What Causes Excessive Saliva, Frequent Urination, Abdominal Pain And Bloating?

Posted on Mon, 18 Apr 2016

Question: For about two weeks I have been having excessive saliva and urination. I never use to have this problem. I've been getting up in the middle of the night because I have to urinate. I sometimes get abdominal pain, bloating, and fatigue. I've tested for a UTI and it came out negative, so that's out of the question. What could I possibly have?

Brief Answer:
When was your last menstrual period?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. They could be suggestive of a pregnancy and I will like to know what the date of your last menses was. Was, have you been having unprotected sex? Finally, get a rapid blood sugar test and report the value to me as well as how much water you drink in a day.

I hope to hear from you on this before making more definitive comments. Until next, I wish you well.

Thank you for responding back. I know I'm not pregnant. I haven't had intercourse with my boyfriend. I do drink a lot of water on a daily basis. 6-8 glasses of water.

Brief Answer:
Drinking much water could be the reason for so much urination!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Much water could be the reason for increased urination. Try to reduce on certain days and see whether there would be a change or not. If there is, then that’s the issue and you can go on drinking knowing that’s the explanation.
