Pelvic Health

Body: 

Well after 2 months into this. I am still going to the bathroom every 1/2 hour. I was hoping it would let up by now. I do void in the tub in the morning and at night on all fours to empty out. Any one who says this is not an illness is kidding. I love the WW posture and do the workout everyday along with the fire breathing. But I am exhausted. I don't plan going anywhere far. I am still having pain and pressure. I am changing up my diet again after changing it before. Of course if I did not have the WW posture I would not be able to do what I do. But I am always tired and can't do much. Well I am sorry to complain just plain tired.

Any suggestions?

Mika, I was looking back through a few of your past posts, and saw that you were supposed to go for some testing on January 31st. Did you get any results from that? Do you actually have to urinate every half hour, or is it just irritation and the feeling of having to pee and there’s nothing much there? - Surviving

No I urinate. I drink a lot of water otherwise I will get bladder infections. I am not going for that testing it is invasive and does not tell anything. So this is not normal?

Mika, if you are asking is this normal with prolapse, I can't say. Lots of members here have had similar issues and I hope we will hear from some of them. I have cystocele and rectocele, but no bladder issues. I only drink when thirsty, I empty carefully, and am blessed not to have bladder issues.

Lots of water followed by lots of peeing seems like a vicious cycle to me. Those kidneys have to work hard all the time. This is the only way that you can prevent getting an infection? - Surviving

That is what the doctor told me to do drink water. Yes I was asking is this normal.

That would be a good question for the doctor. - Surviving

Hi Mika,
I think Surviving is on the right track here. Are you actually prone to bladder infections, or is this a preventative measure suggested by the doctor? And could it be possible that you have a bladder infection now?

If you don't and you are not prone to them, maybe you could reduce the amount of water you are drinking and see if this makes a difference to your frequency.

I am very prone to bladder infections for the last 14 years. If I drink water I do not get them.
Some one told me that I get bladder infections because I do not have enough estrogen in my vagina. Don't know if that is true about the estrogen.
Well I did figure out something else. Most of my stomach pain I think is stomach problems. My husband went to the store and bought a product like beeno. I eat a lot of green veggies, which cause gas. So either I stop eating things like that or will have to take a pill. I can't eat dairy or wheat either. But you know what, after taking the pill I got so much relief, my stomach is actually a lot smaller too. I could not believe the pain I was in. Everything is going haywire. LOL I eat healthy and look where it got me. At least the Amish meat I buy has not caused anything yet. Much more comfortable right now. Sorry I complain but my gosh no wonder people go into ER with pain. I am just happy I could figure it out. Thanks.

Hi Mika, I’m happy too you could work something out. Eating healthy is tricky for it varies with the individual. Foods that create a lot of wind and incapacitate you to the extent you describe can only be considered healthy with a big but in my book.

Maybe, cut back a little on the beans and cabbage etc and inter space eating them with others that you can digest better. I found that was a better way to go. I can get away with certain veges in smaller quantities, but not if I eat them on consecutive days, and others are just going to do it every time no matter what.

And the rest of you doubters, don’t go blaming my cooking!

Cheers, Fab

Fab any time you want to cook for me I would be delighted.

Hi Mika,
You sound like me a few weeks ago. I found I had a severe bladder infection though I had no burning with urinating. When I took 200 C arnica the swelling and inflammation went right away and I also took uva ursi tincture each day and the infection went away. I was amazed at how much better I felt. Hope it helps you. It is miserable to not be able to rest.
