Can kidney stones cause incontinence?

I totally get it, that sudden urge and leaking fear is so embarrassing and stressful. When the stone irritates the bladder neck, the control goes crazy. Please be gentle with yourself, it gets better once the stone is out.

At 53, running to the loo every ten minutes because of a tiny stone is not my idea of fun. It feels like your bladder has developed its own mind and refuses to cooperate. Just hang in there and keep extra pants handy!

Please don't ignore this thinking it will go away. I ignored my bladder pressure and leaking, thinking it was just a small issue, and it turned into a massive kidney infection. Get a quick ultrasound done to see where the stone is stuck.

Actually, when a stone moves down near the bladder, it causes spasm and irritation which makes it hard to hold urine. Keep a track of how often this is happening. If there is burning or blood, you must see a doctor to rule out a urinary tract infection.

I had to travel for meetings with this issue and it was a nightmare. Carry a small water bottle, map out the office restrooms beforehand, and schedule a doctor visit over the weekend. Don't drag it out or it will ruin your work week.

Yes, stones can irritate the urinary tract lining, leading to sudden incontinence or urgency. It is highly recommended to see a urologist rather than assuming. They can do a simple urine culture and scan to give you the right treatment.

Oh god, I went through this last month and it was so frustrating to deal with at work! It is completely normal for stones to cause that weird leaking feeling. Try wearing a panty liner for safety and drink coconut water to calm things down.

I was just reading about this on a medical forum because my cousin is suffering. It seems very common because the stone irritates the nerves controlling your bladder. Hope you get relief soon.

Yes, absolutely. A stone near the bladder bladder triggers constant, uncontrollable urges.

Haan beta, patthari mein baar-baar peshab aana aur control na hona bilkul aam baat hai. Thoda gunguna pani piyo aur jaldi se bade doctor ko dikha lo, theek ho jaoge.

Bro, the urge to pee is insane when the stone is about to pass. I literally had to run to the washroom every 15 mins and sometimes even leaked a bit. Get a scan done to see how close it is to coming out.

I have had three kidney stones in my life and each time, my bladder control went out of the window. Don't worry, your bladder is not permanently damaged. Once the stone passes out, your normal control will come back completely.

My doctor explained that when the stone reaches the UVJ, which is the junction where the tube meets the bladder, it causes severe spasms. This leads to urge incontinence, meaning you suddenly feel like peeing and can't hold it. She advised taking spasm-relieving meds which really helped me.

I faced this exact leakage issue last year when my stone was lodged in the lower ureter. My urologist told me the stone tricks the bladder into thinking it is full. Drink barley water and sit in warm water baths to soothe the spasms.
