Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Have had constant urge to urinate all day. Also urge for bowel movement but minimal stool and was firm. Now a little watery. This started this AM but after breakfast all seemed OK. Bladder feels full and has all day. One side note - I drank some non-sterilized water (filtered rainwater stored in covered tank) Saturday on a hunting trip. I m a little achey right now and feel slightly feverish but did not measure any fever. Anything to be concerned about? Should I see doctor in AM if not cleared up?
Hi and welcome. Thank you for the query. Urgent urination describes an overwhelming need to get to a restroom immediately. It may be accompanied by pain or discomfort in the bladder or urinary tract. Urinary tract infections are the most common cause of frequent or urgent urination. Other causes include: drinking too much liquid, drinking caffeinated or alcoholic beverages, diabetes, pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, when there is pressure on the bladder medications, vaginal infections or prostate enlargement. It’s possible that frequent or urgent urination could be normal for you if you don’t have other symptoms. The treatment plan for frequent or urgent urination is largely dependent on the cause. Antibiotics can help treat infections. Lifestyle changes such as monitoring liquid consumption and urine output or adjusting medications can help some people. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
