Frequent urination
by Zinni, Jun 01, 2008 04:18PM
Hi,
I am 25yr old female, I noticed an increase in the frequency of urinating. Sometimes the urine amount looks normal but most of the time its dribbling. I frequent twice in half an hour when it dribbles.
There is no blood in the urine. Most of the time it is accompanied by pain and the sensation is there even after urinating. I did not have this problem ever, I drink 8 glasses of water every day. It started about 3 months ago, then stopped for a good 2 months and now I notice the problem again.
Pls suggest

To: Frequent Urination
You may have an undiagnosed condition called Chronic Interstitial Cystitis, or "IC". You may want to go to a urologist who can have you tested. I have this condition. It started when I was about 5 and I was able to communicate the problem to my mom. I was probably born with it. I kept going to doctors telling me I had a UTI. But I never had a burning sensation upon voiding, just a strong urge to void and pain all the time. I never had any bacteria in my urine, either. That's because IC has something to do with having a defective bladder lining that doesn't offer it protection from the irritants in the urine. Also, I have classic " Hunner's Ulcers" in my bladder which helped diagnose my condition as well. Good luck. I hope it is only a UTI.
