Sarah,
Usually with an infection, there is "pain" associated with the
attempt to urinate--I notice you didn't mention pain. Some doctors say
what you are experiencing can be caused from cystitis of the bladder.
However, yes, adhesions can cause those problems too--if they are
attaching and pulling. You do need help-we know that--please call
your doctor and ask to talk to the nurse, let her know you are miserable--
regardless of all your surgeries--you need help.

Subject: Adhesions on Bladder???
I've recently begun to have problems with my bladder, thinking that I
have to go to the bathroom, when I actually don't. I'm thinking that
either I have a bladder infection, or but most likely I've got
adhesions. But, since there is no way that a doctor will do another
surgery on me after having so many laparoscopy's and a hysterectomy, is
there any way of knowing if these problems are being caused by just an
infection? I'm ready to go crazy going to the bathroom every 1/2 hour. I
know when I get up that very little will come out, but I feel like my
bladder is completly full, and if I don't get to the toilet soon, I will
leak! Any answers would be appreciated!
