When you feel a constant urge to urinate, the first thing that comes to mind is urinary tract infection (UTI), a common condition that mainly affects women who were the majority in this discussion. UTI has been suggested by the member who joined the discussion and replied first. She also asked the discussion starter:
Have you had any blood at all in your urine?
This member reported having a little bit blood one morning, but other than the blood and urge to urinate, she didn't really have other symptoms.
Other symptoms of UTI mentioned in the discussion include:
- frequent urination
- dwindling amounts of urine though you feel like you have a lot of it remained in your bladder
- pain during and even after urination
- burning sensation when urinating
- smelly/foul urine
- cloudy urine
- a tinge of blood in urine
Other participants who joined the discussion also reported feeling the need to go to the bathroom even after they just urinated. Many decided to wait until the problem resolves on its own, however, it is crucial to make an appointment with a doctor or urologist, especially if the frequent urination and strong, constant urge to empty the bladder has been caused by UTI.
Many participants visited their doctors who performed a physical exam and laboratory tests, namely the urine test. In many cases, the tests didn't show any sign of a bacterial infection, thus excluding UTI as a possible culprit.
If there is no infection present this could be interstitial cystitis. Do ask to be referred to a urologist for help.
Interstitial cystitis, a chronic bladder health issue, has been also mentioned as a possible cause for a constant urge to urinate. Signs and symptoms of interstitial cystitis may resemble those of a chronic urinary tract infection, such as pain, frequent urination, and constant urge to urinate, however, there's usually no infection.
As suggested in the discussion, interstitial cystitis is an incurable disorder and can be a recurring problem throughout life. One participant said that she was recommended a surgery called hydrodistention to confirm that she has interstitial cystitis. Her doctor said the surgery can cure people of the cystitis
Possibly this pressure might be a kidney stone or stones?
One participant in the discussion reported having kidney infection caused by 3 kidney stones, which was mistaken for a bladder infection, due to almost indistinguishable symptoms.
...until you pass a stone or have horrific pain known as renal colic.
Diverticulitis was also named as one of the possible causes because this condition also has similar pains as kidney stones/infections and bladder infections. Other conditioned reported were a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, and hypercalciuria among others.
The participants also mentioned some medications that could help alleviate the symptoms, such as antidepressants and medications called Cystitat and Elmiron for people with interstitial cystitis. Several members recommended a medication called AZO (phenazopyridine hydrochloride). Others said that anyone should make an appointment before starting using any over the counter medications.
Is there anything you can take at home to make the constant peeing stop?
Natural remedies have been mentioned as well, mostly cranberry juice, plenty of water, white vinegar in water, honey, baking soda, etc. The people with this problem have been also advised to stay away from anything acidic in their diet, including tomatoes and anything with tomatoes in it (pizza, spaghetti, etc), orange juice, oranges, lemon, etc. Several participants recommended using Ashwagandha (aka Indian Ginseng, Winter Cherry), which is not recommended by the FDA.
What do experts say?
Frequent urination and constant urge to urinate are often associated with the disorders and conditions of the urinary tract, although they may be a sign of other conditions such as metabolic or neurological conditions.
Urinary System Conditions
Of urinary tract conditions that may cause frequent urination, the two are the most prominent, including urinary tract infection (UTI) and interstitial cystitis.
Urinary Tract InfectionA urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that can occur in any part of the urinary system, including kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. However, most UTIs involve the lower urinary tract, i.e. the bladder and the urethra. The most common cause of UTI is bacteria that enter the urethra, usually from improper wiping after urination, or even sexual intercourse. Women are at greater risk of developing a UTI than are men, especially women with the shorter urethra, which allow bacteria quick access to the bladder.
Signs and symptoms of UTI include:
- A strong, persistent urge to urinate
- A burning sensation when urinating
- Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
- Cloudy urine
- Red, bright pink or cola-colored urine, which may be a sign of blood in the urine
- Strong-smelling urine
- Pelvic pain, in women
Different types of UTI may result in more-specific signs and symptoms, depending on which part of the urinary tract is affected. UTI can also cause serious complications if it spreads to the kidneys.
Interstitial CystitisInterstitial cystitis, also known as a painful bladder syndrome, is a condition similar to UTI, but it's not caused by the infection. The signs and symptoms of interstitial cystitis are similar to those of UTI and may vary from person to person. These include:
- Pain in the pelvis
- Perineum pain (between the vagina and anus in women and between the scrotum and anus in men)
- A persistent, urgent need to urinate
- Frequent urination, often of small amounts, throughout the day and night
- Pain or discomfort with a full bladder that subsides after urinating
- Pain during sexual intercourse
Interstitial cystitis most often affects women. There's no cure, but some therapies may provide relief.
In men over 40, benign prostate enlargement can be a main cause of frequent urination with small amounts and strong urge to urinate.
Non-Urinary Conditions
Other conditions, not related to the urinary tract may also cause a strong urge to urinate and frequent urination. These may include:
Anxiety and stressMany people feel the urge to go to the restroom when they are anxious or stressed. Both anxiety and stress are common causes of frequent urination, mostly because they increase muscle tension and hyperactivity of peripheral nerves.
DiabetesHigh blood sugar can cause an increase in the amount of urine produced, resulting in urgency, frequent urination, and possibly incontinence. Many people with diabetes may experience bladder problems and even urinary tract infections. Women with diabetes have up to a 70% greater risk of developing urinary incontinence.
Neurological conditionsDifferent neurological disorders such as stroke, brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, and degenerative diseases can cause urgent and frequent urination since the function of the bladder is regulated by the nervous system.
Some lifestyle habits, such as alcohol and coffee consumption can also cause frequent urination. Some medications can also cause urgent and frequent urination.

