Lower back pain and frequent urination can be due to spinal causes causing pinched nerve, diabetes, interstitial cystitis, overactive bladder syndrome, neurological diseases, urinary incontinence and bladder dysfunction. In females, urethritis has to be ruled out. It is a primarily female syndrome in which women suffer from irritative bladder symptoms (urinary frequency, urgency, burning and a hesitant or slowed urinary stream) in the absence of any objective urologic findings.
I am 32 and in the last 3 months I started urinating very frequently. On a side note I have one functioning kidney but I have had only one for years. The kidney is perfectly healthy as if I had donated the other one. I have been to a Nephrologist and to the Urologist. The urologist told me I was not voiding my bladder completely. I feel like I am as full amounts were coming out each time I go. The problem is I urinate sometimes every 30 minutes and sometimes every hour.
The infection could be at any level from bladder to ureter to kidney. It could also be due to a stone in the urinary tract. What you need is a urine culture and sensitivity test done. You can also give it for culture and sensitivity in a sterile bottle provided by the lab. This will tell you what organism is causing the infection and what antibiotic will kill it permanently.
I recently had what was diagnosed as a gall bladder attack. I had a scan of some sort done to "study" my gall bladder, and the result was that I actually have an "overactive" gall bladder. The attack lasted a full week although the intense pain lasted two days. For that week, I was rarely hungry and ate only fat free and cholesterol free foods. Since that week, I have felt totally fine and have been eating whatever I want.
HI, You sound like you have the classic symptoms of overactive bladder. Overactive bladder (OAB) is driven by the strong ugency to urinate. It commonly causes urinary frequency and many patients get up at night to void. About a thrid of overactive bladder patients can't make it to the toilet and leak urine on the way.
Causes of blood in urine other than the two causes that have been ruled out include kidney infections, kidney disease, trauma, bladder stones, Interstitial cystitis, tumors, etc.
In men prostatitis can present with all the symptoms described above.
Additional investigations required include blood tests to check for kidney function and a cystoscopy to check for injury to the bladder lining.
Have they checked for bladder stones? That can cause an overactive bladder (which is what you describe). You could also have a small bladder obstruction? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3126063/ I'd want them to look into this for you.
The symptoms that you are describing are basically those of a person with a 5 mm kidney stone. I've had many stones over the years and those are the symptoms that I have every time with smaller and larger stones, with the possible exception of a POSSIBLE bladder wall thickening and that certainly not a definite. Don't worry yourself to death about anything until you have this additional test done.
I have had blood in my urine for 2 months now and I have had stomach cramps similar to menstrual cramps lately. I also have a history of kidney stones. I go next week for my cat scan and see if I have stones or something that may show up. I am worried but I always do, but this time I haven't been in pain like I was the other times I had stones it just seems different. I also worried about Bladder cancer or kidney cancer, but the symptoms doesn't exactly fit there either.
i have urinary frequency for quite some time. It is different from UTI, i need to go bathroom very often like around 30- 50 minutes, if i drink water. If i don't drink water i need to go to bathroom one and half hour or two. Usually i need to go bathroom a lot in the morning, but not too often in the afternoon. But my bladder feels sore a lots of time. like pressure.
In Dec, ultrasound showed hydronephrosis and hydroureter with stones again in the lower pole of the kidney. Nothing was done other than observation. In Jan, a bunch of small stones passed naturally. Last week, Feb, a mag3 renal scan and ultrasound were done that showed hydronephrosis and hydroureter still present but no stones in the kidney. The uptake and washout of urine from the kidney was slow compared to the other kidney (about 70% vs 30% function for good and bad kidney instead of 50-50).
I ended up having kidney surgery at 25weeks with my first because the stones were too large to pass. Now Im 32weeks with my second and i have passed 12 stones since 9weeks pregnant. Its miserable. I had to stop taking my prenatal vitamins because the calcium blocks my kidneys so they switched me to folic acid instead. I decreased my calcium intake. And don't eat alot of green vegetables since those have a tendency to cause stones.
You just gotta let the stones pass on there own.
Do you have any other abnormal symptoms?
The reason I ask about what kind of scan was used to make the assessment, is that not all types of stones show up on X-rays. Cystine kidney-stones, for instance, won't show up on an X-ray/KUB and can only been seen with a CT or ultrasound.
The other day i went to use the bathroom and when i urinated it burned pretty bad. I have always had UTI's and Kidney infections plus Kidneys stones on top of many bladder infections but all the doctors do is give me antibiotics and it clears up and when i go back to the doc. i always seem to have them again. in my teens i would have them so much and when the doctors said i had blood in my urine they would ask the famous ?
s usually no mistaking the symptoms — kidney stones, especially, can cause excruciating pain. Bladder or kidney stones can also cause both gross and microscopic bleeding.
Enlarged prostate. The prostate gland — located just below the bladder and surrounding the top part of the urethra — often begins growing as men approach middle age. When the gland enlarges, it compresses the urethra, partially blocking urine flow.
Gross hematuria (blood in urine) visible to naked eye is seen in kidney and bladder stones, cancer of kidney, UTI or urinary tract infection, sickle cell anemia, bladder endometriosis (in females), low platelet count, bladder injury and bladder infections. Apart from urine examination, you would need some other blood tests, imaging tests and maybe cystoscopy.
Since you also have a sore throat, a streptococcal infection involving both the throat and the kidney should also be looked into.
for overactive bladder. Some of your symptoms could be IC. There are symptom surveys that you can take that will help your MD determine if you have IC. There are special test that can show the bladder lining to verify IC.
I have had a pinching pain down there a few times which with previous kidney stones for me meant it dropped into my bladder and my symptoms were then all gone.
My situation and question is this. I do not have health insurance right now and cannot afford to go to the urologist for self pay ($600 min). If the urinary urgency is so bad at times and I've had that pinching pain a few times, doesn't it sound like the stone is right there at the bladder drop and just stuck and not dropping?
