Does anyone else have this issue? Sometime Iāll need to urinate 3-4 times within an hour, urgently, with a full bladder and normal stream each time. It is a true feeling of urgency/full bladder as opposed to not voiding completely and needing to finish the job again.
I donāt have much hesitation before starting, and I donāt drip for ages after urinating.
Things that aggravate it are alcohol and caffeine. I canāt really drink alcohol anymore because Iāll need to go 4 times within an hour after one or two drinks and itās just too embarrassing/inconvenient. I donāt like clubbing or going to bars anymore partially because of this annoying problem.
I also have to say, on some days (particularly if I donāt have any caffeine or drink much water) Iām completely normal, so itās just baffling that this comes on randomly for no reason. The one positive thing is that I donāt wake during the night to urinate, I may wake up a little earlier than usual but not actually during the night.
Itās also like my bladder capacity has reduced and I NEED to get to a toilet quickly as soon as I get this feeling. My doctor just brushes it off whenever I raise it, Iāve done some urine tests and he says Iām fine (and that it could be āanxietyā, which is rubbish).