Discussion highlights
What symptoms have been reported?
- I, too, have pressure on my bladder and I feel like I have to urinate all the time (usually at night when I am trying to sleep) and I also feel like I have to have a bowel movement.
- Towards the end of peeing it's not a burning sensation but more of a pressure on bladder/stopped my pee in mid-flow sensation.
- indicating that I need to pee more basically but nothing comes out!
- I have had these sensations for 3 years and it still has not subsided.
- A dull uncomfortable burning in the urethra and a constant urge to pee even when your bladder is completely empty.
- the way i can describe it is it feels very compact and tight in my lower left quadrant area.
- but even after I peed, I still felt the need to go.
- I thought the sensation might pass, but it didnt, and I've been feeling like I need to use the bathroom constantly: although it's worse when I stand up.
- Just this week, i've started to get the sensation to pee.
- even though i did like 15 minutes ago.
- >.> I don't feel any pain down there, and there is no blood.
- well not that i notice of?
- when i think about it while i feel the sensation.
- it makes me feels like i'm going to burst out when i try to hold it in.
- and a strange thing is,, sometimes the sensation comes and sometimes it doesn't.
- But most of the time it happens during the day for some strange reason?
- i rarely feel the sensation to pee at night.
- but all day today i get the feeling I have to pee but nothing come, then i started pulling my tummy up and then i started to urine.
- and my left bottom side does not hurt but makes me feellike my bladder is ful.
- what if your not a girl, and you constantly feel like you have to pee.
- and when you stand to take a piss you just like piss for half a second.
- that's what happens to me and Im a guy lmao I have it during the day but at night its horrible, I go to pee and its a waste of time and once I lay back down I feel like I have to go again.
- I must attempt going to the bathroom over 5 times a night before finally falling asleep.
- Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.
- My bladder does not always empty and then I am miserable.
- I'm seventeen and a female, I've been having this feeling of needing to pee more straight after going to the toilet but only a drop comes out.
- until today lunch time the feeling was back BUT WORSE!
- It all started from having sexual intercourse with my boyfriend, who's my first sexual partner and I haven't been tested for an STI yet.
- got treated though and didn't have any problems) I have had sex two days ago and it was fine apart from my vulva was a bit sore.
- im 37 male plzzzz help me i have to pee lot all the time and i come-out lon flower pee come out flow reat 8 is been 2 yer now when i pee very lot pee come out
- It does come and go sometimes but no doctor (out of the three I've gone to including a urologist) can determine what's wrong.
- It has gotten better, but today, I stayed home from school because we were going on a field trip and we weren't going to have a rest stop for 4 hours.
- :'( I have the feeling like I have to constantly have to pee sometimes it feels worse when i stand up.
- I pee and can't empty my bladder unless i go twice a few times in a row.
- then i still feel like it.
- I also feel like I leek.
- But I think this is very normal and reminds me of an example when I went for my driving test 8 years ago now and my instructor asked me if I needed the loo before I went for the exam and I remember saying yes because I was so nervous (but this shows that this is common), but it could be all kinds of reasons but the main thing is not to let it drag as it may have a long term effect if not dealt with.
- I have the same thing, it's been happening for about a week too.
- For the past 2 weeks, there has only been one day where I've not had symptops.
- All the other days have mostly been strong during my waking hours.
- A little bit less in the morning.
- I don't get up in the night and I don't have urges during the night when I do wake up.
- At least not the same urgency feel.
- i am a 20 yr old girl and i have had frequent peeing for almost 4 years.
- i started having sex when i was 14 and my peeing stayed normal, but when i was 16 i unfortunatly had an abortion and it seemed to start after that.
- when i had just turned 18 i started dating a man that was a little more longer (d**k) than anyone else i had ever been with he seem to make my peeing problem a little worse.
- i pee atleast every hour and most times probably about 3x durning the night, it literally wakes me up and wont let me go back to sleep unless i get up and pee, at night i dont pee out a lot but during the day i do.
- i dont have any pain with peeing but holding it completely kills me and my job as a receptionist doesnt allow me to just get up and pee whenever i want to i have to literally wait for someone to let me go to the bathroom and holding it really hurts.
- I have been having this for about 4 or 5 months now, and its gotten so bad that i just cant sit still it doesnt necesarily hurt, but its so uncomfortable i just want to cry i keep crossing my legs and i cant sit still and i live UPSTAIRS with like 15 steps that are SO HARD TO CLIMB when u have to pee that bad.
- when i go to restroom to pee when i stand up from commode so for a while i feel that i have leakage in my pants so i check it continuously and i don't have diabetes and i m taking antibiotics
- I have had to pee non stop since the first of January.
- ive had this for a couple years but in the past few weeks and months have started healing it.
- any added salt, even if its considered a more healthy salt, makes it worse.
- things weren't perfect as in my situation things had been seriously problematic before the whole fruits, vegs, and potato diet if you remember, my point is i had been coming from a really bad place and had a lot of healing to do so while it wasn't perfect things were a lot easier to deal with and seemed to be healing.
- using the bathroom to urinate was a much nicer process, i wasn't ending feeling like there was more left or that i couldn't get it all out and overall things just felt a lot better down there.
- then yesterday after a bad day i decided to make flatbread which is just white flour and water and it was a very bad night with my urination system.
- i didn't even use salt or oil and it was still this bad.
- i am finding even fruits and vegetables are irritating for me but in a different way than the other foods i mentioned.
- after i ,masterbate .then pee and prepare to walk away from the restroom i get an urging sensation at th tip of my penis, it makes me go back to the batroom a urinate some more which turns to a sick gameof double dribble it dousnt really burn it just yourns
- its not sore but is soo annoying,constantly going toilet only for a few drops to come out yet it feels like i have a full bladder and im going to burst?
