I'm currently dealing with urinary retention after a bladder ultrasound. No kidney disease. Just urinary retention. I'm not allowed to get bladder botox for my overactive bladder and incontinence til it clears up. The urologist says my constipation might be the cause of my urinary retention. Metamucil and Miralax make me poop all day long. I'm not sure what to do. Constipation is making my life close to miserable along with urinary incontinence. Advice please.
Prunes can be very helpful, too, SM.
Can you reduce your miralax or Metamucil?
Eating lots of fruit, especially apples (unpeeled) and berries, is very helpful, SM. Please also verify with your doctors and pharmacist that you're not on any medications that could be contributing and check the side effects of your medications to see if something can be modified. I hope you both get relief soon!
I have been prescribed opioids and yes I have problems of constipation however I take Linzess before I eat or drink anything and it works.
Hello @A MyLupusTeam Member
I am suffering of bladder retention, my bladder does not empty correctly so I need to use intermittent catheters. I saw a new urologist last monday to get a second opinion and I am going to do all tests again in order to understand why (first urologist did not do the tests correctly).
As I havé more and more weakness in my legs and now it starts to shake a Little I havé to do an EMG. Neurolopus has been evocated but really nothing sure, I am trying not to think about it but… as now I havé insomnia this night :(
I confirm constipation can block the urine flow so yes you will need to eat food that avoid constipation.
Take care of you
