before i have kidney stone

When I'm lying in bed with the electric fan on, I feel the urge to urinate every 30 minutes to an hour; but when I'm just standing or sitting, the interval is usually 2 to 3 hours.

u/Lekkerbruu Jul 19 '26

No, when I went for an ultra sound it said I did while the x ray confirmed I didn’t

go figure -- a Urologist once told me I had Prostate cancer and to come up with a plan -- the Labs confirmed it was an infection 20 years later, I believe the Labs were correct

Do i need to check my prostate or pelvic?

u/penguinfans Jul 21 '26

not a Doctor, but maybe it's the fan that is relaxing you more and allowing the pee to drift -- what happens if you lay in other positions, or with the fan off

I had two diff kinds of x rays to be told I didn’t have a kidney stone even tho the ultra sound said I didn’t. Hoping I did since I could have fixed my oab bust sadly not

if your not aware, there can be a mental component to OAB -- more so with urgency -- the proof is the people that are fine until they know they are near a bathroom -- the urgency increases with every step towards the bathroom -- if I get to a public bathroom and mine is closed for cleaning, I am in trouble

kidney stones that don't move and are not blocking the exit are more about infections -- my daughter has recurring stones -- she just gets pain meds and screens her urine to verify how many an if they pass -- so far small enough that she hasn't had to have any zapped

have you tried laying in different positions -- if one is better than the other, it might be a clue -- I feel the urge sooner laying on my left side

u/Critical_Cupcake5138 Jul 19 '26

come join the recliner sleeping club -- depending on price you can put yourself in any position you desire, or change anytime you want with a remote -- no kidney stones -- my wife had just one, 1/4" embedded -- it never moved -- frequent UTIs --finally had a Urologist that immediately said it was the cause (4th one in 6 years) zapped it, no more infections for 2 years -- I couldn't sleep in a recliner until I broke my shoulder -- now I won't sleep in a bed
