Hello. I've been having this problem (frequent urination) pretty good for about 1 year now. I feel tired a lot and I have a outer itching on my vaginal area around my monthly cycle time but I don't have a yeast infection because I've been tested for this many times. I take 20 mg of Lexapro daily and on other medicine. About one year ago, I had a glucose test done at my annual pelvic exam visit, and my sugar was higher than usual but not diabetic. I'm wondering if I might be having diabetic symptoms and not even know it for sure or if it's just a side effect of me taking Lexapro.
After a thorough medical screening you may benefit from referral to a physical therapist (PT) who specializes in treating women with urinary incontinence, urinary frequency, and other bowel & bladder problems. Urinary frequency with no associated underlying medical issue can frequently be treated with pelvic floor rehab to re-train the communication between the brain and the bladder.
How are you? How long have you been experiencing this? What are other symptoms present? It is good that your urine culture is fine. Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition wherein the layered, smooth muscle that surrounds the bladder (detrusor muscle) contracts spastically which results in sustained, high bladder pressure and the urgent need to urinate. Identifiable underlying causes include the following: nerve damage caused by abdominal trauma, pelvic trauma, or surgery; bladder stones; drug side effects; or neurological disease. It would be good to see a doctor wherein a complete medical history; a physical examination; and one or more diagnostic procedures are done to know the diagnosis.
