I keep forgetting to ask this. Does anyone here have problems urinating due to their IBS? My problem is feeling like I have to go a lot, having hesitancy(takes me on average at least 20 second before anything comes out)and sometimes not feeling like I've emptied my bladder completely, so I push the rest out. I was diagnosed with having a urethral narrowing, but no one knows why, and then another dr said I do not have a narrowing, rather I have something called pelvic floor dysfunction which causes all of the muscles down there to be in a constant state of spasm, therefore making urination more difficult for me. About a month ago I had a botox injection put into my external urethral sphincter to try and relax that muscle, it did NOT help in the least and only made my bladder weaker. I also find it odd that it was about a week or so after having that procedure that all this IBS stuff came about that I never had before. I wonder now if there is a connection. Anyways, my urologist keeps doing dilations on me to widen the urethra, and they help sometimes, but when my IBS is acting up and I am C, I have the hardest time peeing. Just wondering if anyone else has this? I am so perplexed by all that my body is doing. Ugh!
