if urine is not coming what to do

Aayan

I am really starting to get worried here. For the past few days, I’ve barely been able to pee, like if urine is not coming at all! It’s super uncomfortable, and I’ve tried drinking more water, hoping that would help, but nothing really changes. I went to the doctor and he just said to keep an eye on it, but it’s stressing me out. The feeling is just awful, like my bladder is full but no urine is coming out when I try to go. I’m also experiencing this weird pain in my lower abdomen, and sometimes my back feels tight too. I mean, I’m freaked out, what if it’s something serious? Like if urine is not coming, does that mean there’s a blockage or something really wrong with my kidneys? I just keep thinking about all the what-if scenarios. Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do? If urine is not coming, how do I know when to panic and rush to the ER? Should I give it more time or do I need to push for further testing? I'm just a bit lost here and really need some advice from you guys.

Doctors' responses

When urine is not coming as it should, it can definitely be concerning, and you’re right to consider the potential seriousness of the situation. The symptoms you describe, like feeling that your bladder is full but being unable to urinate and experiencing lower abdominal or back pain, could suggest a few possibilities that warrant careful consideration. One potential cause could be urinary retention, where urine cannot be expelled from the bladder, which is often due to an obstruction like an enlarged prostate in men or possibly a urinary tract infection, which can affect both men and women. Since you mentioned that drinking more water hasn’t improved the situation, it’s important not to delay seeking further medical evaluation if these symptoms persist or worsen. You may need imaging studies like an ultrasound to assess for blockages or deeper urinary tract issues. Immediate attention is necessary if you’re entirely unable to urinate, as a full bladder can become quite painful and lead to kidney damage from the back-up of urine, or if you develop fever or severe pain, which may indicate an infection or more acute problem. If you haven’t already, it would be advisable to return to your healthcare provider to discuss the developments in your symptoms and consider requesting a referral to a urologist for a more detailed examination. Until then, avoid substances that could worsen urinary retention like caffeine or alcohol, and monitor your symptoms closely. Making a list of any other symptoms and potential triggers or patterns can provide your doctor with valuable context about what might be happening. Maintaining awareness is crucial, but equally important is seeking timely treatment if you do reach a point where you’re unable to urinate at all or your pain becomes unmanageable.
