Feeling like you have to pee all the time
This is directed more toward males:
Does anyone with a severe flare of UC feel like the have to pee all the time but most times can’t or have to force it out and have a weak stream. Also, embarrassingly, have difference in their ejaculations? Small amount of semen that weakly dribbles out.
I feel these two are related, and maybe the inflammation is pressing on something causing the issue. The constant feeling that I need to pee sometimes drives me crazy. The other issue, much less important or bothersome but wanted to see if anyone also had an opinion.
I also have days where my legs feel very sore or heavy. Often goes hand in hand with the days i feel that constant urgency to urinate.
If anyone could shed light on this or let me know if they have had similar issues I would appreciate it.
I’m assuming it’s just more secondary manifestations of this awful disease.
Thanks.
HI
1, I would definitely reach out to your GI and let him/her know about your symptoms. Although I am a female, I can relate to the urgency and feeling of having to use the restroom a lot. Of course, I am not a doctor, but I do believe the inflammation has something to do with this as these symptoms only occur when I am in a bad flare.
As far as legs feeling sore and heavy, I have experienced this as well. I find that when this happens to me I am anemic and dehydrated.
Definitely reach out to your doctor though. You may need to get some imaging done so they can pinpoint inflammation or not.
Keep us posted.
