urinary urgency, I wanna ask Darrell if he found a solution in the last 7 seven years ?

[georgemm]

Sorry if this is against the rules, but 7 years ago there was a discussion here titled : "Why won't anything work????"   http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Urology/messages/30254.html
- And there was a men Darrell with extremelly similar symptoms. If anybody knows a way I can e-mail him and ask him if he manage to found a way...
- Basically it is about urinary urgency when all the analysis came back negative. No enlarged prostate, no pain, no burning, no discharge, urine culture negative.
  Only symptom is urge to urinate wich after taking many antibiotics (prescribed by the doctor even though the analysis was negative) the urge decreased.
  I don't have the urge at night (like others do). Even when I was very bad and almost cannot leave the house because the urge were very strong, I still didn't have the urge at night. Cranberry tea didn't help at all.
   When I drinked less water - this seem to help even though doctors recomend increase intake of water.
  I am a male - 27 year old. Never had urinay problems before.

I am experiencing the same issue as described and cannot figure out what is wrong with me. I'm going to see my urologist to see what other tests can be done. Like you, I have no pain, no burning, no aches, no pains nothing. I just have this insane urge to use the restroom all the time. I actually go, but afterwards still feel like I need to go. It's infuriating. I'm able to sleep pretty much all night.

Things I've noticed:

Masturbation makes is much, much worse

I kept a food log, but nothing I drink or eat makes it worse or better.

When I'm busy I'm not aware of the problem, but driving home from work, sitting around, I'm aware of the pressure. I wonder sometimes if I'm going crazy.

It seems to get worse in the evenings, but this isn't always the case.

If you have a breakthrough, please let me know. Thanks.

Hmm ..I'm starting to see a pattern here. You are going to see your urologist. .. Let me guess what's gonna happen'. If you are lucky, he will find some infection wich can be cured with some antibiotics. If you are unlucky he will say that you are perfectly fine, and there's no reason to feel that way. And probably you are stressed from you work.
- I don't know what to believe anymore. At first, since my analysis came back negative, I thought that it's definitely not an infection. And not an infections also, because multiple antibiotics prescribed by doctors (two doctors) didn't cure me. But then, if not an infections, why the antibiotics removed much of the symptoms ? (even if they did not completely cured me)
- Also at first, I didn't found cases like mine. But now, after much search on google, I think I found almost 5 or more identical cases.
- I also can confirm that sometimes in the evening the problem is worse. And also in the days when the problems is worse, driving makes it even worse.
- I also have to add that maybe I should be happy, because in the last 2 or 3 weeks the problem seem to be less severe. I don't know why.

I have the same problem. I can also sleep calmly during the night. In my case the problem is less when im sitting or busy indoors. The problem comes when i have to walk or move from one place to another, i guess because of the anxiety of not having a toilet nearby. This has been like for 8 months. Ive been tested for STDs, Diabetes, and Urinary Infection, being all results negative. Im having in some weeks and Ultrasound.  Sometimes i feel it might be psychological but I dont really think so because I really have to go very badly, no matter how stressed or relaxed i am. Or is it just that im going crazy? I dont think so. What ive had to do is drink few water, and forget about alcohol and coffee, although ive never really been a heavy drinker of neither of those. As result all the time i go to pee the urine comes out very dark, concentrated, very few and with a bad smell. Sometimes i feel symptoms of dehydration because of this, like headaches and feel thirsty, but at least i dont have to be all day in the restroom. But i still have to go to every freaking toilet everywhere. Like every 2 hours. So since ive had this problem ive been avoiding going out with anyone as i dont want to look like an idiot having to go those many times. If there is any craziness i believe thats not the cause of this urinary frequency, but a result of it. another symptom that i have is that sometimes i say myself ok i need to go as the pressure is intense, and after i go i actually feel a major relief, like i can breathe better, even though i was not aware of having any tension before urinating. then i feel very good and happy and imagine that might have been the last time i had to rush to the toilet, just to go through the same 2 hours later.

experiencing the same exact thing- except have severe pain and irritation in penis and groin area- was dignosed with having an enlarged prostate over 1 year ago (only 36) but as of the last few months the prostate is no longer enlarged- no std no sign of infection- nothing helps relieve the pain or pressure- the Dr's insist that it is focalized anxiety- NO WAY is it focalized anxiety I FEEL PAIN AND HAVE SEVERE IRRITATION on the tip of my penis- maybe from constant urine leakage- who the hell knows- I love how the Dr's make you feel like you are crazy just becuase they can not come up with a diagnosis...

