I am baffled as to why I Urinate so often and I am not a "Diabetic"?

booker-t

I am really scared to go to the doctor but I am going after 5 years of constantly getting up to go to the bathroom especially at night. In the daytime I hardly ever have to use the bathroom. I have been tested for Diabetis for many years and each time the doctor tells me "You are not a Diabetic booker-T" I am terrified now because a good friend of mine who is in his early 40's as I am just found out he has Prostate Cancer. As I was reading some of the symptoms I was horrified to see that frequent Urination is one of the signs. I am so scared but no one in my family has ever had Prostate Cancer that I know of. Also some of the symptoms of Prostate Cancer don't fit me. Such as people with Prostate Cancer will try to Urinate but nothing comes out. Everytime I run to the bathroom alot comes out. Another symptom I don't have blood in my Urine. Also there is no burning when I Urinate. I am so sorry Ladies for being graphic but I am hoping maybe a doctor or nurse out there can relieve my fears. Somebody told me that Kidney problems can make you Urinate excessively. Please Help

Could be prostate problems - don't mess, see your doctor!

I don't know booker when it happens to me is either because of drinking too much coffee or drinking too much beer or eating a lot of watermelon. Otherwise it happens for a few days when the weather turns cold. Urinary tract infections could also be a reason.

hi booker,

maybe you have a urinal infection, try drinking cranberry juice, but you had it for so long maybe you should go to a doctor, sorry its going to happen whether you like it or not, don't be silly go to the DOCTor!you probably need antibiotics anyway! have a check up, i've learnt not to ignore things for too long you only hurting yourself, sorry for being so frank, sometimes you have to do what you have to do!

good luck!

Don't seek medical advice here. Go to your doctor!

In the mean time, check www.webmd.com and search for "frequent" or "excessive urination":

http://www.webmd.com/search/search_results/default.aspx?sourceType=all&query=excessive%20urination

A cuple of leads are: Overactive bladder and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). All treatable but dehydration is of concern.

Cheers.

Have you ever tried to not drink anything after a certain time say 3 to 4 hrs before you usually go to bed?

Any number of things can cause frequent urination. Allergies, for instance. My son had an allergy to something that caused his bladder to swell so that it wouldn't hold as much. He would frequently urinate when his bladder was swollen and the capacity was diminished. When the swelling would go down, he didn't urinate as much, since his bladder held more comfortably.

Also, I've had frequent urination for YEARS, but I wasn't diagnosed as diabetic until within the past 2 yrs. Previously I had hypoglycemia, a forerunner of diabetes.

The best thing you can do is have a prostate exam , men are supposed to do it at least once a year especially old timers . If they can catch the problem early they can help but once you have the cancer you are pretty screwed .
