Incontinence and uncomfortable urination Posted: 02-16-08 03:54am
When I pass urine it feels very
uncomfortable, akin to what I can only
describe as something like a muscle
strain, if that is possible in the vaginal
area. It is not "painful" in the usual
sense, more uncomfortable pain, and does
not burn. The initial passing urine is
fine, it is only towards the end of the
flow when the uncomfortableness begins and
increases as the amount of urine to be
passed becomes less and less. It has
reduced my urine control and meant I seem
to have to go to the toilet as soon as my
bladder is half full. Have experienced bed
wetting a couple of times when not
emptying my bladder before going to bed,
usually I wake up if I need the toilet in
the night. I first had this condition a
few months ago for about 3-4 weeks, but it
stopped completely. It has now returned in
the past couple of days. Like I say the
feeling itself is very hard to describe,
but it is definitely not the usual paniful
burning sensation associated with urinary
diseases.

According to the symptoms you describe of
uncomfortable urination, and increasing
urge to pee and bed wetting, you could be
experiencing some type of urinary
incontinence. The first step in diagnosing
your problem is to request a
microbiological examination of the urine
to confirm or exclude possible infection.
If a urinary infection is present, you can
request antibiotic treatment. If there is
no infection, you can continue with
further vaginal, abdominal and rectal
examinations. Several groups of disorders
are possible such as :
Then, a few tests can be performed to
clarify the condition. You can consult a
gynaecologist about your condition and
request the following diagnostic tests:
1. Clinical tests (stress test and
Bonney’s test);
2. Urodynamic investigations;
3. Cystoureterography;
4. Cystoscopy
