Anyone in their 40's experience this?

I know this is a bit personal but, oh well. For a few months, after I pee, and leave the bathroom, I need to go again within two minutes...like as if the bladder didn't completely empty. And sometimes I go back in twice. And it's only a little but it's becoming frustrating. There's no pain but yesterday I noticed a slight pain in my right lower back, for a few minutes. And once before, maybe in February. Not sure if related but it was only a couple minutes.

I'm wondering if the stent procedure I had ten years ago in a ureter (tube leading kidney to bladder) is now weakened maybe? Or partial blocked? I've attributed these few months incontinence to being over 40 but honestly I thought that was over 65 or so. I'm wondering if I should go to doctor...I avoid it Bec of blood pressure check. I have white coat syndrome and because I get so nervous it goes sky high ....ugh. I'm tired of avoiding doctors because. Of it. I guess I could try to go soon...
Anyone ever experience this?

There are exercises you can do to strengthen the pelvic muscles. That could help.

Buy a home cuff. Test and record at home. Ask them to recheck at the end of the appointment. It's super easy to get 'white coat' documented. Also, if you see a bladder or kidney specialist, they aren't going to do any more than note a high BP and perhaps suggest you follow up with your primary.

Monitor your pressure at home when you are calm, maybe sitting in a garden. Keep track of those readings and bring them with you to your appointments.

As soon as the doctor looks at the pressure reading the assistant took, pull out your readings and explain it is just white coat syndrome. They should understand and move on from the pressure discussion quickly. 🙂

@sarabee1995 Unfortunately I even get very anxious on a home monitor too. The only way we've gotten a normal reading is at end of a physical, she won't even say she's about to recheck it... We are talking and I'm not really fully aware and just in a full conversation. I've tried doing that at home but the cuff is much tighter than theirs so once it tightens It hurts, ugh and my heart rate goes high. It's such a battle and I'm so tired of having anxiety about it.
I'm going to try again though on the home monitor again. Ty for your ideas🦋
