I have a problem with urinating. With everyone that i know after they have had a drink they do not need to go for a wee as quickly as 10minutes or sometimes less afterwards. Anything i drink goes straight through me in no time atall, and as you can immagine is incredably inconveient and means alot of desruptions to my day.
I know that something isnt quite right. Im making an appointment to see my GP this week but i just thought id pass this question over to you guys to see if anyone else has any advice or ideas as to what the problem could be.

Frequent urination is easily solved with cheap drugs.

Perhaps its a mental thing. Your mind thinks that it needs to rid some fluids as you take more on.
Try supping at water throughout the day, but dont visit the bathroom after each sip, just thinkI only had a sip. Try to get to go about an hour at first, then increase to 75 mins, the 90 and so on till you really do feel like you have to go.
I think its something that you have to over come mentally. But a visit to your GP may result in some tests being done just to rule out anything unusual.
As you don't mention any pain or difficulty passing urine, I'd say its not a water infection.

Has this always been the case or is it something that has started recently? It sounds like the former, but just in case, maybe there's a chance you have cystitis, basically a bladder inflamation or infection. If so you will also feel discomfort when you wee. Usually a burning kind of sensation in your lower abdomen. Don't worry, it doesn't mean a sexually transmitted desease or anything, virgins get it!
Anyway, you are of course doing the right thing by seeing your GP, who hopefully can give you all the answers/help you need. Good luck.

This sounds really difficult, and I'm glad you're seeing your GP. With luck, you will get some idea of what is going on, and medication if it is appropriate. How much urine are you passing at a time? If it is only a little, then exercises, to strengthen bladder control, and holding on as long as you can to stretch your bladder to accommodate more, will be helpful. If you're passing a lot, then it sounds as if something might not be quite right with your kidneys. Anyway, hopefully your GP will be able to provide some answers.
If the GP isn't able to sort this out, even with a hospital referral, you might want to try alternative medicine. Homeopathy could be helpful - go to http://www.homeopathy-soh.org to find someone in your area who is properly qualified and working to a code of ethics.

I do really sympathise. I discovered when I was sixteen that I have a few problems and will never be able to conceive. I also have an embarrassing problem where I have to go the minute I feel the need, it's something to do with weak voluntary muscles and I don't have long to go before i do something very childish! I am better as I have got older, but I still carry a spare pair of pants in my bag at work all day just in case. I have tried a few tablets, but nothing really seemed to work. It's not that I am always rushing to the loo, but when I feel the need, I really have to go soon. You are doing the right thing in going to the doctor, hope they will help.

I'm a nurse, and i also have a friend with a very similar problem. It's not really possible for a drink to go through you so quickly really cause your intestines are sooooooooooo long, so it should take a lot longer. So although it could be a bladder problem, it could also be psychological. Once you notice something that isnt quite right (or what you think it should be) your mind can play tricks on you and you can worry yourself into thinking its worse than it is. Talk to your GP and just dont worry. xx

I am glad that you are going to see your doctor, This problem may be cause by a low grade infection of the urethra or bladder that in turn causes a feeling that you need to pass urine frequently. And a Possibility that your bladder isn't emptying fully,
I have that problem, and will have a ultrasound on Friday to see what is happening , As a kidney Cancer survivor I can't be to careful. And if you have any one in your family that has diabetes, be sure to mention that when you see your Dr.also. And don't let you mind make it into anything till you get your report for him. Some times we over stress, Good luck to you,

Maybe it is the anxiety which precipitates the urgency.
I don noe yr age, this is common in a certain age group to have diabetes insipidus. In this, the problem is not of sugar metabolism. Urine is formed more than normal. 24 hrs urine is collected and its specific gravity is measured to see if the kidneys are able to concentrate urine or not. Perhaps your gp will advise that. You may see how long you can hold it when at home and relaxed. This may give you confidence. Good luck!

My mum is a nurse and she says kegal exercises (google it) are helpful in strengthening the muscles in your bladder. Also, avoid dueretic drinks (like caffeine) and drink as much water as possible so your body is hydrated. A lot of the time, people who don't drink much most days will need to pee more if they go out drinking as their body isn't used to the liquid. Drink 1-2 litres of water during the day and after a week or so your body will be able to cope with 'drinking sessions' much more easily. Also, try not to go so much when you are at home to stretch your bladder a bit. It may be that you are more aware of needing to go and getting worried and this is making it worse than it is. Hope that helps! : )

hi there i'm not a doctor but i am like this too, i have always been like this i basically pee every 15 minutes and they can't find anything wrong with me. i've been like this since babyhood and some doctors have suggested that it's something to do with the nerves that control the bladder being sensitive and others say it's to do with hormone levels.
basically i have to manage my life around this, and actually i limit my water intake, i also get dehydrated easily. no one has ever been able to tell me why.

Your bladder could have stretched or dropped, causing control problems. It is very important that you go to your GP. They will refer you to a Urologist who will take a closer look at your bladder to determine the cause. There are medications and procedures that can fix your problem. Good luck!
