Your Body Is Speaking
It burns. When urinating, in the lower abdomen, sometimes like a hot blade drawing through your innermost self. You need to go to the toilet constantly, but almost nothing comes. The pressure remains. The pain remains. Medically, a bladder infection is a bacterial infection of the urinary tract — common, usually treatable, often recurring. But when it keeps coming back, when it visits you in waves, a question arises beyond the bacteria: what in your inner life is running under so much pressure that your body is inflaming itself in the lower abdomen?
The bladder is an organ of letting go. Its only job is to take in and release again. When this cycle is disturbed — when letting go hurts, when the flow stalls — it is worth looking deeper. Not only at the urine, but at what you are holding inside you.
Bladder infection is not a minor matter. It is a burning that wants to be heard.
