It may or may not come on suddenly, but going to the toilet CANNOT be postponed - you have to stop your activities and make your way to the toilet but you have several minutes (approx. 5) to prepare yourself to pass urine. You might have an accident if you wait any longer than this. Pathological different from extreme desire to void which is the far ending of the filling spectrum An Urgent desire (UD) is a call of nature which is very strong and comes on suddenly. You HAVE to get to the toilet as QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE - i.e. in less than 1 minute (as if it were an emergency) to avoid an accident. The urge is so strong that it can be difficult for you to control your bladder. You may leak on the way or whilst transferring if you do not get to a toilet within a minute or two PROPOSED PATHWAY IN UK PATIENT GP Lifestyle, Fluid and Behavioural Management (?Trial of Medication for 4 months) Laboratory Investigations MSU MC+S, Cytology Fastidious Organisms COMMUNITY CARE PATHYWAY Voiding Diaries, PVR, Physiotherapy HOSPITAL SPECIALIST [MDT in Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes] K+ Test: Modified or not Cold Water Test Cystoscopy + Bladder Biopsy History protocol S.
