Not Peeing Enough

[jennyjoan]

A cuppla months I think I posted I was peeing I am guessing too often but having said that - I never felt I was "emptied" fully.

I am now feeling like that again. I feel when I pee there should be more coming out and there isn't.

Is there anything I can buy to help until I get an appointment with the doctor. Thanks

My Grandad used to swear by Lemon Barley water Conne. Hope you get it sorted

[jennyjoan]

thanks Mazie - was thinking of that myself - will get that tomorrow - I have been feeling uncomfortable for a while.

Lots of possible reasons for incomplete voiding of the bladder, I wouldn't advise buying anything medicinal, Mazie's suggestion is good or just up your fluids and try to train yourself to go a little longer between visits.

I had a urinary infection once. It was awful. hope you get some relief x

I have seen lemon barley water suggested elsewhere. I now keep a bottle in the house as a while ago I had the same symptoms as JJ.

[jennyjoan]

Went back to bed and thought of these past few days of eating.

Two of the days I ate a whole Belfast bap - immediately you blow up.

Then I had 3 small rounds of bread and banana.

So tomorrow will all give that bread up and get into porridge and fruit and try my best to avoid carbs tomorrow and also get up my lemon barley water. That will help me - maybe not feel so swelled up.

[mazie]

Stay off the bread and dairy for a few days Conne

If you are female, have had one or more children and are over 50, it is possible that your innards are sagging due to pelvic floor weakness - one of the most extreme symptoms of which is a prolapse.

It might be advisable to speak to a doctor about this. If you are referred to a specialist you may be deliberately misdiagnosed in order to protect against surgery overload because you are not in a very serious condition - that was what happened to me when I was referred to an ENT specialist. I knew he was wrong, wasn't in a serious condition but wanted at least to know what was wrong. Two years later after self-diagnosing I went back to my GP who confirmed I was likely right, sent me back to the same ENT guy who confirmed the test results and sheepishly asked if I had always thought this was it. He offered me surgery, I declined now that I knew for sure and told him I wanted to stay as clear of the medical profession as possible, nothing personal. He was nice enough to say he fully understood my position and said I was probably very wise to take it.

Jenny, until you see your GP just drink plenty of plain water.

Conne...I kind of have the same problem have to go wee many times and urgently..been for scans and consultant etc was given tabs but one of the side effects was insomnia and as it was interrupted sleep, have to go usually 4 times through the night, that I went to doc to begin with, just stopped taking them....a wee trick is to go and 10 mins later go again even if you don't feel the need...helps a bit...hope you are better soon xx

[anthro-nerd]

Sounds like a UTI... my Dr. suggested buscopan to get rid of that 'needing to wee' feeling - but having spoken to others this is a random suggestion apparently! I now take cranberry supplements every day as a preventative. But you should probably visit your GP incase you need antibiotics for a water infection. I hope you feel better soon, it's the worst feeling!

That is a scandalous and irresponsible post to produce on AB. I hope that I have misunderstood you.

[jennyjoan]

Well I bought lemon barley water and cranberry - have drunk a big glass but unfortunately couldn't resist a bit of toast

Karl - no I haven't give birth to chick nor chile -

But to all of yous thanks for replying.

Don't think it is an infection - just a "blockage of sorts" which I hope plenty of fluids will help. Ta Ra

[jennyjoan]

well have a tiny bit of peeing after taking the barley water but I'm thinking the water coming out of me is only what I am drinking. I really do feel bloated.
