Frequent Urination

by fllauderdale, Jul 30, 2009 06:17PM
About a month ago I woke up one morning and I had to urinate constantly.  I urinate in the middle of the night, and when I get up in the morning I will go to the bathroom sometimes 2-3 times an hour. This continues throughout the day.  There is no burning or urge its just that I have a full bladder constantly.  I am not thirsty but I have to drink water to keep up with my unrinating or I will get dehydrated.  I went to the doctor and he did a urine test and blood test to make sure it wasn't diabetes or kidney problems and the tests came back with no problems at all.  My lower back hurts as well but the doctor says its probably not related.  It has me worried and annoyed.  Is it possible that I have a pinched nerve thats making me produce more urine? Any suggestions or ideas?

Hello,
What you seem, to be having is called polyuria.The first possibility that is already ruled out is diabetes mellitus.So the other possibilities have to be ruled out.

The other possibilities are interstitial cystitis, interstitial nephritis,lupus,hypercalcemia,hyperthyroidism,hypopituitarism,hypoaldosteronism,hypokalemia,renal glycosuria,Addison’s disease and polycythemia.Pls consult a urologist and get these possibilities ruled out.Since you are having lower back pain also,so kidney disease is an important possibility.

I hope that helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
