Question 1

hello, i am a female 31.  i have to push to get all my urine out.  it had been like this for years.  when i was younger i used to hold my urine for lo?

Accepted Answer

Should see specialis: The things that determine how urine flows out of the bladder are the position of the bladder compared to the tube that drains it - the urethra, the muscles around the bladder, and sometimes effects of medications.  It is possible to have blockage of the tube.  You should see a urologist to make sure that is not the case.

Question 2

i can not hold my urine, if i don't get to the bathroom it seems to start on its own. i have not control over it. i am 59 years old, it does not happen atlot but should not happen at all.

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, : Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon problem for older women.  If that's you, and if this has been going on for a while without any pain or blood in the urine, then you should probably look for a gynecologic urologist to help you out.

If you are a man, then this could represent something called overflow incontinence.  Your prostate may be enlarged, which prevents you from fully emptuing your bladder.  It then fills up quickly, reaching a point of being overly full; this starts an uncontrollable release of urine.  If this is your case, then you should see a urologist for testing of your prostate.

If this is a new problem or if it is associated with pain or bleeding, then it could be a urinary tract infection.  Talk to your regular doctor about a urine test a nd possible antibiotics.

Question 3

having back problems. my dr says they believe its back spasms. i realise it even hurts if i hold my urine for a few min. what are this signs of?

Accepted Answer

Multiple from just : A muscular origin to potentially multiple other ones like a disc problem  or even a referred pain from a kidney stone, urinary tract infection or other issue like an ovarian cyst.  Most primary back problems are self limiting meaning they get better especially if no fever, chills, sweats, burning on urination, cloudy urine, or any stomach issues or neurologic symptoms like weakness , numbness, etc.

Question 4

i find it difficult to hold my urine for as some time before getting to where i could pee, could it be as a result of masturbation,?

Accepted Answer

: There can be many reasons for this. Reduce your intake of coffee, tea alcohol and  soft drinks. empty your bladder every 3-5 hours. try this for a few weeks. if still a problem see a Urologist. It is not related to masturbation. Good luck.

Question 5

i had a uti 8 months ago and i never got it treated and now if i hold my urine for a long time it smells awful and burns... can this be fixed?

Accepted Answer

UTI: It sounds like you may still have symptoms of a UTI (urinary tract infection), which can include frequency, burning, foul odor, lower abdominal pain, or fatigue.  I would advise you to go to see a medical provider and have your urine undergo a urinalysis.

Question 6

since few days i'm having pains in my lower abdomen and sometimes around hipbone area(i guess around kidney) and i feel pain in my back if i hold my urine for long time and it burns when i pee(sometimes) and my pee is red when i urinate @2-3 or 4am?

Accepted Answer

: Sounds like a urinary tract infection - either bladder or (more seriously) kidney.  Need to see a physician and (probably) begin an antibiotic

Incontinence: Incontinence can be classified as chronic or transient (less than 6 months).  Chronic urge incontinence can be classified as stress, urge, mixed, overflow, or functional. Problem be related to UTI or more significant problems such as fistula or uterine prolapse.

Question 9
