Urinary Frequency - 19 Year Old Posted: 06-20-07 03:55am
For the last 5 days I've been having more
and more urge to urinate. So I went to the
doctor thinking I had some infection in my
bladder but the microbiological
examination of my urine stated otherwise;
protein, glucose and blood were all
negative and epithelial cells, casts and
crystals were non-existent. Also my
leucocytes and red cells were below 10
(<10 x 10^6/L)
It seems to be getting better but it's
still there. Health wise I'm OK, I drink a
lot of coke and I've been under a lot of
stress. Any suggestions would be
appreciated. Thanks!

Have you been drinking more soda, coffee,
tea, or alcohol than usual? All of those
can act as diuretics, which means they
tend to make people urinate more
frequently.

I've been having a lot of coke but that
has been the situation for the last 4/5
years, unless my excessive drinking has
finally caught up to me right now I don't
think it's anything I'm having that's
causing my problems.

So it sounds like you were checked for a
uti and for diabetes, and both came back
negative? I am not sure what might be
causing your problem then.
When I was a kid, I could pee like once or
twice a day. When I was your age, I
started peeing more. Now, I pee like
every other hour.
Maybe we're just getting old, or maybe all
of that not peeing enough caught up to me.
Soda never used to make me pee much at
all. Now if I have one with dinner, I pee
all night like a little old lady. Soon
it'll be "no liquids after 6pm" for me.
Maybe we're just getting old, or maybe all
of that not peeing enough caught up to me.
