Feel the urge to pee

[SweetyPie]

Today I had dialysis. I have not been making urine for about 6 years now lets be clear on that. Today I have beem having some bladder pain, ill try to explain as best as I can. Feels like when i stretch back i feel pain from my belly button to my bladder. Feel like I have to urinate but lol thats probably not gping to happen. Anyone ever experienced this before??

Yup as no urine test poss they wanted me to 'just fill my bladder' they'll do a scan. People really can make you tired sometimes. It could be a UTI.

How do you fill your bladder with no kidney function?

I have that urge to pee sometimes.  It's not painful, just a bit annoying.  I take it as my bladder letting me know that it's still there

I still produce a little daily but this poses an interesting question.

How would they test for a UTI?  If no urine?

Being a 'Guy' I fear the answer.  The only time I know I've had that kind of cath was while they had me knocked smooth out.

I havr had a catheter before when I Had my first transplant realllllly not fun at all and very uncomfortable. I dont want that. I do plan on telling my surgeon way in the future that if I gget a transplant i dont want a catheter again. Let see how that goes.

I constantly feel like I have to urinate and like you I no longer produce urine. When I feel like this I go sit on the toilet and it passed. Weird I know.

Being on dialysis does not mean no urine production.  For me it meant s high creatinine level.  For my first 4 years on Dialysys what I drank I eliminated the old fashioned way.  Last year  had a heart attack and 3 cardiac surgeries the result being my out put was cut in half. I now take lasix which ups my output to about  75 percent  of my preheat attack level.
