Woman unable to wee for more than a year diagnosed with rare condition that 'changed her life'
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA woman was unable to wee for more than a year before being diagnosed with a rare condition which she says "completely changed" her life.
Elle Adams, 30, woke up in October 2020, unable to urinate. No matter how much fluid she drank, she was unable to wee even though she felt like she needed to.
She went to A&E and after explaining her symptoms, doctors discovered Elle had one litre of urine in her bladder. Women's bladders are usually able to hold up to 500ml and men's are usually able to hold 700ml.
Doctors fitted her with an emergency catheter - a tube that's passed into the bladder to drain urine.
