I recently had a sonogram of my bladder and kidneys that came back normal.. although they still do not know whats wrong with me.

i know UPJ obstruction sometimes won’t show up on a sonogram.

Is bladder cancer still one of the possibilities?

You need to have a cystoscope examination done ,its 98% correct and a special urine test done .nobody and i repeat nobody can tell only by looking at a sonogram

I’m doing my homework for my upcoming IVF cycle and I’m nervous about my transfer. My doctor said that once the embryos are transfered they’re going to want me to lay down for a while and are going to use a catheter to drain my bladder? Is it going where I think it’s going? Won’t that hurt, it’s a pretty small opening?

Yes, it’s going where you think it’s going. It’s not painful, only slightly uncomfortable. Good luck!

I drink lots and lots of water, but I have my driving exam in 3 hours which will take 2 hours, so I can’t go to the toilet for 2 hours. If i stop drinking now, will my bladder be empty in 3 hours?

yes

I am 40 and had a tubal ligation in 1995. I had a bladder infection in september and have not had my period for two months. Is this normal?

Most likely you are perimenopausal. The antibiotic shouldn’t have stopped your period. But did you know that bladder infections become more common as a woman enters menopause? It’s one of the signs I guess. I know because I am 41. I too had real regular periods but then got an UTI. Since then, my cycles have been very long ( a 35 day cycle, and now to 45 day cycles). I have a lot of other perimenopausal signs as well. It’s just our age.

or bladder infection…
My grandmother has her antibiatics but I wanted to buy her food that would help with her bladder infection.
what type of fruits? or juices?
are beans good?
cranberry juice does what?

Cranberry Juice is the best. Get; Knudsen Just Cranberry at the store. This is concentrated so mix 1/4 glass of Knudsens and the rest water…
Also get some cranberries at the health food store and just eat them.

I’ll most likely be checked for a bladder infection, and I know the doctor will have to check down there.

I’m not a virgin, but I have had this infection way before anything sexual came along.

But when I’m being checked for the infection, could the doctor tell right away I’ve had sex?

Can someone just explain to me exactly what happens.

Your assuming you have a bladder infection? The doc will be able to determine by your signs/symptoms. BTW if he did need to check "down there", he would be able to tell if you were a virgin or not.

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’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.

Do you always run a high fever with a kidney infection? How do they know just by doing a urine test? How do they know if it’s not a bladder infection instead?
A backache is seen in both types of infection.

the only real difference is location. If you have one you can quickly get the other.
