Hi everyone.

So, I'm 26 years old, male, and i have had but one partner. I work out a lot and take protein(maybe too much).

My situation started a week ago on Sunday. I urinated before leaving work and half an hour later when i got to bus stop i felt the need to do it again.

Before this i never paid attention to how much I'm urinating mind you. I think this part is important.

Anyhow, i went to gym on sunday and really worked out my abs hard(after ignoring them for a while). They really hurt and next day, monday, my whole stomach was sore.

I started to pee a little bit too often on monday and startes to look up symptoms. I thought i mat have a UTI and started drinking maybe up to 1.5-2gallons a dayz taking d manose, uva ursi.

Needless to say i was urinating every 10-15min.

So i did that for 3-4days and tested for uti 4times with strips all negative.

I started keeping a journal of how much i urinate and on average for 24hrs i urinate anywhere between:

10-13times for 24hours.

Mind you, most of the time I am holding it( if it is an overactive bladder, im trying to train it).

For the first hour i feel the need to but its not an urge, so i can make it to 2hrs with slight discomfort. Sometimes i make it to 3 hrs and rarely beyond that.

I have.no insurance, so i cant go to a doctor right now( not much money either).

Conditions has been going on for 10days.

My options:

1.take antibiotics, i rather not, i have 2packs of amoxicilin.

2. Take otc medicine that stops frequent urination (azol?) And maybe with time and with less frequent urination my mind gets relaxed and it goes away.

3. Related to 2, if it's due to a muscle strain , option 2 would be best.

4. Last option go to my country where i have free insurance and get it all checked out.

I have a slight tickling sensation ay the tip of penis more often that bladder being full.

I empty the bladder 2-3times when i go in restroom.

Full stream after 2hours of holding it.

Anywhere from 250-400ml. The longer i hold the more urine

    I stopped taking protein and eating food less in protein. I was really eating a lot of food high in protein, so first i thought it was this.

    The azol is suppose to be taken 2tablets 3 timea a day. I was thinking to take 2tablets a day to use it for a couple of weeks and then see after a month if things are better.

    I noticed that sometimes my brain makes up things to be much larger and more serious than they are. Ive been reading that this can also be caused by stress so thats another thing that might be contributing.

      Of course a lot of times.im urinating maybe only 150-200ml. If i dont wait 2hrs or more.

      I feel more pressure in penis than bladder.

      At some point i noticed a little sore in the opening of pennis, but that went away the next day and it was caused from me drying up the tip with paper towel because i had a tiny bit of paper attached to it.

      Also, on sunday i did have vigorous intercourse. But since then i stopped for a whole week thinking i may have uti.

      One thing more: whenever i feel yhe need to pee at the tip of penis if i start to masturbate it goes away for a couple of minutes.

    Hi, firstly stress or anxiety are definite causes of this. By paying more and more attention to how often you urinate, you could be sending yourself into a spiral of being over sensitive in the bladder. 

    Does it wake you up at night? 

    Also, it could be worth getting an STI screening.

      Hi ryan.

      When i drank lots of water and took uva ursi and dmanose, yes i woke up 2-3times during night time.

      Now i dont wake up, if i do its only once.

      But the last 2-3nights from my journal i can see i didnt wake up until next morning.

      Last night i went to sleep at 1.40 and woke up at 8.40 and just then urinated.

      Do you think sti could be an issue? I use the condom with my wife(no babies needed at the moment), and we have been together for 5 years. No other partners in each other lifes.

      I must mention though at some point in my life i had hepatitis c( only discovered this when donating blood). However, the doc said i do not have the virus in my blood i.e. my body got rid of it. They did the sensitive test that looks for it in blood. I have the antibodies but not virus
