Suggest Remedy For Urinary Urgency
Question: Hi im a 33 year old male, and i get the feeling like i need to uriante urgently..
Hello,
it could be a urinary tract infection or a stone (or other kind of obstruction). A urinalysis and perhaps an ultrasound scan of the urinary tract would be required for the diagnosis. Your doctor should examine you and determine how the investigation should proceed. If it's an infection then antibiotics will be prescribed.
Kind Regards!

Ive already been to my gp who said uribe sample was fine..
Brief Answer:
investigation required
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the additional info!
If there's no infection, then other causes will have to be sought. If your urine volume is very high then causes like diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus and hypercalcemia might have to be considered. If your urine volume is normal or low then obstruction of the urinary tract or inflammation in the urinary tract may cause this symptom. For example a stone in close to the bladder may cause urgency. Tumors in the bladder (papillomas) or the upper urinary tract may also cause symptoms of obstruction (including urgency).
I would start with an ultrasound scan of the urinary tract. Depending on the results and symptoms more radiological tests might be required. A CT scan would be a great test to more accurately identify various problems in the urinary tract. Blood tests like glucose, calcium and urine tests for specific gravity might provide additional clues to the diagnosis.
I hope you find my comment helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!

Do you think it could be prostate cancer?
Brief Answer:
it would be unlikely
Detailed Answer:
Although various causes ate possible, I doubt that prostate cancer has anything to do with it. Your age and the symptoms make it less likely as a cause.

So you dont think its anything serious..
Brief Answer:
I can't say without testing
Detailed Answer:
I've suggested some serious causes already! Investigation will determine the diagnosis. In a young individual like you the causes are usually less serious than in older individuals.

I have ibs.. Do you think i could have something to do with it? E.g overactive bladder? t
Brief Answer:
it could
Detailed Answer:
IBS can be related to your urgency but the organic causes will have to be excluded first. If the radiological assessment is negative then functional causes of the bladder and intestine might be considered.
Kind regards!

I did have full blood tests 3 months ago checking organ functionality etc.. They also came back clear..
Brief Answer:
that's great but you still have to do the radiological tests
Detailed Answer:
It's very good that your tests were OK. The radiological tests cannot be substituted though, so you still have to do at least an ultrasound scan. More tests might be needed depending on the ultrasound scan results.
