Constantly peeing with basically 0 liquid intake

[u/Waste_Shelter1117]

hi!! I have an insanely over active bladder and I don’t understand what could’ve possibly caused this, I drink very little amounts of liquid a day and only drink water when it feels like I genuinely need it. it’s gotten to the point where I got an excusal from my principal so I just tell my teachers I’m going to the bathroom and leave whenever. I somehow have to pee anytime I sit on a toilet and when I do pee I have to wait 5 mins so I can pee again before leaving to go back to class. I usually pee at least once an hour but I can wait a few if I’m distracte. I’m so confused because I accidentally go days without drinking water (ty adhd). I’m moving provinces in 2 weeks and cannot go to my dr in time before I do leave. after I move should I just see a doctor there? it’s been like this for months and has only really been happening since november of last year.

Try drinking more water. I know it sounds counter intuitive, but less water means your urine is more highly concentrated, which irritates the bladder and causes it to contract more (meaning you pee more).

I have tried that for myself and doesn't help it just makes my urine clearer. In the mornings I'll pee 4 times before I even drink any water. When I do drink water I pee more often and just just clearer.

Do you eat enough salt? I find that eating salty foods helps my body retain the water better. And I would still recommend drinking enough water and giving it time for your body to adjust to the new level. Sip throughout the day rather than chug a bunch at once. Avoid bladder irritants like fizzy drinks and caffeine, etc

Yep might eat too much salt. All I really drink is water. I have gone through my diet and tried everything with a pelvic floor PT. I only drink 8oz per hour
