Question 1

i have endometriosis around my urinary tract and have severe abdo pain after emptying my bladder every time. its so bad i want to have my bladder removed. would a dr actually do this for a 27 yr old and is there anything else i can try?

Accepted Answer

: No, bladder resection (cystectomy) causes significant complications because you have many years to live ahead of you. You should be taken care by a team of at least 2 doctors: a well trained GYN doctor in dealing with endometriosis and a urologist.

Question 2

i have lower abdominal pain after emptying my bladder but thats the only time i feel that mild pain. what does it mean ?

Accepted Answer

Bladder infection: Most likely an infection or inflammation of your urinary balder
See your doctor, get urine analysis, and treatment accordingly. To ignore an infection is not good.

Question 3

i'm having a real intense pain after i empty my bladder is it a uti?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Sounds very suspicious for a urinary infection.  You should get evaluated to be sure so that appropriate treatment can be started.

Question 4

i have had itching and burning sensations in my bladder and vaginal areas.   used otc yeast infection meds, did not work. 
feel raw inside.  pain worse after i empty bladder and when sitting in certain positions.  no uti smptoms.  is it a yeast infec?

Accepted Answer

Try your GYN: You might have general irritation or inflammation unrelated to yeast. Your GYN can help you sort it out. Best of luck.

Question 5

i sometimes (at least once a month) get pain in my bladder after emptying. the pain can only be relieved when i place pressure on my bladder. help?

Accepted Answer

Bladder spasm: Sometimes a bladder spasm, like a muscle cramp, occurs in the bladder after it is emptied.  It may mean that you delayed urination for a while causing the bladder to stretch, then contract more strongly after emptying.
Since it occurs infrequently, no treatment is indicated, but following an old urology professor's recommendation--"never pass a water fountain or bathroom without using it!"

Question 6

is it possible not completely empty your bladder when self cathing?

Accepted Answer

Explanation : Yes, this happen very often. Do not wary.

Question 7

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 8

if your bladder doesn't empty all the way is it harmful?

Accepted Answer

It may be: Incomplete bladder emptying is called post-void residual volume.  It can be measured by a urologists office.  Some implications of this condition can be but not limited to:  urinary tract infections, abdominal discomfort, or urinary leakage.

Question 9

my bladder is empty, but when it's pushed on it feels like i need a wee. why could this be?

Accepted Answer

UTI: possible cystitis- UTI- you will need a urine analysis and culture- probable antibiotic therapy.

Question 10

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.
