Fungal infection and water
Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2021 5:02 pm
I've had a UTI (cleared) and now a fungal infection (being treated). Because my symptoms went on for ages and I couldnt see an NHS GP I ended up at a private doctor. He and a GP on NHS direct went on about me having an overactive bladder. I did have symptoms of the infection but because I went on about endless loo trips they picked up on this fact.
I was a bit surprised by this as I've always been very fit and walk a lot, do pilates and I feel my pelvic wall is very strong. It has scared me somewhat. The private doctor's bedside manner left a lot to be desired and he even drew a picture of a bladder and what happens to the wee!
Does anyone know what exactly this is - I can control my wee to a certain extent although I don't drink a lot of fluids and have to know where toilets are.
Also as I'm having to drink loads of fluids I've become paranoid about my next feeling of wanting to go to the loo - it's been exhausting! So I've been trying not to focus on this - but it is hard. So is this a thing - if you keep thinking of what is happening to your bladder do you automatically want a wee or is that too much of a mind over matter thing. Surely the wee doesnt say, oh look she's thinking about us again, lets exit now (I'm trying to be light hearted about this).
