shout out to people with bladder and bowel issues this disability pride month.

its so hard to talk about our symptoms without being seen as gross or unsanitary.

you arent gross. you arent dirty. you arent unsanitary. i love you all <3

[talkethtothehandeth]

You say you’re supportive and understand of disabled people but are you supportive of people who have urinary or fecal incontinence? Are you supportive of people’s disabilities when it has to deal with something like a biohazard or something unsanitary?

i know i’m on break and this isn’t a full sign i’m Back but i just woke up aroused as all hell from a really good dream and i need to share it because i think i’m gonna need to cum before i can sleep again holy shit

so the dream was inconsequential until the last bit, a few friends were over and we were hanging out and just chilling, i think we had been at the mall earlier. and one of my friends was a little uncomfortable-looking, until he whines out of nowhere:

“I have to peeeee. can i peee?”

i’m trying my best to be as normal as i can about this and i’m like “wh- yes of course it’s over here” and i show him where the bathroom is. while he’s in there i’m on instagram checking stories and i notice something in his story from earlier while we were out at the mall:

he was visibly potty dancing in the video. like, being all excitable and happy, but he was clearly dancing around and like pushing his legs together and swaying around. it looked like he was trying to disguise it as just being excited but the way he was jumping around and swaying was very obvious to me, especially given his whiny admission earlier.

i’m doing my damndest to not be so horribly turned on by this all from my friend, but i swipe up on his story and chastise him for holding it when he could have said at any time he needed to pee and i would have helped him find a bathroom. then i think he responded along the lines of,

“i know. B-but i just peed yesterday! it’s not fair :/“

he doesn’t have a piss kink as far as i know and he doesn’t (at least to my knowledge) know i have one either, so he has no clue what he’s doing to me. i chastise him a bit more, relate with the sentiment a little bit (i get very annoyed about needing to pee when i’m non-sexually age regressed bc it’s usually when i’m stressed) and then when he comes out of the bathroom i’m immediately scooping him into my arms on the bed and we’re cuddling (and i’m desperately trying not to grind my dick into him)

again, he doesn’t know how into this i am- or, if he does, he hasn’t let me know. we kinda fool around a little bit as friends (long distance bc we’re far apart) and i can’t say i don’t have a little bit of a crush on him, but this was… mmngh. fucking hell. i need either a cold shower, my vibrator, or a fucking priest now

Oliver is having a rough time. I’m so upset. He was doing so well and then last night and today he’s had a lot of issues. I’m so worried bc he’s probably going to need surgery and he’s so old. Plus my vet is out of town, of course.

Article Summary

Abstract

Introduction

POTS is a chronic condition which involves a sustained an dexcessive increase in heart rate when moving from lying to standing. Criteria for diagnosis inclue and increase in heart rate on standing of 30-40 bpm or more depending on age.

The prevalence of POTS worldwide is not known (estimated 1/500 people or higher). It mainly affects females (5:1 ratio) between the ages of 12-40. Exact causes are not well known.

When standing, blood moves from the chest to lower areas of the body causing a drop in blood pressure which the autonomic nervous system (ANS) restores through vasoconstriction and only a small increase in heart rate. The ANS dysregulation in POTS is proposed to affect peripheral artery vasoconstriction, blood volume control, or heart rate control.

POTS has a wide range of cardiovascular-related symptoms including dizziness, blackouts, palpitations, chest pain, and breathlessness and a wide range of non-cardiovascular symptoms including migraines, gastrointestinal dysfunction, poor temperature control, muscle and joint pain, and fatigue due to widespread dysregulation of the ANS.

Management of cardiovascular symptoms usually involve increasing blood volume by drinking more fluid and adding salt to the diet, using compression clothing, and improving fitness. Medications including beta-blockers, fludrocortisone, midodrine, ivabradine, and pyridostigmine are also used.

This condition also causes symptoms in many organ systems. Assisting with respiratory dysregulation and optimising sleep has shown benefit. Urinary symptoms and bladder dysregulation appear common.

