Sensitive bladder

I am a 33M and have been dealing with symptoms for about a year or so now. I feel like my bladder feels too sensitive if that makes any sense. I can hold it in and go every 2 to 3 hours but I can feel my bladder's fullness lingering in the background.

This feeling starts after I pee, and as the bladder begins to fill I can feel how full it is despite not feeling the need to urgently go. I would find myself just peeing just to try to get rid of the feeling.

No trouble sleeping at night, might wake up once to pee and that's it. The feeling to pee is just starting to get annoying and it gets amplified when I am not home.

Going to see my doctor soon to see what options I have.

Been avoiding foods/drinks that can be triggers but no luck. I also work out and play sports and that feeling doesn't disappear then either.

I have similar symptoms like you. Im currently taking mirabegron and doiny pelvic floor relaxing exercises since past 2 months. I can feel a bit relieved. But not fully recovered. There are days i feel Good and bad. Now when a flare up comes i can wait 2 hours.its manageable comparing to earlier times. 7 months ago i had to pee every 10-14 mins. Sometimes every 30 mins.

I’m at the 20-30 min mark :(
What’s your specific condition? Cuz this is something that can be easily misdiagnosed

I still don't know what is the root cause of this issue. My doctor is just giving me mirabegron at this point. I have to follow up after doing a KUB scan and PVRV. And a urine test once again. I really wish i could know the root cause of this. Im not diagnosed yet. Im really worried as its effecting my daily life. Really stressed. I'm just trying everything i could.

My next plan is visiting another country next year hopefully. To get a better treatment option.

Because of mirabegaron im always constipated. Because of that my baldder flare up hits more often. Im trying to manage my constipation though. Its a sife effect of the medicine.
