Pee Pee

[jennyjoan]

Anybody tell me what to do to get a good pee pee (sorry for being crude) there are times I am "dying" to go and all I get is an egg cup. This happens quite a lot through the day - and by the way I drink a lot of water.

Can I something over the counter to help me - as when I "finish" sometimes i feel I have to go again. "no doctors please"

You could have a mild bladder infection.

Ask at the Pharmacy, lots of them have continence advisers now.

PS - Urination isn't crude and most definitely safe to say in the health topic.

Your not alone jenny, I can have a pee and 5 min later want to go again, and the egg cup thing is the same for me too.

I've had a test for bowel cancer, prostrate etc, and my Doc said it was my age, 70.

Dam and ****, I've given my age away now.

It's quite common and you mustn't reduce fluids but they say to practice holding on a bit longer gradually each day to re educate the bladder.

Easier said than done I think.

Although I'm not 70, I recently had the same symptoms. A urine test showed an unexplained bladder infection which cleared completely after three days anti-biotics.

Had to rush to the loo before I had chance to say that I was told by the female GP to drink plenty.

I completely disagree with methyl.
The only possible solution is to ignore the symptoms and just hope for the best. Never fails to work.

Doctors eh? What do they know with their book learning?

[douglas9401]

Indeed.

No, I don't buy the "bladder infection" theorists.

It does sound like, quite a common condition in women, called.."bladder voiding dysfunction." This being lack of co-ordination between muscles of the pelvic floor, bladder and urethra.......

There is nothing that a pharmacist can give you for relief of your symptoms and if it is "no big deal" then ...live with it.

[pastafreak]

Would pelvic floor exercises be of any help?

[Sqad]

pasta.........indeed they may well be helpful.

It is just that my sister had a visitor on Sat ( a young fella) and he went to toilet and my sister could hear him (I was visitor too) and she said he was going like Niagara Falls - god I'd love that - I feel a good flood from me would me feel good.
