Can pee within minutes of voiding
by Sydney0503, Jun 04, 2003 12:00AM
Hi, I am a 42yr. FEMALE. I would very much like to contact a certain poster in your archives of Misc. Urology under the name of TIKA66. You gave her wonderful advise on a problem she had almost identical of mine. Her post was dated 5/18/03, Dr. responded on 5/20. Since this is 6/4 I would like to see how she made out? There was/is no where in the archive folder to check up on her by posting a comment?
I have the frequent urge to urninate. Literally can pee, get up, sit back down and pee a "stream" again. It may not be long but definitly NOT a few drops. I have frequently been uncomfortable as I can almost feel my uretha (spelling) filling up the moment I leave the toilet. It has become extremely upsetting to me. I have no apparent pain but some minor aching in my abdomen but can't determine if this is normal aches as I always experience some aching at ovulation and time of month. My period is not due for another 2weeks. I have always peed alot and like the other poster always void as soon as I can to avoid infection. This may not have anything to do with it but I did have sex during my period last month (thought I was done) and it was kinda messy. It was within a week I started noticing a sensation when I pee. NOt a burn but definitly a sensation in the uretha area.
I'm sure your advice would be similar to hers so I'd really like to see how she made out as well as your advice (again) to me. BTW, I don't think I drink that much. Could this be just my time of month out of wack? I have experienced some months I pee more than others as is days more than others. BUt this time it is very apparent to the point of distracing and disturbing. Do I go to a gyno, regular phys. or urologist? Thank you very much.
PS> The reason I'd really like to post a question back to the TIKA66 poster is you gave her a number of possible issues from very minor (anti biotics to take care of it) to more serious. I will see my physician but would like to see if she found the problem with her situation since it may help me to focus in one area before I go to another. If her condition was minor and treatable that w/make me feel better too (but I will still see my physican. Some Doctors do tend to drag out "tests" I'd like to do what is the most prudent to rule out the most apparent possiblitiy first. I work and am a single parent so do not have time to keep taking off for Doctors who may not focus in the right area. Sorry for the rambling...THANKS SO MUCH for any help you can give me.

Hello - thanks for asking your question.
You may want to email the administration to see if you can get in contact with TIKA66.
You note a frequent urge to urinate. Urge incontinence occurs when the bladder contracts when it shouldn't. Factors that can lead to urge incontinence include age-related changes in the anatomy of the urinary tract and the physiology of urination, nervous system problems related to conditions such as stroke, or bladder irritation caused by factors such as inflammation or cancer.
I would first eliminate the common causes such as electrolyte abnormalities, infection or diabetes. This can be tested via a urinalysis and routine laboratory tests. If there is no clear cause, then urodynamic testing may be considered in conjunction with a urologist. These tests may include measuring the bladder capacity and measuring the rate of flow of urine during urination.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
