Does Chewing Cocoa Leaves Cause Urge To Urinate?

I do live in Bolivia where chewing coca leaves is legal practice among people. I started chewing like a year ago and i´ve noticed that it makes me want to pee a lot when I chew coca leaves. Could I get some kind of damage to my organism due to coca leaves chewing ?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for damage due to cocoa leaves as it can not cause urge to urinate.
For your symptoms, increase urination, more urge of urination, you should get done
1. Urine microscopic examination
2. Ultrasound examination of kidney, ureter bladder (KUB)
UTI (Urinary tract infection) and Renal stone can cause similar symptoms. So these tests will be needed to rule out above mentioned diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
