Stage 5 renal patient, catheter removal done, have strong urge to urinate. When will I feel normal?
Patient: The sensation to pee is strong, but can't--saw a urologists today and she says ttha my bladder is empty.  She had a cathether placed and removed because there was no need to keep it in--when does the sensation ends?  I am also stage 5 renal patient  expecting to stop, so no surprises, but the sensation/urge--how long til I feel normal? Doctor: hi as you are stage 5 CKD patient, the urine output is going to be low and will cease as the disease progresses. The sensation of urge to pass urine when you have no urine in the bladder could be due to bladder spasms. the bladder spasms could be due to cystitis or due to neurological problem with the bladder. First to rule out bladder infection (cystitis) by doing urine routine test and treat with antibiotics. If no infection contact your Doc , to prescribe some anti spasmodics for bladder spasms.
