hi ladies,

i am curious if any of you guys are having this problem... getting urine to pass and is it possibly another one of these peri symptoms? sometimes i get up at night (a few times )to pee, and can't. very frustrating. then after about an hour or so, i can pee. also if i run the faucet it makes it a little easier, and i have this sensation of always wanting to go only i don't. i don't have a uti either so this is weird to me. please let me know if any of you are going thru this.

also, i will be seeing a female gyno next monday,so i will be sure to mention this to her. she specializes in menopause so her ad says so i can only hope i have finally hit the jackpot with a good doctor. take care ladies and be well.

Okay. Sometimes I think the bladder gets so full you can't pee, but I have also had the problem of not being able to pee at all, and I had to go to the doctor to get stretched. I don't think this is necessarily menopause-related, but I certainly would tell the doctor about it. The doctor told me not to hold it in for long periods of time, because that's what does you in. Good luck!

Yes, this happens to me exactly as you have described. I haven't spoken to the doctor about it. I guess it's been more of an inconvenience than a problem. Come back and let us know what the Dr. says. I want to know too!!

I finally figured out that this often happens to me for a few days right after a period ends. It is always at night. Strangely, I have the exact opposite problem right before my period of having to go every 20 minutes.

hi leanne,

thanks for letting me know you have the same issue. i hope it is hormonal and not something else. i don't need anything else on top of this crap, plus issues at home. i am seeing a new doctor next monday so i will be sure to let you know what she says
