located in the middle lower abdomen right above the pubic area.  You can google images for the female bladder to see a diagram/cartoon of the organ.

Question 9

how is a 'dropped bladder' diagnosed by a woman?

Accepted Answer

Look: Very often, you can see the bladder protruding between the labia while on the toilet. It takes physical exam to determine if this is the bladder, cervix, vaginal cuff (after hysterectomy) or the rectum that is "falling out". Surgical repair can be curative if symptoms are annoying.

Question 10

why do women get overactive bladder more than men?

Accepted Answer

Weak sphincter: Sometimes the overactive bladder is caused when a drop of urine gets in the urethra and triggers a contraction.  Since women are more likely to have stress incontinence they are more likely to have that drop of urine get in their urethra and trigger oab symptoms.
