![]() (She also commented that a lot of women have no idea how to do this.) Next, you asked me to check your list of symptoms of POP. ![]() When I did so, she commented that I did it very strongly. She was doing an internal exam and after she removed the speculum she inserted her index finger into my vagina and asked me to 'pull up' or tighten my pelvic floor muscles. First of all, you asked how my doctor knew I had strong pelvic floor muscles. Let me know how things turn out! Sherĭear Sherri Okay, here goes, This my THIRD attempt to answer the questions you asked. ![]() Some physicians will do an MRI cystoscopy is a pretty common procedure but I urge you to voice your concerns with the dr about this test and if there is a way around in it in your paticular situation, maybe you'll be able to avoid it. I think it would be a good idea to consult with a urogyn to clarify cause of leakage since they are the best educated in all pelvic floor concerns, this type dr will be able to tell if shifting of organs/tissues creating pressure are causing problems. Although you've always maintained a strong pelvic floor, it could be estrogen shift that is making things weaker and since you've had some leakage since birth of children, now a cystocele is occurring. Sometimes as estrogen levels drop it impacts the strength and integrity of muscle tisse-all muscles both internal and external. Front wall of vagina indicates cystocele (bladder prolapse) and may be the cause of leakage. I'm glad to hear none of the traditional symptoms fit, that's a good sign. Ya, this came through just fine! So sorry for any confusion in posting, vagina would not be filtered out-anthing related to health concerns comes through just fine. Help! I feel very confused about this and about what I should do. I should add that I have always done my pelvic floor exercises ever since my first baby was born (she is now 45!) and my doctor has commented that my pelvic floor muscles are very strong, so I don't think this is the problem. I am not AT ALL keen on underdoing this procedure and am not sure whether I should have it or not. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know the cause of it? My doctor has scheduled me for a cystoscopy, which involves passing a narrow camera into my bladder to see if there are any problems there. If I do this my underwear remains dry, but if I hurry the process too much I still get wet pants. I have learned to manage this by holding a wad of toilet paper to my urethral opening before I stand up, and then standing and waiting for a minute or so until the dribble stops. That is, I would finish urinating - the stream had stopped completely - but when I stood up and pulled up my knickers they would suddenly be wet. I eventually worked out that I was dribbling after I thought I had completed emptying my bladder. It took me a long time to figure out what this was, as for a couple of years I thought it was just a worsening of my stress incontinence. How common is this specific problem in women, or is it always lumped together with general urinary incontinence? I am aged 66 and have suffered from very mild stress incontinence since the birth of my three children, but in the last few years I have also developed a very annoying post micturition dribble. It’s always important to make sure treatment matches the pattern or symptoms won’t improve.I have found very little information on the net about post micturition dribble in women - all the articles seem to relate to men. ![]() This will tell me what herbs to use and which acupuncture points to select. Once the pattern is established – and it can change week to week or month to month – I make a treatment plan. That means that we piece together all the elements of your medical interview with lifestyle factors, general health information, diet, and pulse, tongue and abdominal diagnosis to assign a pattern of disharmony. Acupuncturists use what we call Pattern Diagnosis to guide treatments. How is acupuncture used to treat urinary dribbling?Īcupuncture treats post-void dribble by astringing the urine, firming the bladder Qi, coursing the Liver and strengthening the Kidneys.
