Need the loo all the time

[kitten_uk2]

you will probably find this funny, but it really is starting to upset me, you see i cant go an hour without going to the loo, this gets worse when im nervos, im taking 2 tablets for this which dont seem to be working , i think my doctor has given up on me, has anyone else had bladder problems?

[confused115]

oh dear, i used to have that too.. especially when i went to bed, id need the toilet all the time. did you used to hold it in? and wait before going to the toilet that probabaly made your bladder weak if you did, im ok now so after a while im sure the tablets will work just make sure you go to the toilet as soon as you have to.. sorry if this doesnt help :) xx

its not funny when you have to keep diving for the loo.i have ibs so i know what its like,i was just told to take Immodium,before i go out,not what i wanted for permanant life.

Double voiding may help. Not sure if you have tried this or not. After urinating stand up, wait a few secs then sit again and wee. You should find you manage a fair amount and this properly empties your bladder.

has your doctor tested you for diabetes

prostate problem? Anyway, don't let your doctor give up on you. Ask if there are alternative treatments; or ask for a second opinion - a fresh pair of eyes can often help to see what's wrong.

Hi Kitten,I am wondering if you have a bladder infection or the like which would explain the tablets the Dr. has given you,if they are an antibiotic to help with any UTI you may have,be sure to finish the complete course as directed and if the problem is still not resolved,please do go back to the Dr. for further help.Usually a course of treatment will clear it up so don't despair! Hope you get on OK.

Have you tried drinking cranberry juice? That's supposed to help.

i was tested for diabetes, while pregnant, my bladder problem actually worsened after my baby was born, i was on a bladder training programme for awhile, i just have to keep going, the tinyest bit makes me go, and i just cant hold. im on my own with this problem arnt i?

It shounds very much like irritable bladder syndrome, which is quite common (especially since it's worse when you are nervous). Try Googling to find out about it. I have been looking through and this link is very informative

Good luck!
