Loss of bladder control
Permalink  
 


Hello,
I'm in a bit of confussion, Ill tell you why.
The other nite I was out with friends having
acouple of drinks, knowing to all keep near a restroom.
After a few hours we went dancing, I lost total control of my
bladder on the dance floor, embrassed I left without saying goodbye
and I'm not sure if the saw me... Unfortunately this isn't the
first time it's happened. I had maybe six drinks and a shot.
Its been going on for a year now and I don't understand how
I could been peeing on myself???

Thanks for listening,
Daffony

Well....umm dont know if this will help. But when you drink you lose control of your muscles. Sorta like a muscle relaxer if you will. Im not a doctor, so maybe you should go see if there is a medical problem.

I'd also suggest

See a Doctor

This sounds serious

Things got a little shaky (understatement) for me at the end of my drinking, loss of bladder control while sleeping, throwing up while sleeping, blacking out after just one shot but staying out all night drinking anyway....in a blackout...these things all pointed to liver failure....I haven't had had any problems since I quit...very shaming stuff

See a Doctor, and you may want to consider quitting drinking, it sounds like it's seriously and adversely affecting your health

I also vote for more personal research into alcohol and your drinking.  Alcohol is
a powerful mind and mood altering drug and a muscle relaxer and anesthetic.
They don't put that stuff on the lable and let you find out by accident.  Finding out
if the problem is more you is as easily as googling the Alcoholic Assessment test.
I suggest it cause if you continue it will get worse than three.   Keep coming back.  smile

I would vote for seeing a doctor also. Don't be embarrassed.

I do know that losing bladder control is more common in women alcoholics. Several of the women in AA I know have stories about that...

Uh, because you had seven drinks? That's a lot. Plus, as we progress in our disease and suffer liver damage, our body is not able to process/break down the alcohol as quickly so each drink has more of an "impact."
