Bladder issues

[LE]

I'm looking for some advice please as I'm getting myself very worried.

When I was pregnant about 18 months ago I felt that I was leaking urine after I had pee'd. It would happen when I stood up to wipe.

I then had my baby and had a massive 3rd degree tear after a forceps delivery. Pushing too long etc. I still have the same urine issue.

I went to my gp last week who said I have vaginal prolapse of the bladder and rectum although she said they were mild.

I am worried because I appear not to be fully emptying my bladder and I am concerned it is Becuase I have a tumour somewhere in my pelvis etc pressing on the bladder. The reason I'm worried it's no Becuase of the prolapse as everything I read talks about having trouble emptying your bladder with a more advanced prolapse rather than mild...

Has anyone had this problem with dribbling after they have finished urinating?

Thanks

Also should at I've had urine tests etc an all normal and clear.

I also had my ovaries checked about the 5 month pregnant mark as I had had functional cysts at my 12 week scan which apparently is common once first pregnant. Anyway they were gone by the 20 week scan.

Hi. I dont know much about this but what did your doctor say when you went. Is there any treatment for it?

It's very common to have a prolapse after pregnancy and birth she said, particularly with the extent of tearing I had after labour.

But what's worrying me is what seems to be me not emptying my bladder fully. Now this is listed as a symptom of prolapse but because I have health anxiety I ruin myself in knots worrying its from ovarian cancer for example as this also causing you to retain urine. My gp explained to me that of t was from ovarian cancer then I would need to have a massive tumour and it wouldn't be just a dibble at the end that I would be worrying about, I wouldn't be able to empty my bladder almOst at all. She has referred me to the gyno physio. I'm going today so I guess I will be able to get her advice as they see this daily with pelvic floor problems and prolapses etc.

My gp said I couldgo for a pelvic scan if I want but she does not feel it is necessary as everything I am telling her is symptoms of the prolapse. It's just putting my trust in them that they are right.

I had quite a traumatic birth due to my bub being an 11 pounds! I didn't get the prolapse but still feel like my bladder is never totally empty. I find drinking more water believe it or not helps, also when you are doing a pee, lean over/down as much as you can as it helps to empty your bladder more. Good luck :)

Thank klg

Yeah I've been doing that and I'm finding quite a bit is coming out but I coul literally sit there for 10 mInutes and I can get more and more out. I'm terrified I've got something blocking it from emptying other than a mild prolapse?

It's gettin to point I don't want move as I just can't bear to notice it. I will see what the physio says this afternoon and post.
