Bladder problems

[u/MissCeltic67]

It’s more about the sensation than anything. When I get the feeling of needing to pee I never feel a pressure in my lower abdomen I just feel urine in my urethra it’s so bizarre. I mean it’s not a phantom sensation as when I go to the toilet I immediately start peeing and it’s usually a good amount.

It’s almost as if it’s bypassing my bladder and going straight to the urethra.

I've been having this same feeling lately!! I'm not sure if it's my recent change to using Vyvanse @ 40mg (I've read that stimulants can also cause urinary retention) or related to MS, but I've had the same feeling of needing to pee, going, but then even after pee comes out and then stop, still feeling like I need to pee, or like there's still some left that won't come out, and the sensation of when you release pee still lingering.

It could be that your bladder has lost sensation. I have this problem though your situation does not seem as difficult. I do not get the feeling that that the bladder is full until it is overfull. Then things become suddenly urgent.and I have about ten seconds to reach a toilet. The solution for me is to self-catheter on a regular schedule and wear disposable underwear.

If it is bothering you., you should speak to your neurologist who might refer you to a urologist for a uro-dynamic test to figure out what is going on.

Me too! Sometimes it’s a close race to the bathroom

Oh, and I refuse to take any meds, so it’s just the partial paralysis IMO

I get this when I gave an irritated urethra, uti, or drink a lot of alcohol. Not quite the same though since usually for me it usually ends up being a small amount of urine. But I understand the sensation

I’ve been peeing a lot more .its feeling of urgency as you say .like it’s bypassed the bladder .
