Permanent loss of urge to urinate
Has anyone ever heard of anyone who has permanently lost the urge to urinate or really to have a signal for the need to urinate? I had a severe dehydration incident 2 years ago August. It turns out in retrospect, I realized I'd gone almost an entire day without urinating despite drinking a bunch. There's a whole long story to how it was a San Francisco trip, etc. Solo but whatever it's never returned and according to the urologist specialist surgeon it won't return. I have had overactive bladder for a while or recently started swimming a lot and swimming in the ocean in particular here in California where it's kind of cold but still wonderful and I don't seem to have overactive bladder now but still have zero indication to pee. Very strange way to live with with alarms. At least I made fun of it and it's kind of an alarm of birds chirping in a waterfall seven or eight times a day LOL
