Answer 1

Hi,

I suppose you have to be glad it's not in your pants!

My first thought when I saw your question was the possibility of diabetes, as excessive urination is one of the earliest and most indicative of the symptoms. I would have said , 'See your doctor'.

Sensibly you have already done that. Did your doctor do a urine test? If he didn't I would suggest you ask him again, or if this is likely to cost you too much money, ask someone you know (a diabetic) if you can test your urine using one of their test strips.

If this shows a high sugar level, or if you are constantly thirsty and needing to drink a lot, then I should go back to your doctor for confirmation.

It may, of course, merely be in your head that you are peeing too much. What you think of as 'too much' may be perfectly normal. Most people pee when they wake up and will pee several times during the day. They should not need to get up in the night to pee, and if they do, and this happens more than once a night after going to bed I would seriously suggest you are tested for diabetes.

If you peeing frequency is within 'normal' limits then I suppose you just have to relax and stop worrying.

Hope you turn out OK.

Cheers,

How often is a lot? And how much are you going each time? Maybe doing Kegal exercises will help strengthen the muscles in that area which might help your body not 'let go' of it as often. Maybe you’re growing and changing, and it’s just a phase of growth. I have had issues with bladder infections caused because the opening of my urethra was abnormally small, maybe yours happens to be abnormally big and it has this effect. Try not drinking so much and if that effects how much you go. Your doctor isn’t gonna know if something’s going on unless they have inspected the area. If they have and still say that nothing wrong, and it continues ask your doctor to refer you to an Urologist.
Just curious, do you have a high or low tolerance for pain? Maybe your sensory input from the pressure ‘down there’ is heightened more so than other people, which would mean it’s all in your brain; that’s where your central nervous system ‘feels’ things.

peeing a lot is one of the first sign of type 1 diabetes. it usually develops in childhood and teen years. have you been very tired and lost weight as well?

to find out if its that, go the the pharmacy and ask for a glucose test. if you have undiagnosed diabetes, your sugar level will be top high. if so, go to the hospital in a hurry. if you wait to much, you can get into coma!

if its not that, maybe you have an urinary infection or something else. have an urine analysis and culture done (must be prescribed by a physician) maybe that would give some answers.

Answer 4

It sounds like you might have a urinary tract infection. You need to see a doctor ASAP to find out for sure. The only way to cure the infection is to take antibiotics prescribed by a doctor. If left untreated, the infection could spread to your kidneys and cause other very serious problems.

Answer 5

You may have a small bladder. If you are concerned you should get a second opinion. I do not appreciate any doctor that tells you that it is in your head. Plus If you hold it too long you can cause yourself more problems.

Answer 6

I had that same problem then i stopped drinking soda for 2 years in my first week of that i stopped peeing so much.

also do not drink anything whatsoever 90 minutes before going to bed unless you have then drink water

Answer 7

Here are some things it could be... Bladder infection, small bladder, weak bladder, pregnancy, drinking a lot of water, diabetes...

Answer 8

it could be that u drink a lot of diuretics which are drinks that make u pee a lot like coffe,tea or even pepsi and cola...
if u r then it's normal to pee a lot and u should minimize those drinks

Answer 9

you could have a bladder infection or it could be a sign of diabetes. i think i'd go to a different doctor,possibly female one,they seem to be more concerned.
