The other night when I was sleeping with my girlfriend I wet the bed. It happened two nights in a row so I went to the doctor and supposedly I have an enlarged prostate. It isn’t cancerous or anything but it is causing me to urinate occasionally when I sleep..but I digress. Since I had wet the bed twice my girlfriend went out to a drug store and purchased two large cases of front folding adult diapers for me to wear. She says to just wear them but I feel a little silly – I mean I would look like a baby. Should I do it or no. I am really confused.

I went to the doctors yesterday after having pains in my lower right side and back of my body and at first it was a really sharp pain then i went to the bathroom then it seemed to go away…i still had annoying sharp pains so i went to the ER they told me i could have had a kidney stone that i passed and now have a bladder infection from it….im only 19 years old and dont suffer from any STDs or enlarged prostate so what are the main causes of what i have?

For several hours now I have been getting increasing pain in my bladder area, I do have an Enlarged Prostate and am taking no meds at the moment, I am relieving myself normally just the pain is getting worse. I am a 46 year old Male.. Not sure how much longer I should let this go on.. Ideas??

I’m a 26 year old male and for the last few months I’ve noticed an increase in the amount I urinate. I usually need to urinate about every 1. I can hold it in but most of the time feel like I need to go. I feel that I am emptying out my bladder when I go to the restroom but still get trickles of urine coming out a little later. Along with the urination, I’ve been experiencing dry mouth. I’m not diabetic (I got checked 2 months ago). I have the feeling it may be overactive bladder but I have control and also think it may be an enlarged prostate but I have no trouble with the flow and I’m pretty young for that. Does anyone have any clue what this might be?

husband was told yesterday that his bladder isnt emptying properly so has been told he needs a partial prostate gland removal.yet his gland isnt that enlarged.he was also told he has back pressure on his kidneys.he doesnt want to have the op so has anyone been in this situation and found alternative treatment for this problem? any advice appreciated. one worried husband…..sue

The bladder is connected to the kidneys by two tubes called ureters that carry urine into the bladder, where it is stored until you pass it into the outside world through a single tube called a urethra. An overactive bladder is a condition that results from sudden, involuntary contraction of the muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder. Overactive bladder is also referred to as urge incontinenceand is a form of urinary incontinence (unintentional loss of urine). An infection of the bladder is one of the more frequent sites of infections in humans.

Are you the victim of bladder infection? Do you feel the urge to urinate urgently and frequently? If yes, then you are suffering from cystitis which is a urinary tract infection caused due to the E-coli bacterium. The bacterium restricts the complete flow of urine from the urinary bladder. It sticks to the bladder walls and lead to severe urinary issues.

The infection is accompanied by several symptoms that get aggravated in long run. The bladder infections are usually treated with help of antibiotic medicine that kills the bacterium that is responsible for the infection. The antibiotic work very well with women and provide relief with two to three days.

Bladder infection mainly occurs among women due to shorter urethra. Their anatomy increases the chances of the syndrome. The phenomenon is also seen among men and children. The rate of occurrence is lower among the men. The condition is also accompanied by diseases such as kidney infections, prostatitis, epydidymitis.

There are several reasons that lead to bladder infection. Men acquire it due to several reasons. This happens due to enlarged size of the prostate gland. The prostate is the gland that is located near the urethra and eliminates urine from the body. The bladder infection can also occur due to abnormalities in urinary tract. Such factors restrict the out flow of urine from the body.

The healthy bladder is an amazing organ; it removes the vast majority of excess liquid from our body (liquid is also lost through things such as sweat, tears, and bowel movements) and can hold a large quantity of liquid before it needs to be emptied. A healthy bladder is shielded by a protective lining that helps block the effects of irritants in the urine from damaging the bladder wall. As men age the prostate increases in size and urinary flow is often affected.
