Retention

[Sharyn]

I have been using AZO and Uribelle and Vicodin. Today, I am experiencing retention. How long does this last?

i know this is an older post. but you really shouldnt be taking AZO & Uribel together. Taking AZO is over doing it, since the Uribel helps with urethral burning, bladder spasms an all. All the dyes in both of those can do some serious irritation to the bladder. Even taking just the Uribel can cause retention. I experienced it myself. If i didnt wake up in the night to pee, and i hadnt gone for atleast 8 hours (which it helped alot with not getting up at night) when i would finally go in the morning, the dye would be so concentrated that my bladder would ach and hurt. They say to take up to 4 of them a day. The doctor has told me to take them really as needed. im only taking one every other day now. i have more burning and pain. but retention can do alot more damage to an already damaged bladder. for me atleast, I'd day its best to take a little pain with dealing with this, than to be a little more comfortable at the time and really only making yourself worse.
