no urge to urinate
Comments

I have been struggling with this as well. Its not so much that I don't have the urge to urinate, but that I seem to leak throughout the day. I have to wear a pad on a daily basis. I was told it is a result of either the radiation or the surgery, they aren't sure. They are referring me to a urologist, so hopefully he can put an end to this nasty incontinence. Have you considered seeing a urologist yourself? I agree with you cancer sucks! Best of luck to you. Cheryl0

I am with you both!!! I had not much urge to urinate for months after surgery and chemo. Then the dreaded leakage began. Some days I'm leaky some I'm not. I had the run around also from my dr's blaming it on surgery or chemo. Anyway I went to see a urologist. He put me on Vesicare. It did help and I took it for several months. It was also recommended to do Kegal exercises and to try and empty your bladder completely when you go to the bathroom. That has seemed to help. I still occasionally have some leakage (mainly from stress) and I use a liner daily. It has improved quite a bit though. Hope it get better!!cheryltaco said:I have been struggling with this as well.
