What Causes Difficulty In Passing Urine?
Question: I am a 63 yr old woman when I get up during the night I can't pass urine but when I get up in the morning and have a drink of water about 15 mins later I am able to pass urine I try to drink more water during the day I am waiting to go for an ultra sound I am very healthy otherwise and don't take any medication
Brief Answer:
Nothing worrisome if no symptom present...
Detailed Answer:
Hi there my dear,
Trying (force) to pass the urine early in the morning is not necessarily related to any health problem as long as you are feeling healthy.
If you are also having:
- pain
- burning
- itchiness
while passing the urine, that could be considered a problem.
It is great that you are going to run an ultrasound. If I was your caring doctor would also ask to do :
- vaginal swab testing (swabbing the vaginal mucosa before collecting urine)
- midstream urine analysis
- complete blood work
Depending on the tests results, specific treatment will be prescribed.
Meanwhile, I suggest to increase water intake during the day, and continue to be healthy as you are now.
