Title: Bladder Problems
Post by: toffeecushion on October 19, 2016, 10:36:07 AM

Do any of you ladies who have bladder problems find them worse when sitting down.  If I sit down I feel like I am desperate for the toilet, if I stand up the urge goes away.  Maybe I'm just strange, just wondered if it was significant.

Thanks Sparkle, I was wondering if I have the start of a prolapse.  I have to go to the toilet all the time and am often bursting by the time I get there.  I also find find that sometimes I feel the need to go straight after just going.  Not sure if that could be caused by a prolapse or not.  Going to have to go to the doctors I think.

See your GP or Practice Nurse?  Checking if it's a prolapse?

Toffee cushion I have the same as you, and wondered about prolapse.  When I sit down if I don't get in the right position it feels like I have something 'up there' that I'm sitting on!

I had total prolapse (so I was told) from 23 up until my hysterectomy at 32, but it was the uterus/cervix that caused the most discomfort and once they were gone I didn't notice problems until recently x
