Does anyone have a distended but soft abdomen

Mine doesn’t feel hard or firm at all.

It is large though and larger than I think it should be at my weight although as I have a B Belly it’s hard to tell I guess.

Sensation when i need to pee has changed

Over the last few years the sensation has changed. I don’t feel pressure on my bladder when I need it’s like it bypasses that and I can feel all the urine right in my urethra. It’s not just a sensation I can ignore because there is a fair amount of pee in there ready to come out and when I go to the bathroom I immediately pee a good volume.

Any idea why I wouldn’t feel the pressure in my bladder as the first sign I need to go.

This causes me so much anxiety.

Urostomy advice please

So I am looking in to getting a Urostomy as but I know it’s a last resort and for me it actually is because I can’t eat without being in horrendous pain even things that are listed as safe on the IC diet.

Anyway since all this kicked off with my bladder I have tried the diet, I have tried reducing stress by working at home, OAB meds Solifenacin, Tolterodine, Mirabegron, Oxybutynin also nerve meds such as Pregablin, Gabapentin, Duloxetine, Naproxen. I also took 8 different antibiotics for over 2 years for embedded uti.

I have practiced bladder training and Pelvic floor exercises. I was abused as a child and have so much trauma that I can’t have anything in my vagina so I can’t do Botox or Bladder instillations as I couldn’t cope. I am praying my Urologist will understand this.

Has anyone had a Urostomy and not had to do Botox and bladder instillations.

What does the blood tests check for

I was sent for blood tests to check my blood sugar. I was sent again a week later as it showed alkaline phosphate was elevated and doctor phoned to say this was due to my low vitamin d.

Would these tests also show low Vitamin B12 as I have some symptoms I think.
