Symptoms Of What?

[bobbyab]

Anyone feel able to make sense of these symptoms? Last year or so, I have had very frequent urinary infections, at least 8, and blood in urine during infections. (probably never had an infection before this). Also found out I have diabetes 2, and have had episodes of recurrent bladder stones (uric acid stones)and a kidney stone which has dissolved with treatment (I have gout). Last cystoscopic examination found red patches in bladder wall, which I have to go back to have re-examined in 3 months. I had a bladder infection at the time, so he wants to see what the bladder is like when clear. I have found over the last year and a half that when I get out of bed or sometimes when I stand up, that this causes an urge to pee. Often I find I dribble on the way to the toilet if I do not make a conscious effort to hold back. Bending to lift the toilet seat also causes leakage. When I have an infection it is very difficult to hold back urination, but then I think that is probably to be expected.
