Question: can't empty my bladder. feels like I have to go all the time but nothing comes out.Had a heart attack a week ago & had a stint put in on Tuesday & had a XXXXXXX put in while on bed rest. Now I feel I have to constantly go but never feel finished & on Friday night had blood when I wiped. Is this just a bladder infection?

Brief Answer:
Infection of the urinary tract

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Very true . This can be an infection of the urinary tract (bladder included).
There is a very sensitive triangular part at the base of the urinary bladder. The irritation of this part gives a constant feeling of passing urine and a sense of no complete evacuation.

Go for a urine test- routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity.
I hope you are already under an antibiotic cover. If not you have to get started with antibiotic under the guidance of your Doctor for 2 to 3 weeks.

Take plenty of oral fluids/ Water.
Urinary alkalinizer may help reducing the feeling you have.

The blood can be due to urethritis ( hence mentioned infection of the complete urinary tract. Ultrasonography and cysto-urethroscopy may be needed if there is no relief on the medication.