- Hi, I've been having this similar issue for 10 years now.
- It started at the age of 12,and I got it almost 4 times a week.
- I would have the urge to go and I would need to run.
- When I went only a tiny bit would come out.
- I couldn't sleep when I had it because I would have to run to the bathroom all night.
- 10 years later it doesn't happen as much but I have found that putting a hot pillow on my pelvic area and keeping warms helps.
- lately i feel like i have to constantly have to urine even after ive just went to the bathroom, im starting to get scared now, cuz i have no idea what it could be, iit jus recently started happening, there is no pain during or after urinated just the sensation that i have to go
- Hi:-) I got up this morning, and felt the urge to go to pee.
- About a week ago, out of the blue, I got up to go to the bathroom in the morning, and after I "relieved myself", I had to go again not 5 minutes later!
- And ever since then, It has been happening all day, everyday for over a week.
- i thought thia worked for me because after 2 days, i felt fine, but 2 days after that, it came back and now i feel crappy again.
- I have the same issue (constantly having too urinate).
- I am 17 years old and a senior in high school and my 'urge to go' is practically ruining my life at school, home, and even work!
- Here are my symptoms:: About two weeks ago I started having VERY foul smelling urine.
- Then about a week and a half ago I started getting the urge 'to go'.
- Now:: It's gotten so bad that in the mornings I will stay on the toliet for up to thirty minutes, hoping that if I'm relaxed I can pee more.
- Then I have the sensation to go the entire day, I go frequently and when I need to go, it's not a gradual thing.
- I suddenly REALLY have to go and I find myself running to the restroom every hour to really go, then not very much comes out.
- I on the other hand have felt like I have to pee all the time since i got pregnant 6 years ago.
- I am in pain every damn day and am loosing my mind.
- Normally you have a fever with infection and also with diveticulitis, but not necessarily with kidney stones and last diverticulitis attack I had, there was no fever!
- My temperature was normal!
- my symptoms are having the URGE to urinate at times.
- it constantly comes and goes just recently.
- i'd say about 2 weeks now and its driving me NUTS!
- and after urinating, it feels so uncomfortable that i cant eve stay still!
- and during intercourse, theres no pain, just a weird feeling.
- I have felt like I have to urinate for A MONTH now (24/7!)!
- It is SO uncomfortable it is DRIVING ME CRAZY!
- I'm wondering if it has anything to do with peri- menopause, since I am getting other symptoms of that (I'm 49 years old).
- just had a kidney stone but still have the INTENSE urge to pee all the time.
- i'm also pre-menopausal.
- I couldn't go out because I constantly felt like I had to pee and I started skipping a lot of my classes because it was more comfortable and much less embarrassing to suffer at home.
- ok i have to pee alot but it doesnt burn at all i just get a funny feeling when the stream is finished and there is no blood in my urine just little drops when i wipe it just started out of the blue and has been going on for 3 days now im not sure if its uti or implantation bleeding
- I have had similar symptoms as stated above, except there is something very odd that happens to me and it has happened both times I have had a UTI now.
- :/ i am really scared because i also feel sick and am having a sore stomach at the same time?
- It's been happening for a couple of days now.
- I'll get up (sometimes at 4am) to pee, and maybe it'll work the first time, but every time after that, nothing.
- Maybe a few drops.
- And it always feels intensely uncomfortable right before those few drops come out.
- Lately i've had a new symptom come up, where my stomach aches and I feel like a BM, but it just doesn't happen, or it feels like i'm intensely constipated.
- Out of curiosity, I wiped the area to see if anything was happening (BM wise) and there wasn't anything at all.
- Even though it felt like I was in the middle of a BM.
- Ive had the same thing for awhile now 2 days and it went away but its just ur prostate is just enlarging.
- Frequent need to urinate, couldn't get through a movie without having to go to the bathroom 2 times, up 3 times in the night to go urinate, almost an inability to hold my urine the urge was so great.
- I started drinking diet pops, pepsi, coke.
- etc, shortly after that I noticed something I started Urinating alot more then normal.
- I couldn't sleep through the night without going to the bathroom at least 1 time, it got to the point I almost couldn't hold my Urine at times, this coming from a guy who was able to normally go to a movie like lord of the rings and drink his large pop before the previews were completed and be able to sit through the entire movie.
- What do you know my urge to Urinate suddenly and I mean within 2 days went back to normal.
- I could sit through a movie no problem now, I could sleep through the night, it was quite liberating but puzzling.
- By day 3 I was again almost unable to hold my Urine, and I wasn't able to sleep through the night.
- The following week I switched back to regular Pop and the same thing happened I was no able to hold my Urine and sleep through the night no problem.
- I then tried a week with Water only, this was very tough, Now even though I did have to Urinate a lot I was able to hold it for an extended period if I needed to, like watching a movie, the urge was there but the ability to hold it did not go away.
- So One morning i woke up, and i had to pee.
- Which is normal.
- When I was nearly finished peeing, It started to hurt.
- Just a really uncomfortable hurt.
- Since then, off and on i have sensations like i have to pee, and a somewhat itch or burn.
- So I have been having these symptoms for about three months now, no blood in my urine, but constantly have to pee or feel I have to even right after I just went.
- hey, i have had the same problem for over a week now and i feel so uncomfortable, it feels like its going to explode all out when i try to pee.
- and when i have sex it just feels uncomfortable also, but yes it is better when i am sitting down, but my job requires me to stand up.
- I have been having a similar problem for about three months now.
