feeling like it's going to explode because you feel like you have to really go? Now imagine having that feeling again in 10 minutes even after you relieve yourself.

So yeah I've been having some problems to say the least with having to go frequently. Even when I barely drink any fluid, I'll still have this problem. I already seen a family doctor about it, and he wasn't able to figure out what it was other than my condition not being diabetes or an infection. My guess is that there's something wrong with the nerves or muscles down there that causes these capricious and sudden urges.

After a long drive of six hours (for some strange reason the urge becomes worse when in a moving vehicle), I'm back in college and I have to wait until September 5th to go see a urologist. Sucks to wait to say the least, it's annoying having your bladder feel like you're going to explode, while you're listening to a lecture or eating at a dining hall with no bathroom facilities nearby (yeah that makes a lot of sense doesn't it?).

Usually I don't vent, but this one time I have to, especially when my ailment spoiled my viewing of the Dark Knight in an IMAX theater. I just hope the urologist will be able to resolve this problem of mine when the time comes.

That really sucks. I'll admit, my first thought when I started reading was "diabetes", but I've got no idea what else could cause feelings like that. Do you actually need to go when this happens or does it just feel like you do (but it's empty)?

Did you get your anus checked out? I saw that episode from family guy where Peter had some probs there that caused frequent urination.

Enlarged prostate?

It's probably just a bladder infection :/. People get em all the time

Then again, I'm no doctor, so smart move getting it checked out rather than not going and asking people here.

What I am about to say is NOT A JOKE.

That is a common symptom of too much masturbation.

I do that every day and I have no problems like that.

Except for the hemorrhoids and constipation but I've been doing that for several years now and these symptoms appeared this year. Hm.

Well, look at the bright side.. at least it doesnt burn when you piss.


Or maybe it does? If its does I would defenitely say bladder or kidney infection.

And on our next episode of "Dr. Massassi"...

You may have systitus (teehee @ spelling).
Usually women get it, but men can too on rare occasion.

I reckon u should continue to drink water rather than not.

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

I say it's more of the latter. Even when I walk out in the middle of a lecture (which I hate doing since I feel rude) to empty myself and then come back, I'll still have this sudden urge to go again even though I'm "all out." It does go away after a short bit (usually by walking around).

No I didn't get my anus checked out, but the fact it occurs more from sitting does make me wonder a bit. Though strangely, I seem to be fine with the chair I'm sitting in my dorm room.

Yeah I decided to go back to drinking a lot of water again. I figure since I still get these urges even when I seem to be dry, it doesn't matter. Still I am kind of worried if this is something serious or not.




Yeah that kind of reminds me of the trouble some people get themselves into and the first thing they decide to do is to post about it on a forum. My condition is not a bladder infection according to my family doctor who had me do a urine test.

I never thought I would find myself looking forward to a doctor's appointment. Hopefully the urologist can do something to quell these urges instead of making me wait like two weeks until something is done.

In the mean time, guess I'll have to play "hold it as best as you can", while sitting in close. At least I can buy takeout food at my campus's main dining hall.

Those are common symptoms of a lack of fiber, not of masturbation.

Not a doc yet, but in nine months I'll have my MD.

It's been asked before a bit, but just to clarify:

You have the feeling to urinate, but:

1.) Is the stream of urine weaker? As in, could you pee your name in the snow if you wanted to?

2.) If you have a normal stream, and the following time you feel the need to urinate (like in that 10 min interval), how much comes out?

3.) Itching? Burning? Redness? Discharge of some color? Change in urine color? Any different smell to the urine? Sexually active? You know, crap associated with infection.

4.) Does this feeling wake you up at night? Do you find yourself tired during the day from going to the toilet at night? Wet the bed?

5.) Any abdominal pain? No increase in thirst? Any numbness or tingling anywhere?

From what you've said though, it seems like some sort of urinary tract infection like others have said.

Try drinking some cranberry juice. While it isn't supported by evidence, some older docs still swear by it.

Prostate was my first thought, but that's only because of all those commercials.

Arrr, they be barnicles on yer prostate!

Sometimes I have to go frequently and sometimes I don't. Maybe its just a phase? I guess it would depend on how long its been going on. Meh.

I wouldn't say it's weaker. It seems quite normal. However, if I go a second time after I went 10 minutes ago; it's obviously weaker and there would is less fluid.



In the normal times where I don't feel a strong urge to urinate (maybe like 2-4 hours intervals), I generally let out an adequate amount of urine. However if I go 10-30 minutes since my last urination, I'll hardly let out any fluids. So basically those urges can be considered "false."



Notice different about the urine, it's the same as it always has been and the same as I have always felt. Actually after I finish, there is a slight strange tingling or sensation down there sometimes. I don't want to go as far as to call it "burning", but it's more like the lingering feeling of still wanting to go. The feeling disapates after awhile, but sitting down doesn't help it dispastes Oh and I'm not definitely not sexually active.



I wouldn't say this feeling wake me up at night, but it does seem to have me waking up at least once to go per night now. Furthermore, I don't wet the bed or feel that tired during the day. In some ways, I do maybe feel that I'm not as fit as I used to be. On second thought, I do notice that I'm yawning more in class than I used to do.




Hm my lower back is kind of sore at times, but not often. Yeah I would say there's an increase in thirst since my lips are much more dry these days. I do sometimes acquire a tingling feeling in my foot from steping around.




The family doctor said I didn't have an infection (though he was referring more to the prostate and bladder I think) so I'm not sure if he was wrong in his analysis or not. Still, I think I'll may stick to your advise and go to the store over the weekend to get some juice.



I originally thought that too because it has happened to me (although not on this level of frequency) before, but it usually went away after a day or two. However, I have noticed these symptoms of mine since the second week of August or so.

Anyhow much appreciated with the help. I'll do whatever I can to try to endure until next Friday.
