What is the cause of a constant burning pain between the rectum and the urethra?

How long someone is expected to live with bladder cancer?
With each person treatment varies as does life expectancy. With three different malignant, untreated tumors it is likely that cancer has metastasized and will continue to destroy the body. Life expectancy can vary but theoretically you could die in the next two weeks or the next twenty years.
Does our kidneys collect and store urine formed by your bladder?
It takes place in the urinary bladder after it is brought there by the ureters.
What is the relationship between the urethra and the bladder?

What is prolapse of bladder into the urethra?
A urethral caruncle is a prolapse of the female urethra. It is more common with age.
What is the medical term meaning inflammation of the prostate gland and bladder?
Interstitial cystitis is the medical term meaning chronic inflammation within the wall of the bladder. This condition is more common in women, and its exact causes are unclear. An affected person may have urinary urgency and frequency, and often pain. The condition is very difficult to treat.
Yes,, If your bladder is full when it is hit, it can burst upward through its dome and into your body cavity. That is a life threatening emergency. Even if it does not burst, it can be damaged within its layered wall and develop scar tissue. If you are hit in your bladder, see a physician.

Can you live with out the bladder?
You will not die without a bladder IF there is a way for urine to exit the body. Surgeons cut a small hole through the lower abdomen where a urinary bag is placed to collect urine. This bag must be emptied multiple times a day AND changed on a schedule. So it is not a nice replacement for a urinary bladder but there is no other choice.
The trigone is a smooth triangular region of the internal urinary bladder formed by the two ureteral orifices and the internal urethral orifice.
The area is very sensitive to expansion and once stretched to a certain degree, the urinary bladder signals the brain of its need to empty. The signals become stronger as the bladder continues to fill.
Embryologically, the trigone of the bladder is derived from the caudal end of mesonephric ducts, which is of mesodermal origin (the rest of the bladder isendodermal). In the female the mesonephric ducts regresses, causing the trigone to be less prominent, but still present.
How long can a burst blood vessel in bladder bleed for?
I am a heavy gamer so I have loads of blood vessels in my eyes. It usually takes 2-3 days to fully heal for me, but I dont know if it talking longer or shorter for other people.
Can you have your bladder removed?
Yes, your bladder can be removed. It is a major surgery, but my 81 year old mother who learned she had bladder cancer, had hers removed last year, and is doing well. They create a stoma and you use a bag on the outside of your body to collect the urine. There is also a surgery that creates a 'new' bladder to replace the original, but it is an extensive surgery, and not usually recommended for an elderly person. In that case you are able to continue as 'normal' without the use of a bag.
Hope this helps you.
When the bladder is empty its lining is thrown into the folds known as what?
When the bladder is empty it's lining is thrown into folds called rugae. It allows the stomach and other tissues to expand when needed.
Which two organs does the ureter connect?
The kidneys connect the urinary system to the circulatory system. The circulatory system brings blood to the kidneys, which remove nitrogenous wastes and rebalance the blood's salt and water content. The kidneys then transport these wastes to the urinary bladder via the ureters.
What does suboptimally distended urinary bladder mean?
The bladder is suboptimally distended with no gross abnormalities?
What is the name of the place you pee out of?
In both males and females, a tube called the urethra exits the bladder and leads to the outside.
Intermittent bladder irrigation?
if the question is dealing with exccessive urination it could be caused by an enlarged prostate it could also be the bodies way of releiving itself of exxess fluid possibly from high blood pressure the body gets rid of waste products through the urinary system such as excess sodium,potassium and other by products the body can't use
2/18/2008 Continuous bladder irrigation is also used following a medical procedure to the urinary system. I have seen it used most frequently with prostatectomies. The prostate is extremely vascular and bleeds excessively following removal or reduction. A special foley catheter is inserted into the urethra with a Y type adapter to allow fluids to go both in and out. Large bags of normal saline are used to continually flush the bladder. It is very common for the normal saline to come back out as bright red blood at first. Eventually, the normal saline will run clear and the irrigation can be discontinued soon after. I have not seen many complications but as with any procedure there is a risk of infection. A rupture would also be possible if the output port was clogged and fluid continued to run in. Electrolyte imbalances would be possible as well. This is an impatient procedure so just being in the hospital has its own set of risks.
What is the medical term meaning Inability to empty the bladder?
stress incontinence
Stress incontinence

The three regions/sections of the male urethra are:
The prostatic urethra begins at the neck of the bladder and includes all of the section that passes through the prostrate gland. It is the widest and most dilatable part of the male urethral canal.
The membranous urethra is the shortest and narrowest part of the male urethra. This section measures approx. 0.5 - 0.75 inches (12 - 19 mm) in length and is the section of the urethra that passes through the male urogenital diaphragm.
The external urethral sphincter (muscle) is located in the urogenital diaphragm (as for the female urethra). This muscle is referred to as the "compressor urethrae muscle" in some older textbooks.
The passage of urine along the urethra through the urogenital diaphragm is controlled by the external urethral sphincter, which is a circular muscle under voluntary control (that is, it is innervated by the somatic nervous system, SNS).
See the page about micturation for more about control of these structures by the nervous system.
The spongy urethra is the longest of the three sections. It is approx. 6 inches (150 mm) in length and is contained in the corpus spongiosum that extends from the end of the membranous portion, passes through the penis, and terminates at theexternal orifice of the urethra - which is the point at which the urine leaves the body.
What are the diffence between the male and female urethra?
The female and male urethra function in the same way for urinary elimination. The female urethra is shorter in length than a male's, with the female urethra approximately 1 1/2 inches long and the male urethra approximately 8 inches long. Therefore, females can be more vulnerable to urinary tract and bladder infections since the pathway for germs from outside the body is shorter in females. Both males and females have sphincter muscles at the base of the bladder that control the release of the urine from the bladder to the urethra.
In males, the urethra also functions as a tube for the release of semen in ejaculation. Their urethras intersect with the vas deferens, the tube that moves semen from the reproductive organs, at the area of the prostate gland. A valve at the base of the urethra directs the flow of either urine or semen through the urethral tube.
Urine and sperm leave the body through what structure?
the urethra which runs down the center of the erect penis. The urethra is also used for urination in both men and women.
