I'm vibrating.

[OhDorWheresthesalad]

I am not a sex troll. I feel like my bladder or something in that region is vibrating. It's most disconcerting. It's been going on for several hours and I don't know why!! Google suggests UTI, but I don't have any other symptoms; catheter, but I haven't had one in for a few years; neurological conditions, but I don't have any (that I know of). Definitely not the fanny gallops. Has anyone else had this before and what was it/did it just disappear?

Blimey OP!! Good job you're not out at the cinema!

I asked Copilot:

You're definitely not alone in experiencing this strange vibrating sensation in the bladder or pelvic region—it's more common than you'd think, and it can stem from a variety of causes, many of which are benign or transient.
🌀 Possible Causes of Vibrating Sensation
Here’s a breakdown of what might be going on:

1. Pelvic Muscle Spasms

• Similar to an eyelid twitch, pelvic muscles can spasm involuntarily.
• Often triggered by prolonged sitting, cycling, or even stress.
• Usually mild and sporadic, and tends to resolve on its own.

1. Entrapped Nerve

• A compressed or irritated nerve in the pelvic area can cause buzzing or vibrating sensations.
• This might happen after certain physical activities or due to posture.

1. Bladder Spasms

• These are involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscle in the bladder wall.
• Can feel like pressure, cramping, or even a vibrating sensation.
• Causes include overactive bladder, medications, infections, or nerve-related issues.

1. Dehydration or Caffeine/Alcohol Intake

• These can lead to muscle spasms, including in the pelvic floor.
• Rehydration often helps alleviate the sensation.

1. Stress or Anxiety

• Known to trigger muscle spasms throughout the body, including the pelvic region.
• Relaxation techniques like breathwork or gentle yoga may help.

1. Other Medical Conditions

• Less commonly, things like interstitial cystitis, bladder stones, or neurological conditions could be involved—but these usually come with other symptoms like pain, urgency, or changes in urination.

🧘‍♀️ What You Can Do

• Hydrate well and reduce caffeine/alcohol for a few days.
• Try gentle movement or stretching, especially if you’ve been sitting a lot.
• Track the sensation: frequency, duration, and any triggers.
• Consider pelvic floor relaxation techniques if stress might be a factor.
• If it persists or worsens, a GP or pelvic health specialist can help rule out underlying causes.

I had vibrations and I was told it was B12 deficiency. I had nothing to lose and took high doses B12 in a spray form and the vibrations went! It took about a week but it worked (I’d had the vibrations for months).

ThanksBeachtastic I'll go get some water, not had masses today.
Maggie months?! Poor you, must have been miserable. It is the weirdest feeling. B12 is quite possible, I probably have some knocking around I can dig out, thank you for the tip.

I've had that and seen other threads about it. Went away on its own.

I've had this in various parts of my body, was trapped nerves

Same. Trapped nerve in lower back.

I've had this many times, though not for a while. It goes away by itself. I'm not low in B12 but I do have neuro/spinal issues.

Thank you all. I do have prolapsed discs, although they aren't (I didn't think) causing me problems at the moment. I have got an osteopath appointment next week so will remember to mention it to him.

My mother has this and so do I. The diuretics we take cause bladder spasms.

I’ve just had a bad bout of sciatica due to a herniated disc and had this. Very weird. Intermittently felt like I had a mobile phone vibrating in my back pocket or in my pants 🫣. So for me it was a trapped nerve in my lower back, which someone also mentioned. Hope it settles for you soon. I kept feeling in my jeans for my mobile… 😆

That's exactly it feels like, my phone vibrating in my pants rather than my back pocket! Excellent description, sorry you had it too.

That's exactly how I described my first baby movements when pregnant! I'm not sure how far along I was bit quite early.

Well I know it's definitely not that! (Phew!!)

Same here. Like a phone against my lower abdomen.
