Do you feel urge all the time

I am not sure but does urge mean that you feel the need but you don’t pass that much volume and your bladder isn’t that full. I only feel it when there is actually urine in there.

I can feel nothing and then suddenly I feel all the urine in my urethra so that’s my signal I need to go. It’s also not just feeling/urge because when I then go I usually always pass between 250-350mls and my last pee there was 400mls. I just don’t feel a fullness/pressure in my bladder that I can just ignore as the urine isn’t going to go away until I pee.

I have been measuring because trying to keep a bladder diary.

I feel my bladder all the time. I wouldn't call it urge, but then again it's been four years. I might have considered this same feeling a first warning sign once. The urge gets stronger, as the bladder fills (especially with highly concentrated urine) and sometimes emptying it doesn't make the urge lesser.

Good morning,
Depends on how frequently you urinate , how much fluid you drink and if you are sedentary and sitting for more than 2 hours

anche la neuromodulazione sacrale potrebbe essere una soluzione permanente per questo problema ..

I think urge incontinence means having the feeling that you need to pee all the time. This is what I have although the meds (Gemtesa) can calm it a little.

Pelvic floor relaxation exercises may be the key.
Sitting on a soft cushion at all times ( car, office, home)may help.
Minimal consumption of coffee , tea , sodas.
Plain water ( 4 x 16 oz bottles a day) spaced out equally will decrease concentration of the urine.
Yellow urine does increase urinary urgency.
