Pain In Bladder/prostate Area-relieved By Urinating/bowel Mv Posted: 06-21-05 23:17pm
I'm a 61 year old male and for over 3
years have had pain in the
bladder/prostate area which is relieved by
urinating or having a bowel movement.
When I need a bowel movement my pain is
much more intense. I've had my prostate
removed (they found a small amount of
cancer trying to find the cause of my pain
but that didn't help).
I've had mri's and colonoscopies (2) and
looks into the bladder and nothing found.
I continue having the problem. I'm now
thinking that maybe simple gravity is
causing the problem.
If my lower colon gets bowel built up and
it's laying across the bladder then that
could be causing the problem but i'm not
sure that's possible that they are in that
position. When I need to have a bowel
movement my bladder seems to have almost
no capacity as I have pain with only a
teaspoon of urine but the pain is relieved
by urination and relieved even more by
having a bowel movement.
I'm wondering if a sling around the lower
colon and/or bladder, keeping them
separate, could be the answer. My docs
(i've had many) can't figure it out. Can
anyone help me with this? Thanks.
