What Causes Frequent Urination?

i have been peeing a lot, but i never feel like i empty my bladder, and when i get to the end of my urine cycle it hurts like someone is kicking me there. and then sometimes i will go potty and it will just dribble out and i still feel like i have to go. i have been going 4 to 5 times a night about every hour o hour and 1/2.

Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern

1. going by your history it seems to be a Urinary tract infection [UTI] which is a common cause of frequent urination which happens when the bacteria enters the bladder through the urethra.

2. It could be urge incontinence or overactive bladder thus see a Urologist to find out the exact cause of the problem i.e. either due to bladder infection or prostate enlargement

3. Ask for urine examination, and if possible for a urine culture to decide the antibiotic and if the symptoms do not subside within 3-4 days, or recurs, then:
- ask for X-ray K.U.B and Ultrasonography, till then

4.
- limit food which irritate bladder like: avoid coffee, alcohol, spicy/acidic food and high carbohydrate diet and maintain ideal body weight
- kegel exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles
- take fiber rich diet to avoid constipation
- plenty of water and fluids

PS. check with causes of increased frequency and burning sensation of urine like diabetes, prostate enlargement [in old], and tuberculosis of bladder, or UTI [in young]