[medhelprequested]

hi boyblue, so after your diagnosis, did u receive any treatment, had some medicine prescribed or something? or is it like "yes it looks like your prostate has grown bigger so theres nothing to do"? and its true what u say about the doctor making you feel like going crazy only because they dont know what it is, which is of no help as it actually makes you feel like guilty for being ill. anyway thats what happens to me. what i dont understand is if until this i was completely and absolutely ok in that aspect how did it suddenly turn into this. i mean i would go 1 or 2 times to wee in a day. now i will go like 6 or 7 and thats scarcely taking liquids and having to rush it all the time and just peeing a little. the first thing that comes to my mind when i go out is will i find a bathroom there? i would like to know if there are any practical advices on how to deal with this problem ? ive reached the point of having to carry a bottle in my backpack so when i need to go and theres no near place i use that. i also make sure i visit the restroom every time b4 i leave and when there is one accessible although i dont badly feel the urgency. obviously i try to think about something else whenever i get the pressure but doesnt work. there is pressure. i am 27 y/o and this problem has really affected my life; i was a different person before having this thing, eh tbh this feels like being a disabled. blueboy or anyone else, any advice would be appreciated. thanks

The answer could be non- bacterial prostatitis. try broccolli treatments or researching the non-bacterial type using more home remedies

I am convinced that it is largely psycological. I have the urge to go all the time, and have had it for a couple of years now. When I first got it I was a heavy drinker and put it down to that. But since I have slowed down more and more, it has not changed for the better, in fact it has got worse.. and I came here to seek help.
As far as my theory of it being psycological, I have some reasons why:
1. Sometimes it goes away, even after it being VERY intesnse. Like I just accidently forgot about it.
2. I predict when I am going to be in a spot of pressure,, If I am going to be held away from a toilet, or in the presence of someone that I dont feel comfortable around. ie: when I feel most uncomfortable going -- THATS WHEN I NEED TO GO.
3. Meetings, exams, on dates, first impressions.. and I'm running every 30mins.
I also think that diet has a lot to do with it. Nothing in your stomach may have you jumping around a bit, feeling a bit week maybe.
My advice is to act out the worst possible situations in your head once, and be done with it. You cant let this run your life completely, or by my theory it will only get worse.... Or maybe I think these things because I am chicken to pee into a cup for a doctor... Ha, good luck mate I feel your pain.
Hope this helped

it seems that I found the only medicine that works for me. When I say it works, I mean it improves my condition like 60 or 70 % procent. Even that is better than nothing . The medicine is called Paveriwern and it is a german I think. You can look it up on google, maybe. Let me write the active ingredient also : fuid extract from schlafmohnkraut (translate it with google) . It is a plant.

And my doctor told me that it doesn't have any secondary effect. Because it is only a plant working like a sedative, only localized on the prostate thing. It even has a picture on the box showing the whole urinary tract..or something. It is a little expensive , like 20 Euro, and it only last one week or maybe 2.

I need to take 40 drops at once (it's a liquid) - and 3 times per day. But I discovered that even 2 times per day works. Sometimes it makes you a little sleepy.

- Now I also trying FLOMAX, because everyone saiz on the internet that it is the wonder medicine. But I am taking from 3 days now, without any improvement beside the already ones from Paveriwern.
- I will reply 2 or 3 weeks later here, about the flomax.

Hey guys thanks for posting your comments and experiences. Ihavetohaveanickname?, I really dont think it is psychological because even when i forget about it, i remember later there is something wrong when i see the color of my urine, which looks like TEA. That is i suppose because ive cut the amount of water i drink, and when i drink more again i am constantly going to the loo. For some time i also thought it could be psychological but now i see it really makes no difference in which circumstance i am, but how much water i drank, and whether i am sitting or walking. And in my case it does for example make difference the alcohol and coffee, with which it worsens a lot. So i drink nothing else but water and now and then a soft drink . But so Ihavetohaveanickname?, is it that u havent gone to the doctor for this? You know, it really bothers me to feel like an idiot having to go all time to the bathroom, so try to stay mostly at home. And now i have people all the time saying like errr 'you usually stay at home right ?'  and i go err 'yes i like it here'. Hahaha im a loser. Seriously it has hit me on the emotional. Georgemm, is that medicine that u mentioned available without prescription? Thats because in my case i havent been actually diagnosed nothing. Been under medical investigation for about a year, tested for Urinary infection, diabetes, STDs, and just a week ago had an Ultrasound of kidneys and bladder. All have been negative, including the
