Vesical tenesmus
Vesical tenesmus is a medical condition characterized by a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder following urination. It is often associated with urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and prostate diseases. However, when the word tenesmus is used without modification, it usually refers to rectal tenesmus
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The primary symptom of vesical tenesmus is a constant feeling of needing to urinate, even after the bladder has been emptied. This can lead to frequent trips to the bathroom and discomfort. Other symptoms may include pain during urination, abdominal pain, and a burning sensation during urination.
Causes[edit | edit source]
Vesical tenesmus can be caused by a variety of conditions, including:
- Urinary tract infections: These infections can cause inflammation and irritation in the bladder, leading to feelings of incomplete emptying.
- Bladder stones: These hard masses of minerals can form in the bladder and cause a variety of symptoms, including vesical tenesmus.
- Prostate diseases: Conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer can cause vesical tenesmus.
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Diagnosis of vesical tenesmus typically involves a physical examination and a discussion of symptoms. Additional tests may be needed to determine the underlying cause of the condition. These tests may include a urinalysis, ultrasound of the bladder, and possibly a cystoscopy.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for vesical tenesmus will depend on the underlying cause of the condition. This may include antibiotics for urinary tract infections, medication or surgery for prostate diseases, and treatment to remove bladder stones.
