Question 1

why i have pain in my bladder

Accepted Answer

Drink water: Consider cranberry juice, but you knew that.  Get checked and treated for a urinary tract infection.

Infections post sex are common. You may want to get medicine to take before sex.

Question 2

how come my bladder feel full?

Accepted Answer

Full bladder: There are several ways that an abnormal bladder sensation arises. 1) The bladder does not empty fully 2) The bladder wall is irritated 3) External pressure (surrounding organs). I recommend having your PCP or Ob-gyn examine you.

Question 3

my bladder never feels empty ?

Accepted Answer

Bladder emptying: Bladder “not feeling empty” or sensation of incomplete emptying may have several etiologies. Seeing a urologist would be a great step towards uncovering a possible cause.  A bladder scan, a simple, non-invasive &amp; comfortable office based test, can tell us how urine left behind after urinating (a “post-void residual” volume).  This assessment can be a great start towards an answer.

Question 4

how can i strengthen  my bladder?

Accepted Answer

Please Clarify: I have never heard of this question before.  Who told you that your bladder needed 'strengthening"? What do you mean by 'strengthen your bladder'? 

Do you mean that you are leaking or incontinent of urine?  Do you have a prostate infection or swelling?  Is the bladder infected?

Question 5

why can't i fully empty my bladder?

Accepted Answer

Multiple etiologies: There are multiple etiologies for this problem that depends on your age and gender and your presentation.  It is not normal for a 31 year old person to not fully empty the bladder, so further work up will be required.  The first thing that should be done is to make sure that you have normal kidney function and that there is no evidence of infection.

Question 6

is it possible to increase the size of my bladder?

Accepted Answer

Well,...: You can not truly increase its size, but the capacity. Bladder training, a program of urinating on schedule, enables you to gradually increase the amount of urine you can comfortably hold.

Question 7

are there tests to see if my bladder is working properly?

Accepted Answer

Urodynamic studies: Performed by urologists ; uro-gynecologists.

Question 8

why didn't my bladder wash work. still have same symptons?

Accepted Answer

More info: We need more information as to why your bladder was washed. For most infections, bladder washing is no longer recommended. If it is to clear a catheter, i would recommend seeing your pcp or urologist again if it remains clogged.

Question 9

does emptying my bladder more often make my bladder stronger?

Accepted Answer

Yes or no.: Do you do it on purpose as a form of exercise? I am not a nephrologist or urologist. In my honest opinion, it may strengthen your urinary bladder muscles I am not sure, that is my opinion. Would refer you to our healthtaps specialist or see a private nephrologist or urologist. My line of practice is in surgery and self-healing meditation to treat cancers and chronic illnesses as a secondary suppor.

Question 10

why is there constant grumbling noises coming from my bladder?

Accepted Answer

Probably the guts: It is unlikely from your bladder unless it has a fistula. It is more likely from your intestine.   See doctor if you have discomfort or feeling ill.
