Anyone have bladder problems due to biking

[BeeLady]

Hi,

I'll give the info to the urologist later today. You might want to make an appointment with a urologist in your area as I have a feeling that's what my DH will recommend. He did say he thought a urologist would be better to treat the condition than an ob/gyn. But I'll get back to you either as a reply or in a PM this evening.

I'm glad that from your initial post he didn't think cycling was causing the problem -- so ride on!

Actually, I have had a similar problem caused by a bad saddle. I got so inflamed down there that my urinary tract was constricted for a few hours and I could only get it going when my bladder got so full that it finally overcame the resistance. If you also have crotchal numbness and burning/tingling, then you could be having some nerve compression caused by saddle ergonomics.

I now use a saddle with a cutout and life is better.

Hi Boxer,

I showed the urologist your reply. His response was you should see a urologist. He does not know if you were given the antibiotic (macrodantin) due to a bladder infection or for some other reason, but a bladder infection would not usually cause the problems you described either.

He doesn't believe a bicycle seat or inflammation caused by a bike seat would cause the problems you are describing. So if the symptons continue please see a urologist.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help but hopefully the problem will resolve on its own.

I agree that you need to see a doctor and/or a specialist.

The only time I've heard of someone needing to urinate and being unable to, the man was diagnosed with diabetes.

Please get everything checked out and explore every possibility. You're not back to normal yet, so do follow up!

Hugs and butterflies,

It sounds rather urgent

I'm sure she managed to "go" sometime in the last 5+ years...

Also, whatever saddle she had is probably long since discontinued.
