Bladder leaking and pain etc

Hi I'm late 20s and I have a lot of bladder pain and I leak a lot I'm told that they see protine in my urine and often think I have a slight infection but can't always be sure 100% I know when they had to do a bladder scan and I thought I'd gone there was still 400 mils in my bladder that was done as an extra test in a n e once and it was a bit alarming. I often feel I need to go and It hurts to go or I don't realise I'm so full and end up needing to rush and I find that I'm often getting symptoms of systitis really frequently
And the lower abdominal pain goes along with that. Does this need looking in to or is there anything I can do to help my self at home on the long term with this. And is this normal?

Re: Bladder leaking and pain etc

Thank you for this question and it looks as though you should see your GP for a referral to a Urologist to investigate the cause of the incomplete emptying of your bladder. A residual of 400ml will certainly predispose you to having recurrent infections due to the fact that there is a pool of urine at risk for the development of any infection. At your age the cause is likely to be a narrowing of the urethra (the outlet pipe) and a simple dilatation to open the outlet will enable you to empty your bladder more easily, and thus reducing the residual and so reduce the risk of future infection and pain.
