Post Covid/Long Covid: Anyone else experienced bladder issues?

Posted by emmabell @emmabell, Nov 11, 2022

Had Covid on Oct 1st. Most symptoms were gone after about 10 days but I still have a headache and heart palpitations.

Around Oct 21 I started getting bladder issues. I need to pee frequently, day and night, but very small ammounts, and I have bladder pain especially as it fills up (well, as it ”thinks” it fills up).

No bacteria found.

I did some research and found this can actually happen after Covid and is called ”Covid Bladder” or ”Covid Cystitis”. But this is not very known (yet) in my small country so I don’t get taken seriously.

Anyone else experienced bladder issues? I heard it can be treated with Loratidine and Famotidine but I have no idea what dosage?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

I have bladder issues as well but frequency and urgency are my problems. It seems to cycle I’m okay sometimes and then can’t make it to the bathroom on time!

That was the first issue I had to address with Long Covid. Went to a gynourologist who did a full workup. I am being treated now for overactive bladder which is helping. I take Myrbetrix 50 mg once daily. It has helped tremendously.

I’ve had bladder issues since Oct 21. I noticed I woke up every night having to pee, and then it has kept getting worse. I constantly have to go, even tho there’s barely anything in there, both day and night, and I have really bad bladder pain, like it’s gonna explode.

Never had similar issues before, tho since June I have noticed it takes a little longer to empty my bladder than usual. That’s all.

Urine sample for infection came back negative.

I got Covid on Oct 1st. I have some post covid symptoms such as palpitations (ecg looked normal) and head ache. I’ve heard of Covid Bladder. Could that be it? Or related to my heart symptoms?

I also took one (just one) pill of Cytotek orally for stomach ulcer recently which gave me terrible cramps in my uterus, and my period looked very weird (even tho I’m on the pill). Could Cytotek have affected the bladder as well?

(I’m now on 20mg omeprazol instead for the ulcer.)

I should mention I suspect I’ve had mild endometrioses for 20 years, in case this makes a difference.

Also tapering off Diazepam atm. Was on 5mg and am now on 2,75mg. Could it be a withdrawal symptom?

Very worried about IC (chronic bladder pain).

Any thoughts?

Hi, I’m so sorry to hear this! My mum is now going through the same thing and drs don’t know what it is. Did you ever get any answers? Did you find anything helped improve this or are you still suffering with the same problems?