Only one published study (Kaufman et al., 2017)has investigated urinary symptoms in POTS patients finding that nocturia was the most bothersome symptoms followed by frequency and urgency. It also found 13/19 patients to have 'probable' OAB with OAB defined by the International Continence Society as 'urgency, with or without urgency urinary incontinence, usually with increased daytime frequency and nocturia'

Materials and Methods

Explains the method used for selection of patients, and collection and interpretation of data

Results

The population is characterised in this section (sex, hypermobility, age) and numerical data is provided in tables 1 through 4.

Discussion

The patients' sexes and mean age were similar to Kaufman, et al.'s study. Despite the prevalence of OAB in that study, only 14% in this study showed detrusor overactivity (DO) on their urodynamic studies (UDS). This study hypothesises that urinary urgency in some POTS patients results as their bladders fill to their maximum capacity without warning. Importantly, none of the patients demonstrated a 'dangerous bladded' that would put the upper tracts at risk.

Patients with POTS did show significant voiding abnormalities. Completed pressure-flow studies suggested a high prevalence of likely functional bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and detrusor underactivity (DU)

DU is defined by the ICS as 'a contraction of reduced strength and/or duration resulting in prolonged bladder emptying and/or failure to achieve complete bladder emptying within a normal time span' and does not have a formal definition in females nor is the prevalence in younger and asymptomatic women known. This makes it difficult to ascertain whether the prevalence of BOO and DU is a specific feature of POTS.

The UDS findings display both storage and voiding abnormalities signifying autonomic dysfunction and possibly intrinsic muscle dysfunction. Given the similar findings of studies forcused on diabetes, similar autonomic neuropathy may be the cause of symptoms in POTS.

Patients are offered education and generally managed conservatively

High fluid and salt intake recommended to treat postural symptoms may aggravate OAB symptoms. It is also noted that the use of anticholinergic and beta 3 agonists likely to be of limited efficacy and may worse tachycardia

The study is limited by retrospective nature, small numbers (especially of male patients), lack of comparative group, and that not all patients underwent video UDS or urethral pressure profiling.

Conclusion

'The UDS of patients with “PoTS bladder” demonstrate a poorly sensate but stable and safe bladder with functional obstruction and impaired bladder contractility that may necessitate straining or ISC. Patient education and conservative management are currently the mainstay of treatment.'

feels like my bladder issues are getting worse

I'm Dr. Ahmad Alenezi. Today, we will discuss methods for treating urinary infections. Numerous studies have shown that cranberry capsules are a more effective alternative to cranberry juice because there are no additional sugars or water to dilute the juice. In fact, cranberry juice might not even contain the key ingredient that helps prevent E. coli in the bladder from becoming infected. watch the video " التوت البري والوقاية من إلتهابات المثانة المتكررة | Cranberry For Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections" and get no more about it.

"I don’t mind paying to use public restrooms because the paid ones are cleaner!” Then you clearly do not experience the profound frequency that can make paying-per-pee an itemized travel expense akin to an extra meal in my food budget, nor the level of urgency that has prevented me from ever turning down a restroom opportunity when I need it, which is constantly. We are not the same.

wild that i can be bleeding internally for six weeks and it's just ... fine?? i just keep working like everything is normal?? that's cool. just like, let me know at what point to be really concerned .. i guess?!

My pain is making me really dizzy right now, but I am proud of myself.

When I was putting together urinary care stuff for my friend the other day, I really really think that I have the expertise (personal and professional) to BE PAID TO BE CHRONICALLY ILL.

I put together some great kits, and over the the past 15 years or so, I've tried too many supplements, herbs, OTC meds, prescription meds, at-home tests, beverages, snacks, self-care stuff, etc....

I think I can do it better than some of the "women's health" and urinary care companies out there *smirk* - because, as I have been learning, my neurodivergent special interest includes my own disability, and I read a lot of academic articles lol. And I talk to other people suffering from similar symptomatology - so while it's not "clinically based"... I don't think my expertise has any less merit. Sometimes it's about the awareness that if you're having an ailment, there may be non-invasive things you can do before you can get yourself to be seen by a healthcare provider.

Amidst the pain and illness, a lot of disability care is self-care, self-soothing, strengthening your body... and prevention as well!
