What Causes Tingling In Hands While Urinating?

Hi I experience tingling in my hands (both) when I have a strong urge to urinate (ie: if I ve held on too long and my bladder is especially full). Is this something to worry about? I am a 47 yr old female, 5 9 , 175 lbs, normal health, hysterectomy @ age 38 due to cystitis. Also previous history includes diviticulitis (Meckle s Diverticulum) requiring resectioning and included 2x laperotomy. Laperostopy x2 for ovarian cysts. Appendectomy. Removal of lump from rt breast (age 16; benign). Tonsillectomy. MVD surgery x2 (failed) for Trigeminal Neuralgia; rhizotomy for same.

Hi,

From what you're describing I don't detect anything organic to worry about although a better person to clear you for any type of organic bladder or other problem would be either your family doctor or your urologist or gynecologist. But it really does sound like you can address this problem to a large extent if you develop a regular and strict bladder routine such that you can keep yourself from getting to points where you are actually overholding your urine which can not only cause discomfort but could cause some of the other curious symptoms due to autonomic charges being fired from trying so hard to hold that bladder.

I believe you've had enough surgery for a lifetime... time to heal up and approach things from a nonsurgical perspective for a while in my opinion... otherwise, it's a never-ending circle. In my opinion, surgery begets more surgery... no matter how much anybody says that statement's not true...I see it way too often for it to be pure coincidence.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