- It starts with urination, I will use the restroom and then the need to pee doesn't go away;
- it almost feels like I am having sexual stimulation, mini orgasm that won't end or climax.
- i lost my virginity a few days ago, then we had sex again yesterday but he went a little deeper (sorry tmi), and today i started feeling the urge to pee every hour or so, maybe less than that.
- and as the day went on it got more frequent and now the urge to go hasnt gone away.
- i try and go but nothing comes out, and if it does its a very little bit.
- when i pee it burns right before i go, but not while im going, and then its a weird feeling after (almost a burning feeling) and then it goes away in maybe 30 seconds.
- and while we were having sex, and during foreplay, i sort of had to go pee, but not badly.
- I CAN'T SEEM TO PEE AND IF YOU CAN OFFER SOMETHING THAT I CAN BUY OVER THE COUNTER UNTIL I CAN MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DOCTOR I WOULD BE VERY GREATFUL.
- Ok this is pretty weird within the last 2 hours i have pee'd twice and now i have to go again.
- This every 30 min urinating is starting to bug me because never have i been a situation similar to this before.
- I've had this happen on and off for several years, although now that I know how to control it (more or less), it is not so bad.
- For a time it was almost every time I went to the bathroom.
- I hate this feeling, it showed up after my 3 hour trip ride back to school.
- The entire ride I didn't have the sensation that I had to use the restroom until like the last 20 minutes of my ride, I figured "might as well hold it for the next 20 minutes and I can go as soon as I get to the dorms" That'e exactly what I did and now the feeling hasn't left.
- I have went to the bathroom to relieve myself, then after that i will feel like i have to pee but cant.
- That is the only symptom i have had, but every once in a while i will have a burning sensation.
- Because it will be so bad that i cant sit down cause it is uncomfortable.
- I will also sit in the bathroom and drink water to try to get relaxed.
- Then i will be in bed and have the feeling and i will be up and down.
- I dont feel like this all the time.
- I have been drinking a lot of water and then if i just drink a little bit of coke i feel like this.
- I haven't been feeling like I have had the erge to pee any more I hope it is helping hut my back is hurting a little from the kidney infection.
- Exept it comes and goes.
- Over summer it happened for about a week tgen stopped.
- Then again a few month after and now it's back, I haven't been to the doctor yet but maybe I should?
- Though I've always had the urgency and frequency to go since I was a little child.
- However it wasn't really bad.
- But the past few years it has gotten worse.
- I don't have a social life outside of my college classes because I am always needing to use the bathroom.
- I have my good days with my bladder problem and my bad days.
- On good days I can go up to four hours without the urge or frequency to go.
- But days like today I am going every five minutes.
- I wake up maybe two - three times during the night just to use the bathroom and wake up feeling like I got no sleep so during the day I am a zombie.
- Like today I feel like if I don't get to the bathroom quick I will have an accident.
- During my menstral cycle its worse.
- It has been happening with me since three and a half months ago, I had this problem before though.It's a bladder-infection, I am pretty sure.
- I had it for a couple of days, I now have it lightly.
- It's very hard to sleep also.
- i am having the same urinary urgency problem .
- I have had the sames problems, But for me it doesnt happen a ot at a time.
- Its like once every 1 or 2 months.
- And afterwards it goes away about after like 10 minutes.
- Sometimes i poop and the feeling goes away.
- It just depends.
- had this problem through out my life its rare for me to have it but its annoying i just drink loads of water then in 2hrs i acctually need to go and the feelings gone xxxx

- Late I feel like I have to constantly have to urine even after I have went to the bathroom.
- Hi I'm only 13 but about a week ago while we were driving for a while I noticed that I felt like I had to pee, even though my bladder felt full.
- Now, a week later I still feel, on and off, like I need to pee even though I know I really don't.
- When I have this constant need to pee, and I can't even sit still, I get up and go to the bathroom but not much comes out.

- but in the begining when i had those urges i got it to go away with eatting pure honey.
- I woke up one morning and went to the bathroom to urinate.
- Then kept going throughout the day frequently.
- The only thing that makes the urge go away is when I play with my clit or rub over my urthea?
- i had it for neally 2 weeks its just a surveer water infecthion drink plenty off cranberry juice and summer fruit's it just goes i felt like i constently needed to urinate every hour but after a few days it just goes.
- Ever since i was a little boy i have had this happen to me on occaisons, i go to the toilet, pee, but then i still have the feeling like i need to pee yet nothing comes out or only a little urine comes out, sometimes happens after sex when i go to the toilet aswell.
- I discovered when i was younger that if i laid in the fetal position the feeling would pass after about 10 - 30 minutes, also i have found that giving myself an erection stops the feeling Not sure if if this will work for women, especially the erection part lol xD No idea what it is that causes the problems and ive been told it could be one of many reasons Hope this helps as i know how annoying it can be
- I ALWAYS get the sensation that i have to urinate but i dont really need to.
- Ive had this problem since i was about 9 that is also when i started my period and i thought it had something to to with that but now after reading the comments i might have an infection but idk because my dr does urine test on me when i have a physical and im having one tomorrow so ill see what she says and btw i dont have the urge to ALLthe time but its been real bad for me this week especially since it was hot yesterday but not so bad today i just feel really unconfortable sine i had the feeling to go pee and hot and sweaty
- I could drink coffee and tea with no problems, but a 20 oz diet soda guaranteed a pee stop 20 minutes later.
- I wake up early every morning feeling like I have to pee and then I can't!
- Then i can't go back to bed.
- I am so tired!
- I am now starting to feel it at night.
- I just don't feel comfortable.
- feel like I have to pee.
