i started to get similar problems after i had a trachelectomy for cervical cancer. I went through 6-months of over 15 er visits, cat-scans, narcotic iv's. there's trauma to the bladder during this type of surgery, the problem is that my doctor never told me or warned me. the problem is that during surgery, the surgeon uses instruments to manipulate the bladder and pull/push it from right/left and left/right. basically like a back and forth movement. because of this you could have surgical scarring on your bladder as well. Another possibility is the radiotherapy. if it's similar to radiation then you could have bladder wall atropy which is a result of radiation. it sounds like if your pressures on your bladder wall on not normal. you need to do the following tests (Video eurodynamics, bladder ultrasound, cytoscopy, and bladder biopsy). i don't want you to end up going through what I went through. i was bledding from my bladder and kidney with no pain so I thought at first that I was spotting in between my periods. It wasn't until I collapsed in this incredible pain that was worse than childbirth and ended up in the er with a your doctor should have told you the possible effects of the treatment. maybe he was afraid that if he told you the possible effects you might opt out of treatment. drink cranberry juice on a regular basis. my doctor told me that it actually changes the chemistry of the urine to prevent for formation of kidney stones and prevent kidney infections. if your bladder is not emptying properly you could end up with a severely scarred bladder from the repeated bladder infections, and pyelonephritis.

Didnt your doctor tell you if there would be any side effects?? speak to him ASAP as you may have an infection, or you could be dehydrated.

Vaginal discharge in advanced cervical cancer. The causes Understandably, this must be a very distressing time for you. Worrying about whether other people are aware of the smell must be so upsetting and those caring for you. This type of symptom can make people feel very self conscious, anxious and depressed. Coping with this symptom can be hard, but depending on what’s causing the problem, a number of things can help. There are a few reasons why women with cervical cancer may have an unpleasant smelling vaginal discharge. An infection is a common cause. And some women are more prone to getting infections during treatment with radiotherapy or chemotherapy for cervical cancer. Depending on the type of infection, antibiotics or anti fungal medications can help clear it up. Although it can be embarrassing for her to do, it is important that your grandmother tells her doctor about her symptoms. If it is an infection they will be able to prescribe the right medications for her. The unpleasant smelling discharge may also be a symptom of the cancer itself. If her cancer is very advanced then it may be difficult to get rid of this symptom completely. Dealing with it To help control the smell and discharge from her vagina she should Keep the area around her vagina clean and dry. Wear cotton underwear and loose clothes to keep the area cool * Change sanitary pads frequently * Use a deodorizing spray around her bed or in the toilet before changing her pads - some of these do help. If she doesn’t like the deodorant smell, she could try essential oils or an air filter * Avoid using bubble bath and perfumed soaps around the vaginal area. These can destroy the normal vaginal discharge that helps protect against infections. * Use scented disposable bags for used sanitary pads * Wipe from front to back after going to the toilet * Try some live 'bio' yogurt that might help to restore the healthy vaginal bacteria levels. Something else you could suggest to your grandmother is to try using an aromatherapy oil burner in her home. Essential oils such as lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus and lemon or citrus based oils are not only good in masking unpleasant smells but they can be quite relaxing as well. You can buy these at most pharmacies or health shops. Your grandmother’s doctor or GP may suggest referring her to a team of symptom control specialists. These doctors and nurses are experts in relieving symptoms of cancer and other chronic diseases. You may hear them called Macmillan teams, palliative care teams or symptom control teams. Some teams are hospital based and some are community based. They may be based at your local hospice. The community based teams are able to come and see people in their own home. The nurse or doctor who sees your grandmother will ask her about her symptoms - for example how bad they are and whether anything makes them better or worse. It can take a while to get good control of her symptoms, but generally they can improve things. They may be able to suggest different treatments to reduce the smell and discharge and make sure she is using the right types of pads. And if your grandmother is having other symptoms such as pain, sickness and fatigue, they will be able to help with those as well. She may also find them a good source of emotional support. They are experienced in treating people with advanced cancer and will understand how upsetting this symptom is for you. Remember there are many common causes of discharge from the vagina that are not caused by cancer. These include infections in the vaginal area. But if you have an abnormal discharge from your vagina, particularly one that has a smell, you should get checked by your GP. Sometimes as a woman enters the “change of life”, she will notice a funny odor when using the restroom. Interestingly, ammonia smell in urine and menopause actually has something in common, although not much. First, you have to remember that urine is about 96% water. The yellow color you see in urine is comprised of substances and the body and blood no longer need. This substance is what can tell doctors all types of things going on within the body, revealing hidden secrets about your health. Now, an ammonia smell in urine during menopause could also be associated with the food you had for supper the night before, even if you have not made a major change in diet. Therefore, rather than panic thinking you have an infection of some kind, stop to look at what you ate. For example, asparagus produces a pungent odor that comes from leftover oxalate s, which are chemicals that occur from the breakdown of certain acids in the body. Although not pleasant, keep in mind the odor is perfectly harmless and by the end of the day will pass. Other things you want to watch for include cloudy/yellow urine, which means the presence of blood, fat droplets, or pus, often associated with a vegetarian diet. Smoky colored urine with a gray cast means remainders of yeast and old red blood cells. Red blood means blood that could be from a bladder infection, kidney infection, or more serious things such as cancer of the kidney or bladder. However, if you have recently eaten beets or taken laxatives with red food coloring, this too could be the culprit. Finally, if the urine is a dark brown color, hepatitis or liver disease might be suspected. While ammonia smell in urine and menopause may not always be associated with every color, there are times when you would notice a slight odor. In addition to the ammonia smell in urine and menopause, you might notice other odors in urine that should be understood. For example, if urine takes on a fishy smell, then your ammonia level is much too high or you could be battling with a bladder infection. Another cause of the ammonia smell in urine during menopause is called vaginitis, which is an infection. Remember whether you have a bladder infection or vaginal infection, you can talk to your doctor and typically be given antibiotics and cream to help. The important thing to keep in mind even when you notice an ammonia smell in your urine during menopause is that most often, nothing serious is going on. Urine in itself is a vital substance of the body. While you sleep at night, the body can use the flow of urine to carry decomposing products out of the body. By the kidneys being filtered, those unwanted substances are washed away. The most important thing is that if you notice a strong ammonia smell in urine during menopause and you have not eaten anything funny the night before, as well as increased your water consumption, you should talk to your doctor to have a urinalysis done. With this, you simple pee in cup so to speak so the urine can be examined closely under microscope. At that time, your doctor would be able to determine the cause of the urine and prescribe the appropriate medication or treatment.
