Urinary urgency

hi eric..yes. the pouch sits 'this close' to the bladder. I get bladder leakage and have always had urge frequency. Of course that gets worse with age...

Hey Eric,
I find even with the disconnected Jpouch I've been having problems with that. /shrug
Not sure what part is causing the issue, but it started when the pouch got made...that's for sure. Sometimes I feel the problem might be around where the prostrate might sit(at least I think it's where it sits lol) if you know what I mean and it's creating the problem?

If you find out what's the cause for you, be sure to post back on it please.

Yup,
I have a low pouch that is back to back with my bladder so one functions with the other and I get this weird thing going that I have to pee but can't until I release some of the pressure on the pouch but can't empty the pouch until I pee...kinda difficult but I manage...but definetly one pushes up against the other and causes pressure on each..
Welcome to the wild and wacky world of k pouches!

I have IC so my my bladder is always a mess. If my pouch is full of liquid my bladder spasms and can't hold it. I pee a lot though and often. I consulted with my surgeon about repositioning my pouch so it takes pressure off the bladder since IC makes it a double whammy and pure living hell every day. I can move it but I just can't do surgery again.
