Question

for the last couple of weeks ive been urinating frequently, like every 10 or 20 minutes. i'll go toilet and urinate then sit back down and its like my bladder fills right back up in the time span of 15 mins then im ready to go urinate again. i dont feel excessively thirsty, but i drink alot of tea but not overly. ive had my urine tested at the hospital and it came back clear and im worried as to what is wrong with me?? im not losing weight ive gained alot of weight infact

Answer 1

I'm initially going to say no.

Answer 2

Diabetes usually has the triad of : Polyphagia (increase food intake) along with weight loss, Polyuria (excessive urination ) and Polydypsia (increased thirst ).
Excess urination would be better addressed depending on age .
If you are young , the way you describe, could be due to excess Tea drinking ( do you drink a lot ) , there is a condition where people drink a lot of water and urinate thus a lot , but this would lead later to drop of the sodium in the body which can give symptoms .
the other question is ,the quantity , is it a full bladder or just the feeling to go and then you pee a little ? if this is the situation it could be due to irritation of the bladder which can happen from infection .
Now if you are Old age , lets say above 60 (or possibly above 50 ), excess urination can be due to problems with the prostate, but then it would be more of a feeling to go , but when you do it is little only , and the urine in this situation when tested is perfectly normal .
Infection can be a possibility but then you said that your urine testing came back normal , so I doubt it .
It can be multiple possibilities , but more details are needed for calrification .
Just an adendum : after reading some of the answers , thyroid problems don't lead to urinary symptoms , on the other hand someone mentioned hypoglycemia , it does not also has anything to do with the urination and when it occurs , you would have palpitations, sweating and even you might loose conciousness .

Answer 3

You may have one of the pre-diabetic syndromes. This can be checked out by getting a fasting blood insulin test. If it comes back high (10 or more on the American scale) then you have hyperinsulinemia.

For some basic info on hypoglycemia, one of the pre-diabetic syndromes that definitely caused me to gain weight, check out www.hufa.org.

Answer 4

well increased urination is one sign of diabetes however u could have an urinary tract infection if i were i would see an endocrinoligist to get tested and find out whats goin on inside ur body from what u say it doesn't seem to good.

Answer 5

Probably not diabetes...but you should have a simple blood test done to rule it out. Some people just have over-active bladders

Answer 6

Tea is a natural diuretic. I do the same thing. Cut down on the tea and drink more water and see what happens.