- I have dealt with these symptoms for over 5 years now i had a cystoscopy been on anti biotics and in the end nothing was found.
- everytime i go for a pee i wait 45 mins have to go again but only becasue im pushing to see if i need to go which then sparks things up.
- I had the same thing where I had to pee constantly when I was younger and doctor said just to drink lots of water but I don't know if it's the same thing.
- I was upset with her at the beginning thinking that she is playing up with me as she wants to avoid studying and going to bed but when i realized its not that i took her to doctor.
- And it keeps happening all the time.
- Every five minutes she needs to go to toilet and sometimes stays there for 10/15 minutes saying that she is not done.
- I have this happen all the time and I have found that it ussually happens when i drink to many carbonated drinks and not enough water.
- Some symptoms will be very yellow urine a day or two before the sensations begin.
- I can't even sleep at night because of it, I'm losing my mind.
- I notice it the most at night and it feels impossible to sleep because I feel the urge to pee but nothing comes out.
- This is kind of weird but my daughter and I both have the same problem at the same time, I believe mine is because of an enlarged prostrate, I'm 56.
- Both feel like we need to pee frequently.
- Yet the bladder's are not even close to full.
- It's like an irritated bladder situation.
- I have the same problem I normally try to ignore it but sometimes it get so bad that ill talk to my mom.
- But when it goes away it comes back a few months later.
- I'm not sure what it is but I've learned if I push on my bladder before I get up to "go" and it don't feel like an emergency I just don't get up and go.
- Then I won't have the problem all day of the feel of needing to "go".
- I'm 12 and I had this problem since I was little.
- Really little.
- I pee and get the feeling to pee again really badly.
- I stay in the bathroom for an hour and its so annoying.
- Since then I have had on again off again bouts of pressure and burning, but have gone to the doctor and all of my test came back negative.
- I went to my doctor and they did tests and It has been happening for over 2 years and I have to go to school and it gets even worse having to do gym so I make excuses to sit down all the time.
- This feeling is going to drive me insane.
- I thought if i just drank a lot of water it would go away, it helped some but the sensation came back the next day.
- Hello i am an 18 year old male I went to the doctor about a week ago because one day i woke up and i had this feeling like i constantly needed to pee and the feeling would get worst when I sat down.
- The feeling lasted 3 days after that i was fine for about 3 weeks and then one day after I had finished working out i went to my bed to lie down and listen to some music.
- after about 15 to 20 minutes i felt the urge to pee and i got up and went to the bathroom and relieved myself.
- when i came back to my bed i noticed the feeling of needing to pee all the time was back, after a few days the feeling got worst and there was sort of an itchy feeling associated with it.
- About a week or so later i was still having the feeling (except for the itching part which went away)and now the feeling would get worst when i sat and when I layed down so it was really hard to sleep and i would stay up super late so i could get so tired that i could fall asleep fast and not have to feel the annoying feeling for a long time.
- About a week past and the problem got worst sitting down and laying down felt horrible so i asked my mom to let me go into the urologist.
- for 3 days it went on like this then the 4th day the feeling came back almost as bad as it used to be but it still didnt feel as bad as it had before the smooth lax and at least now i could sit better and sleep without as much annoyance.
- My symptoms have been severe my bladder has been in horrible pain and im peeing like every 5 min.
- HI, I also had a similar problem: -Irritable feeling in urethra -frequency -Not fully emptying bladder -Sumtimes flank pain -Microscopic hematuria and a puss cell in urine test Anyway I had various tests done and went through lots of meds.
- I have a lot of pressure in my virgina feels like I want to wee all the time and when I do wee the pressure feels worse for a while.
- I have had this for3 days now.just pressure but no pain.
- I've had this same sort of problem I am 17 and it will go away and then come back from time to time but when it's there I always have a constant urge to pee and when I do often very little comes out, I went to the doctor and did a urine test and they found nothing all he said was drink more water and have more acidic things.
- However it still happens and is severely uncomfortable and makes living life kind of hellish.
- I have had this problem since I was 3 yrs old!
- I can't sleep I can't eat I can't do anything!
- Both times happened around my period my is almost over and got this urge or feeling like pressure and i have no kids so idk
- I had this problem about 2 years ago it just happened out of the blue while I was at school and it would not go away!
- But then for a year it went away and I was so happy and hoped that it was gone for good!
- But then near the beginning of this month out of no where it happened again and it won't go away!
- It's been almost a month and I want it to stop!
- after I do go it feels like I still have to go.
- There is no burning sensation when I go.
- I always feel like I have to urinate even though I just went to the batthroom
- I still feel like I have to pee even though I just went.Still have urine in my bladder!
- I j7st urinated, but I feel like there is urine still in my bladder
- I have had a feeling of constantly needing to Pee since January, I have went to the doctors multiple times and they cant seem to find anything wrong but when i was up at the hospital last month i was told that the feeling was because my bladder just go use to going often and that i should try and train my bladder.
- It has now been over a month and i have seen no improvement except that i am going to the toilet less because i am supposed to hold it on for a little bit.
- This feeling is really annoying and it just feels like i have been constantly holding in the urine, please help.
- Me having to go pee every minute constantly happen to me.
- As soon as i drink water after 39 min i feel like i want to pee.
- When I was little 5th or 6th grade I had the same problem (feeling the urge to pee even though I knew that I didn't actually have to go because I just went) and my doctor said that it was caused by an excessive intake of sodium (salt) in my diet and that if I drank a glass of cranberry juice a day I would get better and it worked!
- what if you dont have any of those symptoms except for a cramp sort of sensation in the urinary area.
- i have gotten up to go the the restroom atleast three times in the past 5 minutes.
