Persisting Incontinence Issue

[Ned88]

Hi, I'm new here. I'm 34 years old and have had an issue with incontinence for about seven years. I think it's an overflow incontinence type but I am not sure because of the symptoms.

Each time I urinate, although I have the impression that I have completely emptied my bladder, minutes later I'm sure to have the involuntary leakage. Each time. After it, I don't have this problem anymore until I urinate again. I've been to a urologist (who performed the circumcision on me in 2018, but the problem was there prior to it), I've done a uroflow test and he examined me and concluded that my bladder IS empty after urination. He gave me some medication and basically advised me to avoid stress. It didn't help...

I urinate regularly, not too often and not during the night, and I usually don't feel the urge like some men with this problem. But, once I had this problem after a few beers (that's normal, I know, but this was really sudden and intense). Also, there was once a period in 2020 when I felt the constant urge to urinate for about a day and a half - much pressure on my bladder but barely peeing at all.

Sometimes I feel mild pain on the left or the right side of the bladder, it lasts for a few minutes. I used to feel it in a testicle as well, but a long time ago. At the beginning of urination, my urine flow is a bit uncontrollable, bursting and splattered. As a child, I had a hernia operation. I don't smoke or drink heavily, not even soda drinks.

Thanks in advance for your useful replies. Sorry if my English is not the best, it's not my first language.

Have you had blood tests to check your kidneys have not been damaged? It seems you need more investigations to get to the bottom of this.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, I had ultrasounds and blood tests and it all seemed to be fine. I plan on going to another urologist very soon and am just trying to be prepared for everything and find a useful insight here. The last doctor left a possibility of doing a urethrocystoscopy so I'm willing to do that as well if necessary, although I understand it can be pretty unpleasant.

Urethrocystoscopy sounds like a good idea to complete your investigations.

Your English is perfect btw.

Well first of all your English is perfectly fine. But I have some problems with urgent need to urinate even though I go before I leave home, and many times I've got caught short and wet myself even though I love feeballing but always carry a pair of undies in my rucksack. At least for men you can go behind a tree or down a back alley. Hope your medical stuff gets sorted. I found a knot in a testicle tube or whatever the correct word is got it examined by a male GP said it was normal, not really convinced. Anyway, look after yourself

Thank you. I know how it feels. I hope you sort that issue too or at least we find a way to control it as best as possible. Take care!
