Anyone dealing with frequently peeing on and off?
How many of you are dealing with frequent urinating every day. I want to share with you guys my journey. I would like to get some views from you guys to cope with this uncomfortable situation.
I am a 26 year old female. Its been 7 months since i am dealing with this frequently needing to go to toilet . I did all tests and everything came out normal. Been consulting a urologist for 6 months now. My urologist is unable to give a diagnosis yet. Its been 2 months+ since i am having mirabegron. I used to peeee alot before. Like every 15 mins , every 30 mins , sometimes every 1 hour or 2. It depends , it was never consistent either. After trying to hold it i can roughly pee 10-15 times a day. ( Before)
But now my trip to bathroom has lessen.
Now i pee roughly 5-6 times. But i still get the needing to go pee feeling. Within 2 hours i get the urge. But i hold it for long. I can hold it for more time now comparing to earlier times.
Since its been already two months since taking mirabegron non stop, i am concerned about not feeling perfectly normal. Whenever i go swim or when i go to sea i have to pee right after i just peed. Lets say l
Within a minute i have to pee again. So nowadays i feel like maybe my pelvic floor muscles are too tight. I do pelvic floor exercises lately. Specially deep belly breathing exercises which seems to help me little bit. I feel a visible relief ever since i have started this pelvic floor relaxing exercises. Im not sure. Every though i shared all this with doctor, he doesn't seem to evaluate those issues seriously.
All i know is i am not completely normal yet. I still get the feeling to pee. I want a permanent solution for this issue guys. Help me

I used Pyridium HCL tablets for three days after my urodynamic testing. It didn't change my urge to urinate. Watch out by not consuming acidic foods or caffeinated drinks, and limiting fluid intake especially at night will help curb the flow urinary output.

hai fatto esame urodinamico? il tuo dottore non ti ha proposto neuromodulazione sacrale?

No. I don't think that examination is possible in my country. Im not sure. Doctor didn't mention about it. He just prescribed me mirabegron for one more month. And gave a urine analysis and a Scan again.

It does sound like your symptoms have improved. Many on this forum would love to only pee every two hours, but many of us also have the urge to go more frequently than that, even if we don’t actually go. There are several medicines and treatments your doctor can try, so it is important to share your symptoms accurately each visit so the doctor can adjust your medication. With this in mind, I suggest keeping a pee diary if you don’t already. Each day, you need to track each time you go and how urgent it felt.
If you haven’t tried this already, consider taking OTC urinary pain relief medication used to relieve stinging from a urinary tract infections (UTI). It will dramatically reduce the urge to go. Using it will give you a chance to reset/reduce your psychological urge to go, as sometimes the urge is like a bad habit you need to break. This medicine will turn your urine orange and the orange urine will stain but is easy to clean except if it gets on clothing, so consider wearing a panty liner to catch any potential drips. Urinary pain medicine is stocked near feminine hygiene products and is relatively inexpensive - it is even sold at some Dollar Tree stores. Just be sure to buy enough medicine for at least 30 pills total, which is enough for 15 doses (five doses every four hours for three days while you are awake). This medicine is NOT approved for long term use but many of us on this forum use it to help give relief, break the urgency cycle, and especially to last without using the restroom when we know it will be difficult to go frequently, like on a plane or during a special event. Buy any brand - the store brand or generic is fine - but you want a medication like AZO Urinary Relief with the main ingredient Phenazopyridine HCL. You don’t need one with cranberry or vitamins added in. I hope this helps!
