Frequent Urination

I saw a question about frequent urination and stress.  I wanted to add this comment.  

I was having severe frequent urination problems.  I went to several doctors and even the Mayo Clinic.  I was eventually diagnosed with "chronic prostatitis."  Not wanting to give up because of the problems it was causing me, I looked at stress as the possible cause.  I went to a psychologist for biofeedback training -- relaxation training -- and after 3 or 4 weeks my symptoms subsided.  I occasonally get a recurrence, but if I revert to my relaxation techniques, it always subsides.

So while I believe that it is a physiological problem, I believe that many issues can be induced by stress and the biological changes it causes in the body.  

If you are very stressed (freaking out) because of the possibility of having an STD, and you are looking for possible symptoms, I believe that amount of stress can actually bring on the frequent urination problems.