- My problems that bad that i often dont get out the bathroom before i have to turn around and another pee.
- Im in and out of bed all night and so dont get any sleep either.
- I never had probd before from having had a smaller baby.
- I fill to pee somuch but whene i go to pee i just pee couple drup why
- I would like to no hy I have to urinate when I am lying down
- I have to take a raging piss every 10 freaking seconds.
- I constantly feel like I have to urinate after using the bathroom with a (throbbing) discomfort sensation
- Well i have a penis and have the same problem although i DO drink tons of water and actually can go when i go to take a piss
- I have to get botox injections in my bladder every few months otherwise I feel like I have to urinate constantly.
- I've been dealing with this every day for 2 YEARS.
- Still burns every time often feels like glass in urethra.
- I drank it for a year and retained the infection with house on fire burning.
- I'm so uncomfortable all the time.
- But it happens only after dinner with me not after breakfast not after lunch just after dinner and its only when I sit on chair Once I go to bed it's all gone
- Omg this sounds like what I have interstitial cystitis and I also have ibs, there is no end to my pain and if I have this cystitis i don't know what I'm gonna do, been having urine problems for only 2days but ib s pain is daily i can't take another thing that won't go away.
- The spasms and burning are unbearable.
- I'm on day 2 and still in pain.
- More good days than bad days.
What medications and home remedies helped relieve the symptoms?
- so I got given a 3 day course of antibiotics for cystitis.
- If by the next month it does not improve, he will prescribe some medication.
- in the meantime, i have also been taking a couple of OTC drugs called Cystex, and Uristat.
- I believe Uristat is like a drug called Peredium (not sure if i spelled that right), that doctors prescribe for the "frequent urge to have to go all the time".
- I also tried the generic form of AZO (phenazopyridine hydrochloride).
- Over the counter AZO is the best on the market.
- AZO, you can find it at any Walmart in the pharmacy section.
- I have to get botox injections in my bladder every few months otherwise I feel like I have to urinate constantly.
- Multiple types of antibiotics.
- They worked fine and felt better 5 days ago.
- i been on 2 lots of antibiotics but still no help i,m back at docs today getting fed up of it now
- when i go to restroom to pee when i stand up from commode so for a while i feel that i have leakage in my pants so i check it continuously and i don't have diabetes and i m taking antibiotics
- Either way, there are pills you can buy over the counter to cure the infection- and as it is very common, you have nothing to be embarrassed about when asking for them.
- She prescribed me some meds to take care of it.
- in the meantime though, i got another doctor to prescribe me bactrim, an antibiotic, just in case i do have bacteria in my bladder, and the test missed it (this has happened to me many times.
- it won't show up at the doc's but it will show up when i go to the emergency room a day later).
- so i have been taking bactrim for almost two days now, and maybe seen a little improvement, if any at all.
- sometimes those medications help me, other times they don't.
- First i took an antibiotic powder (i forgot the name) that you mix in a drink and it tastes like oranges.
- it's some kind of antibiotic that stays in the system for 7 days and adheres to the bladder lining to kill the bacteria.
- If you have cystitis, there are certain meds that can alleviate the pain for certain people, such as anti depressants and medications called Cystitat and Elmiron.
- but you can take that, and call your doc, tell him it came out positive (if it did) and he may prescribe antibiotics over the phone.
- It is a fact that more and more doctors are prescribing antibiotics for uti's over the phone, without having to see the patient, just by the patient describing their symptoms to the doc.
- (that is what i just did).
- i mean you might feel like going to urinate while you and your partner have foreplay and then you guys have sex while you are pressed,a solution is taking peflotab tablet
- I'm just wondering if anyone out there knows of any OTC drugs that will help this!
- there is a over that counter medication that can help with your pain.
- It is called azo standard.
- they can put you on an antibiotic to clear it up.
- If you take the azo standard it will help you feel better but it does not heal you and you will need to see your doctor again.
- suggestion: Driptane 5mg scored tablet 1 tablet 3 x a day for 5 days alterate hot and cold to the pelvic area for 30 minutes twice a day.
- If it doesn't go away after drinking that for like 2 days, then call a doctor to get the pills you need to make it go away.
- Before messing around with ovder the counter medications, make an appt.
- Messing around with over the counter treatment could be dangerous.
- Your over the counter treatments will not touch these.
- One gynecologist said there is nothing wrong with me, but gave me an antibiotic anyway (Nitrofur-macr) which didn't help.
- I had no idea I even had cysts, I am on the pill so there was no need to check for them.
- I found this website to help, as I don't like taking medication.
- I CAN'T SEEM TO PEE AND IF YOU CAN OFFER SOMETHING THAT I CAN BUY OVER THE COUNTER UNTIL I CAN MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DOCTOR I WOULD BE VERY GREATFUL.
- The doctor asked me if I was currently taking any medicine or vitamins and as it were I had been taking Vitamin C tablets to help get rid of a string of colds I had been having.
- You use peroxide on your scars to clean it, and it stings.
- I ended up going to the doctor and I had a kidney infection he gave me some medincie and with the medicine you have to drink plenty of water.
- They doctor will give you meds for it one will numb your bladder so you won't have that urge and another so it will cure the infection.
- but you have to go to the doctor to get the meds
- It doesn't mean if that is what my doctor said it could be that it will go away forever but it will help for a few years especially when taking medicine with it and maintaining a diet.
- Then he will give you some antibiotics if it comes up positive.
- They gave me pills to take and now i feel fine.
- basically, get a hot water bottle and sit on it, might sound a bit odd but after about 5 minutes its stops you from needing to go for a wee constantly, also take a few paracetamols, or penicillins, and buy yourself a couple of cartons of cranberry juice.
