First off this isn't about having a UTI (urinary tract infection), there's already some threads about that. I'm just having some erm trouble that I was wondering if anyone has also had or knows anything about it?


I've been to the doc, and I know I don't have a UTI, but for a couple weeks I've felt like I've had this pressure on my bladder on and off, and I am not entirely sure why. I have had some constipation which may be the case, but I don't know if that is just what is doing this.


I don't have any burning or anything, but it just feels like theres a weight where my bladder is, and it gets very uncomfortable. It makes me feel like I haveto go more, but I don't pee anymore than usual, and when I keep trying to go not much happens.It does get better when I don't feel like my intestines are cramping/full.


I have started taking metamucil in hopes it will get things going. I just get afraid that what if I'm stuck with this? The odd thing is though, my husband has complained about the same symptoms (bladder pressure/constipation/sometimes poor urine flow) that I've had and his started about the same time mine did. His though has gotten better for the most part.


Can constipation/bladder problems be contagious? My dad had a bug (I think flu or some respiratory thing) and we both got this way about a week after seeing him (we visit about once a week).


Any help/suggestions/advice anything would be appreciated! Thanks. Edited by: Galadriel
