i have issues with bladder leaking when i sneeze , cough. could this be caused by having a catheter for 2 months when i was hospitalized?

Question

I just had my gall bladder removed about two weeks ago why does it still hurt when I cough sneeze and laugh I am also hot one minute and cold the next?

Answer 1

Sure could: Having a catheter that long could cause some stenosis (stiffening) of your urethra and could cause some leaking. It's not so much your bladder leaking as it is the tube that comes out of the bladder. Talk to OB or urologist about various options to help with this problem. There are more helpful hints or treatments out there than you think!

Answer 2

No: Superficial blood vessels during pregnancy are quite fragile. This along with the hormone changes of pregnancy make them more susceptible to spontaneous bleeding like nose bleeds and cough induced bleeding. Usually the bleeding is small in amount and subsides after pregnancy is over.

Answer 3

Yes...: Coughing blood, called hemoptysis, is a symptom which always requires a doctor's evaluation. If you have shortness of breath, you should go to the nearest er now! call your doctor today and let him/her know of this symptom. Possibilities include bronchitis but blood clot in your lungs, especially during pregnancy, is another possiblity. This could be a life-threatening problem. See a doctor today!

Answer 4

He should be seen : Croup is a viral illness that causes swelling in the baby's upper airway- near your baby's larynx (voicebox). Your baby may be hoarse. When it is severe, the swelling may block off airflow into your baby's lungs and cause problems with getting oxygen into the body. This can become a life-threatening senario in the youngest infants. Best to call your doctor, or if breathing is severe, go to the er.

Answer 5

Vapor and more vapor: Croup is a common illness in young children. It is caused by one of several respiratory viruses and can affect any susceptible child throughout the year. It often presents as a harsh, barking cough due to the relative small size of an infant or child's airway. There is no specific medicine but humidified air such as the steam off a hot shower or table-top humidfier is usually sufficient.

Answer 6

Go to the ER: With any scenario that includes difficulty breathing, the child needs to go to the er immediately.

Answer 7

Steam or cold air: Croup can be scary - it is worse at night when normal body hormones that suppress inflammation go down. When a baby gets that barky cough and develops difficulty breathing, taking the baby into a steamy bathroom with the shower running may help. Also, going outside into cold air can also help. If you are still worried, call your pediatrician!

Answer 8

Consult dr if severe: Croup is usually mild illness managed at home. Help with cool mist, placing child near vaporizerI if you do not have a cool mist vaporizer, even a simple humidifier in child’s bedroom may be helpful. Seek ER if cool mist not clearing up stridor in 15 minutes, repeated episodes of stridor or trouble breathing child’s chest or stomach retracting, bluish lips,lethargy,drooling,neck pain,stiffness

Answer 9

Inflammation: Inflammation in the lung triggers reflexes that cause cough. Also mucous caused by the inflammation does the same. The lungs are trying to clear the germs and debris.

Answer 10

Reflex...: Cough is a reflex designed to rid the airways of infection. It prevents the infection from spreading to the rest of the lung and to other parts of the body. So, in bronchitis, the person is coughing in an attempt to get rid of the presumed infection. In chronic bronchitis, no infection exists but the body can't tell the difference so cough ensues.

Answer 11

Surgery: If one develops severe urianry incontinence after radical surgery and has failed conservative management and medications, then surgery is the next option. This includes collagen injection to help close the bladder opening or placement a sling underneath the urethra. A fianl measure would be to place an artificial (plastic) sphincter to close the urethral while not urinating.

Answer 12

Arificial sphincter: Ams artificial urinary sphincter placed around the urethra is the most effective and reliable procedure to control urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. Device is continually being improved. Coaptite injections around bladder neck or placement of pressure pad might be successful for minor incontince however you would then have to void by valslva (straining).

Answer 13

Yes.: There are a variety of procedures to alleviate incontinence after a prostatectomy. A thorough evaluation from a urologist is recommended. Kegel exercises, urethral slings, and artificial urinary sphincters can be utilized to eliminate or improve stress urinary incontinence. Prior to surgery, your urologist might recommend some routine tests such as cystoscopy or urodynamics.

Answer 14

Possibly pneumonia: I have found that when people have a deep cough associated with pain on taking a deep breath they often times have pneumonia. You should be evaluated by a physician. If this has been a long-term problem then you definitely need to be evaluated as there are other causes.

Answer 15

Hard to say: Any adult has likely had bronchitis several times as a kid & may as an adult. They are often viral, a minor affliction & self heal in a week or two. The lungs heal and life goes on. The level of concern you should have should match the degree of interference this process has with your daily activities. Minor, can be ignored; significant may require a doc visit.
