Bladder problems

[eat2live]

Hi Friends

well its a sensitive subject so sorry, but need some advice...my OH tells me to go to the GP, when i go for a pee which is often at times...but whilst weeing the flow slows right down and sometimes i have to sqeeze it out if you get what i mean🙄

and sometimes i go and have a wee, then 5 mins after i need a nother wee, its the fact that at times i feel like i cant empty my bladder completley thats is worrying, i have had this for a while now so i doubt its an infection,

could it be my age 50?, my sugar numbers are in good control, any ideas anyone please?

Listen to your other half and go the the doc.
I can't tell whether you're female or male. If you're male you could have a prostate problem (apparently common in the over 50s). If you're female, I can't think of anything that could cause this other than a UTI.

Hi eat2live, have checked back on previous posts and can see your female so we can rule out prostate X-D but regardless a trip to the GP is def in order. Seems to be a lot of uti's going round at the min

Hi

Could be UTI or perhaps prolapse of womb interfering with urinary flow ?, best get it checked out - don't persevere with unpleasant symptoms, good luck 🙂

You probably have tried this, already. When you finish wee-ing, stay where you are. Just breathe out and relax. Then attempt to wee again even though you don't have signs that you want to. I sometimes expel as much the second time as the first! TMI .....

I really ought to make an appt meself to see the lady GP I otherwise have to see about me 'ormones (lack thereof) LOL

Whoever gets any sensible advice, tell the other. Deal?

Have just come across this thread....I have been to the doctor's this morning with the same problem!!! She examined me and said i have a slight prolapse and is referring me to urology for further investigation....there is no infection so antibiotics would be of no use...so am now awaiting to hear from the hospital!!!

It has took me a year to pluck up courage to go...😱😱

Will keep in touch!!!!!

EVE X 🙂
