can weight gain affect bladder and pelvic floor?

TLDR: 46kgs in january, gained a bit of weight and since then having worse pelvic pain and going to the bathroom more often as well as having issues fully emptying my bladder. could these two things be connected? hello, all. in january, i was around 46kgs (\~ 101lbs). since then, i probably gained a few kgs, i'm not sure how much since i don't own a scale. for the past few months, i've had more pelvic pain as well as going to the toilet more often, every time i drink, having trouble fully emptying my bladder... (i have to go to the bathroom two or three times an hour to fully empty it.) i talked about it to my doctor, and we did an ultrasound for my kidneys and urinary tract, nothing alarming despite still having a bit of urine in my bladder after going to the bathroom. it has gotten to the point where i can't go out too far from home or too long, and i have to make sure there are free bathrooms everywhere i go. my doctor is sending me to a urologist soon to try and figure out what's going on... i've had scans done a few months ago for pain near the ovaries and pelvic and nothing weird came back. i've always had pelvic pain but it seems to have gotten worse since i've had these issues with my bladder since i sometimes feel like i have to focus hard and push a bit to pee. so... could gaining a bit of weight cause certain issues like this? thanks. submitted by /u/chouchappell [link] [comments]
