hi ladies,

i've been dealing with this flu latley, and it's finally on it's way out, but NOW i seem to be wondering about something ELSE...ok , for the last few days, I've noticed i haven't really urinated all that much, which is somewhat unusual for me. It IS only 3 days before my period, and I can remember times before when right before my period, strange things happen..lol...things having to do with urination, either a lot more than usual, or somewhat less.
BUT, THIS TIME, it feels different. I feel as though I could drink an entire 8oz. glass of water, and not have urinate for at least an hour, and even then, not all that much. It's weird. I feel so darn bloated, it doesn't feel as though it's being held up in the bladder, there isn't that feeling of constantly needing to urinate, no, it's as if it's all getting stored in my entire body, lke I feel so puffy. This isn't the "normal" sort of puffiness before your period (well, maybe some of it is), it's different, it's as though I'm really really puffy!!! My fingers, ankles, face etc...ARE NOT overly puffy or swollen.
If it had something to do with my kidney, I'm pretty sure that's what would happen.

Well, if anyone here has any info. , please post it, because it's driving me nuts, and it feels like I'm going to explode! .. lol ..
it's as if you know you should be urinating more, for what you just drank. I wonder if this could also be hormonal??????

thanks ladies......mydarling

Hi,

It wouldn't hurt to see your doc and rule out a bladder or kidney infection.

I am prone to urine retention - in my case, it's because the pelvic-floor muscles don't work properly.

Hopefully, you'll just find this improving quickly, but if not, again, it's not a bad idea to see your doc and find out what might be going on.

My Darling,
Are you still having this problem?? Oh my gosh, that is happening to me too. I have been drinking so much water and it doesn't feel like I am urinating all that much and I don't even have the urge. I am really afraid of this. That has not ever happened to me before. I feel so dizzy and out of it right now. I had an ultrasound of my bladder and kidneys and they are claiming everything is OK. Has anybody had this problem??? Please, anybody?

If you have been having a hard time with the Flu, that alone is enough to dry you out. You'll need alot of liquid to hydrate yourself before you wuill start to urinate regularly. That would be why you are NOT puffy. Watered down Gatorade...LOTS of it, it's the fasted way to go.

I have had days when I thought I wasn't going as much,but I finally decided that maybe my body was using more fluids,therefore less was becoming "waste",I am no expert,but maybe thats it.