- however i have had it before and i did go to the doctors and they prescribed me some tablets but i didnt feel like the tablets helped that much so i have used my own home remedy.
- I haven't gone to the doctor yet because I haven't had the chance, and haven't tried any antibiotics.
- I will maybe try the home test again, and if push comes to shove, go to the doctor for antibiotics and I really hope it'll get better cause its so annoying and uncomfortable.
- What meds did the Dr give you?
- Also try taking AZO pills on top of that (red round pills available OTC).
- If any time after the burning and need to pee feelings stop you began to feel them coming on again DON'T wait to chug more juice and take more pills (following labels of course).
- I have dealt with these symptoms for over 5 years now i had a cystoscopy been on anti biotics and in the end nothing was found.
- I gave her the prescribed tonic.
- stopped for couple of days but came back again so took her to another doctor.
- This should get rid of it and if you've tried and it doesn't it may be time for antibiotics because it's nothing to mess with and can cause problems if it goes up into your bladder and kidneys.
- NEVER take a few penicillins you need to complete a whole course or take none at all!
- I keep calling the doctor to get antibiotics but then it comes right back.
- If this doesn't help in about a week or so definately go get some antibiotics from the doctor.
- I had a UTI in April of last year, after trying everything over the counter I finally went to a Minute clinic and they gave me Cipro, which worked but after two weeks it was back, went to my gyn she gave me Bactrim, which helped.
- My GP just put me on Levsin which helps but it makes me tired.
- what over the counter pills can you buy?
- I don't know if this is a common symptom for either of them but after I was on the meds I felt better but it may have been for something different.
- She then recomended a stoole softner called Smooth Lax which i could get from Walgreens and she said i should take it every hour for 4-6 hours the first day then once in the morning for about 4 more days ( Dont take for more than 7 days the bottle says so).
- for 3 days it went on like this then the 4th day the feeling came back almost as bad as it used to be but it still didnt feel as bad as it had before the smooth lax and at least now i could sit better and sleep without as much annoyance.
- This week i went in for an X ray and another ultrasound and i havent got back any news but i do feel better and its easier to lay down but i still feel like i need pee all the time but i do believe the smooth Lax helped.
- I just found out today that I have another UTI its the 3rd one in the last three months & its always Enteroccus species 10,000-50,000 & I just started on Microbid twice a day.
- 2 and a half weeks ago I had a worse UTI where i was peeing blood clots and it wasnt my period that scared me so i called the dr and i was put on Cipro that apperently didnt work because now here i am with another UTI this time taking Microbid this is getting to a point where its starting to affect my daily activties.
- I just finished my last dose of Macrobid Im not sure if my UTI went completely away I hope so if not im thinking I may try the vinegar so sick of these UTIs.
- i got medicine and i got better but i didn't finish the medicine since i felt i was ok.
- Do seek medical attention immediately, however you can utilize alka seltzer tablets with water to ease the symptoms.
- HI, I also had a similar problem: -Irritable feeling in urethra -frequency -Not fully emptying bladder -Sumtimes flank pain -Microscopic hematuria and a puss cell in urine test Anyway I had various tests done and went through lots of meds.
- However, the ultimate test when it comes to urinary problems is a cystoscopy (a thin flexible tube with a tiny camera is inserted through the urthera, the doctor is then able to see any blockages, inflammation, abnormalities.etc in the urinary system) It is a painless procedure and I was diagnosed with PBNO (primary bladder neck obstruction), which I am currenlty taking meds for.
- It's not a water infection I am on tablets and medicen NOTHING WILL TAKE IT AWAY!
- I been having the same thing happing last month the doc gave me med for a uti seemed to help now this mont its back again could it be possible another one or is it domething else?
- To combat possible anxiety it's useful to pick up meditation or HRV training (google it).
- Cacan I was young I had several I had to get my bladder stretched in my twenties I sound really tough but worked ,what works they have red pills at the drugstore for the burning sensation, take acidophilus everyday also cranberry pills ,drinking cranberry after is acid and it aggravates it, you have to drink it everyday or take the pill everyday it's stop from attaching to the wall of the bladder, second go to the doctor if you scared to get bladder stretch would actually help ask if there is a pill like ampicillin ,or Macabid maybe they have something you need to take it if you know before you have sex or right after sex it's good to drink water before and after and go to bathroom immediately after when having sex you should use a lubricant like Astroglide and help the irritation and if you irritated at the end of sex use Vaseline in that area make sure its clean that help me get less almost down to none .
- What are the pills called ?
- i just drink lots of water and it helps, however if that doesnt help for you, you may have to go to your doctor and give them a pee sample and they can give you antibiotics to help
- My mom has the same thing and she takes an AZO every morning
- Also taking Azo.
- I've had these symptoms for over a week and I'm afraid I have interstitial cystitis cause my GP was perplexed that I still had symptoms after antibiotics.
- What pills do I take
- I just heard from a friend who has suffered from urinary tract infections for years that it's suppose to be apple cider vinager with water, which doesn't taste bad at all.
- Put 2 tablespoons of white vinegar in a glass of water and drink it.
- I tried TONS of cranberry pills, vitamin C and probiotics.
- Actually Vinegar DOES help a LOT!
- The best treatment would be to drink water and cranberry juice.
- Also, a hot bath with a couple teaspoons of apple cidar vinegar and if you can have her pull her knees into her chest so the water gets to the urethra and cleans it out.
- Apple cider vinegar, pure cranberry, d manose, colloidal silver, oil of oregano.
- I don't think cranberry juice works for me.
- Drink some crandberry juice, you'll be fine.
- I just started the vinager treatment and will report back how it works.
