Passing urine

[Almostthere12]

Sometimes I find it a little harder to pass urine, especially when having a flare up.......anyone else have this problem

[FRreedman]

Yes, I do. I've been told it is due to the intestines squashing the bladder and urethra, making it difficult for urine to pass. I have found that farting as I begin to wee, releases the pressure and makes the flow a little better. Good luck, keep well and stay safe.

Thanks for the explanation, won’t worry now

Yes, I agree with FRreedman . My problem is I'm too scared to go for a wee in case more comes out than was intended, if you get my drift! 🙂.

Yes I think the bowel puts pressure on the bladder I get this a lot x

Also I find that the day before a bad flare up starts I am peeing every 15 to 30 minutes and heaviness in pelvic area.
