Im female, 24. I go to the gym, i eat healthily but smoke. I drink approx. 3 cups of tea & 3-4 pints of water a day. I rarely drink fizzy/sugary drinks & drink alcohol in moderation. For a few months now ive noticed i need to pee pretty much straight after ive drank something. If i drink a pint of water i can go 6 times in an hr & always have a full bladder. It is always clear & i never have pain or burning etc. I can have a full bladder, go to the loo & then 5/10 mins later have a full bladder again without drinking anything. Its as though im peeing more than im drinking. I don't wake in the night needing to go but once im up and have a drink im on the loo non stop. I don't feel unwell, tired or dehydrated, im not pregnant, my periods are regular, i suffer with period pain but always have. I have had the same sexual partner for 4 yrs and don't have an std. I am away from home so can't see my doctor until christmas. Any ideas?

Would you believe cystitis? I use some baking soda and water...I had it so bad last summer that I thought I was connected to loo...They checked for diabetes and did not have that...If the baking soda and water works immediately...I am glad that I can help...The first person is right...stay away from tea...diuretics

Its probably the tea - caffeine is a diuretic that causes your kidneys to expel fluids. Try eliminating caffeine for a day and see what happens. You can also watch the pattern when you drink tea. It takes about 30-45 minutes before the caffeine kicks in, so if the problems start a half hour after drinking tea, you've got the culprit.

Well- you might have an overactive bladder. Or you might have diabetes. A doctor could tell you which it is far better than I can.
Good luck.