- Do this three times a day.
- i'm chugging it down right now, i seriously need to get rid of this
- You can also take lots of vitamin c daily- this can help soemtimes.
- i have no money to go the doctors atm but i tried the whole vinager and water, thing and i really hope it works coz that stuff tasted like sh*t!
- Our bodies heal themselves based on our dietary intake, so homeopathic remedies are normally the best for your body in the long run.
- I'll try the vinegar thing.
- I'll try the vinegar and the cranberry juice.
- i suggest to go to walmart or walgreens to get cranberry pills becuz they work pretty fast.
- Well idk if this will help but when I have these problems my grandpa tells me to soak in warm bath water mixed wit vinegar it helps n to drink lots of cranberry juice n water u mite have to pee more at first but it helped me so i hope this helps
- it is more likely that it is a urine infection, all you have to do is drink plenty of clear fluids such as water or another great drink for a uti is cranberry juice drink plenty of this to flush out your urine it works really well, the urge will almost nearly dissappear after a short time.
- Any other ones after that, can just be cleared up with some cranberry juice or some cranberry concentrate pills.
- The pills can be found at any health food store.
- Even after the infection is gone, you should still continue to take the pills on a regular basis because they promote urinary tract health.
- cranberry juice is very good for women and if you drink a couple of glasses of it a day it will help you alot to get rid of the infection.
- I usually drink pure lemon juice or a glass or two of cranberry juice because the acid kills bacteria and as you urinate, it'll be like a clean sweep to wash it out.
- I think vinegar might be bad for this.
- 100% Cranberry juice is what I've always heard to use.
- but in the begining when i had those urges i got it to go away with eatting pure honey.
- just eat a tablespoon or two or honey and it will go right away.
- The cranberry juice is what my mom told me to do too.
- Cranberry juice (ocean spray is what I use because a majority of the others have too much "extra" stuff in them).
- If any time after the burning and need to pee feelings stop you began to feel them coming on again DON'T wait to chug more juice and take more pills (following labels of course).
- Drink more water and cranberry juice.
- as everyone said, i got her vitamin C lollies, give her fresh orange juice still not helping.
- I tried giving her fresh lime juice mixed with water, works a little bit but still doesnt helps it fully go.
- She swears by 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 4-6 ounces of water a few times a day on an empty stomache.
- The bacteria thrives in an acidic body so the baking soda helps alkaline things.
- Another thing she says works is a teaspoon of apple cidar vinagar in a glass of water.
- And lastly, she says drinking pure cranberry juice and/or taking the cranberry pills while also drinking water all day will really help to flush it out.
- Ask your mom to read the above advice regarding drinking water with baking soda, soaking in a hot tub with apple cidar vinagar, and taking cranberry pills to clean it out.
- And she will pick me up cranberrie juice and that helps a lot.
- My sister goes to a Naturopathic Doctor and she insisted I go since I had no relief.
- He recommended a product Jusuru, not just for this problem but for overall health, I'm not sure if any of you have heard of it, but i've been on it since November and I am symptom free.
- True that vinegar is acidic, this being so, when it enters your body it will tirgger an ALKALINE reaction to nuetralize the acid.
- Cranberry juice MAY help prevent UTI's but it does not function as treatment once you already have a UTI.
- I tried the vinegar last night and it worked a treat.
- two hours and I felt great.
- even got rid of the constant urge to pee.
- I just finished my last dose of Macrobid Im not sure if my UTI went completely away I hope so if not im thinking I may try the vinegar so sick of these UTIs.
- It helps to drink cranberry juice.
- I've found this very useful before and it went away.
- APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
- It's worth trying some adaptogen herbs once or twice a week when you need to be calm.
- Ashwaganda has been researched the most and is safe to try.
- Besides adaptogens, theanine is known to aid relaxation.
- Theanine is found in tea but fairly small quantities so a supplement (suntheanine is best) will help.
- Cacan I was young I had several I had to get my bladder stretched in my twenties I sound really tough but worked ,what works they have red pills at the drugstore for the burning sensation, take acidophilus everyday also cranberry pills ,drinking cranberry after is acid and it aggravates it, you have to drink it everyday or take the pill everyday it's stop from attaching to the wall of the bladder, second go to the doctor if you scared to get bladder stretch would actually help ask if there is a pill like ampicillin ,or Macabid maybe they have something you need to take it if you know before you have sex or right after sex it's good to drink water before and after and go to bathroom immediately after when having sex you should use a lubricant like Astroglide and help the irritation and if you irritated at the end of sex use Vaseline in that area make sure its clean that help me get less almost down to none .

- I'm drinking one tablespoon of cider vinegar and one tablespoon of raw honey in hot water.
- Multiple herbal applications.
- Chinese medicine and professor of herbal remedies.
- Theracran or Cranactin and viral vitamin C.
- Cranberry juice is acidic, too, yet others are also advising it and others are trying it.
- Vinegar might help, I'll try anything.
- Drink fluids, take vitamin C, B6, 12, & I just read about B17 that's supposed to help infections (?).
- Had that problem, I drank cranberry juice and it helped me
- Applying some honey or coconut oil directly on to the genitals may provide some immidiate relief I have found.
Verification Claims & Medical Studies

I spoke to my mum about it, and apparently I could have somehing called Cystitis, which is common in women, mainly teenage, and involves bacteria in the urinary tract- which is caused because women have a shorter urethra, which means bacteria outside the body are more liable to get inside.

In conclusion
Frequent and urgent urination is more uncomfortable than a reason to worry. However, if it lasts for a prolonged period of time or if it's accompanied by other bothersome symptoms, you should visit your physician in order to achieve a proper diagnosis.
