ive had a bladder problem my whole life…im now 18 and it only gets worse. i frequently go to the bathroom during the day. and sometimes i barely make it. i hate going thru this everyday of my life. its annoying and embarrassing. so first why do i even have a bladder problem? and how can i fix it… ill do anything at this point. what would at least help it? certain pills, maybe a surgery, ANYTHING… im willing to do anything so plz help me out.

Sorry to hear you’re going through this, but you’re not alone! Unfortunately no one really knows why some people have bladder problems — it’s the same as asking why someone needs glasses, or has allergies, or any of a million other things that can go wrong with our bodies. Possibly your bladder has just always been smaller than what is normal for your age and body size, so it just can’t hold as much urine as most people’s bladders. Or, you could have a kidney problem or some other metabolic issue which makes your body produce a lot more urine than most people. If it really bothers you (which it sounds like it does), the first step is to talk to your doctor about it, who can ask you some basic questions and maybe narrow down what could possibly going on. There are a few different medications out there that can help with different kids of bladder problems, although none of them work for everybody and you amy have to try a couple of different kinds to see what’s best for you. If you still don’t have the answers you’re looking for at that point, the next step would be to see a urologist (a doctor who specializes in kidney and bladder problems), and they can do some more detailed tests (warning: some of them can be fairly uncomfortable and invasive!). Usually they wouldn’t do surgery unless they find a specific muscle or nerve abnormality that can easily be fixed… but they may have you try medications, and/or recommend some exercises you can do depending on what seems to be going on with your bladder.

I hope this helps!

It has become a lot worse over the pass few weeks and today she can barely move. She says she wants to commit suicide it is so bad.
She has called the doctor and cant get an appointment for 10 days. She needs help today is calling an ambulance unresonable?

An ambulance is for acute emergencies. If your grandmother has had this for the past few weeks, you shouldn’t call for an ambulance. I do suggest, however, driving her to the emergency room in your personal vehicle. You have to remember that ambulances can be a scarce resource. If your grandmother has had this problem for some time now, and she can get into a car, which I’m assuming she can because she can go to the doctors, I suggest bringing her that way. However, if she is refusing to have you take her, and she is contemplated suicide, then call for an ambulance because they can get the police involved to "make" her go. But regardless, if she is threatening suicide, you shouldn’t wait 10 days.

It’s great what they can do now days in Medicine but I am a little bit mixed up on this one. In the old days they removed the bladder and the patient had to wear a bag. Where does the urine go with this artificial bladder?
Looks like California is way behind the times because this has been performed in many areas of the world. Including the U.S. & Canada.

The urine goes into the bladder. It’s a soft, pliable plastic, functioning just like a real bladder.

I am 7 months pregnant and about to start working on yoga exercises and kegels to help prepare me for an easier labor. Should I continue these exercises until I give birth, or should I continue for a shorter period of time???

Nope no reason to stop doing them. They will do you no harm. You should be doing them at least twice a day and keep doing them asasp after the birth, especially if you have tears or stitches as this will help promote blood flow to the site and help it heal quicker.

I have a dog that starting peeing every time she’s let in the house. We’re talking within 1sec-10 mins.

Yesterday my husband brought her in for a bath and to crate her a night and as soon as he placed her in the tub she squatted. He washed her and took her back outside. My husband doesn’t do the ‘dog thing’ so his solution is to just keep her outside. Which is fine, they have a dog house we built for them (all out 2 by 4s, haha), food, water and we still take her on walks and play with her.

But she didn’t have this problem before…well she wasn’t fully house trained but she never made messes so fast. I checked out the ASPCA website and got this:

"If your dog soils indoors, it’s important to visit his veterinarian to rule out medical causes before doing anything else. Common medical reasons for inappropriate urination and defecation include gastrointestinal upset, a change in diet, a urinary tract infection, a weak sphincter, hormone-related problems after spay surgery, bladder stones, diabetes, kidney disease, Cushing’s disease, neurological problems, age-related incontinence and certain medications. Please see our article on Medical Causes of House Soiling in Dogs to learn more."

I know the obvious answer is to take her to the vet but I’m looking for anyone whose had this problem and what they did/turned out.

We have had a similar problem, once it turned out to be a bladder infection, the other time it was caused by a medication (prednisone) that made her drink water like there was no tomorrow. Did you just get her spayed? I think a visit to the vet is probably what you need
