Okay this is a long story so will try keep as precise and brief as possible, this whole thing started about 2 years ago , i started noticing that i am going to the toilet far too often , after a week or two i decided to go to the doctors, the doctor immediately prescribed a antibiotic for a bladder infection , i completed the dose for the month however it didnt have any effect i still urinated a lot.

so went to the doctor again they arrived at the conclusion that I have prostatitis, after the test, at the time i was 20 years of age, during this period i did feel a mild pain occasionally occuring in the prostate region and also somewhat back pain, so they prescribed antibiotic for that i did complete the dose however it didnt have much impact, so i was prescribed again with a different antibiotic, during this time i did notice shrinkage of my penis size. this batch didnt work either so i was prescribed again with another batch , but this new antibiotic gave me bit of a burn during urination.

another different batch was prescribed but this time i didnt complete this batch and stopped half way, as it had no effect. By this time i started noticing mass gain on my lower back and my buttocks.and also erectile problems( i had to urinate during erections) Went to see the doctors again, they did a prostate check and found no indication of prostatisis. so all this time i didnt actually have prostatisis but did have mild pain and lower back pain which probably suggested to the doctors that i did have it. any how the doctor decided to go with a different treatment and suggested that i have overactive bladder, so recommended the urologist.

after a visit to urologist they found no infection in the bladder just so they suggested that i have overactive bladder, the doctor prescribed the drug for overactive bladder , which i took for a week then stopped as it wasn't having any effect. I went on 4-5 months without the drug, during this point i also started noticing that i was getting bit of dizziness. so i went to see the doctors this time he suggested me to the endocrinologist, who took a record of my day to day urinating frequency and my water intake and came to the conclusion that i don't have insidious diabetes and it is a overactive bladder. so i decided to give the overactive bladder medicine a go. I took the dosage it did have an effect on the bladder as i did feel the urge to go ,but as there was less muscle contraction in the bladder so i felt the urge to go but the urination flow was weak and it felt like the bladder was blocking me from urinating . so in turn it did have an effect . however had to change the drug as it gave me side effect of a dry mouth, so switched to a new one now i'm taking vesicare once a day, now this one is not having as much of and effect as the previous one. And i sometimes i feel i have developed something else.

I urinate atleast 15 times a day or more i on average drink around 3-4 litres of water and also go to the gym. , the frequency is very high and i also crunch down when i sleep, last night i even woke up because of i had to urinate , i wen to sleep at 12;35 and woke around 4;10!

on previous occasions i did have to wake up at night to urinate but the sleeping period was longer 5-6 hours but however over the duration of the 2 years theres has been times where having been woking up from sleep due to urge to urinate in 3-4 sleeping periods . sometimes i have noticed burns as well but it wasn't consistent .

there is also the fact that i have to urinate during the erections and it makes the erections not complete, so before ejaculation i would have to urinate at least 5-6 times while erect.i would probaly achieve complete erection if there wasnt this urge to urinate or if i'm dehydrated . there is also this shrinkage of my stem of the penis flacid or erect. During the 2 year period i have had many test done which were all negative, so this includes diabetes, urine test, blood test, t3/t4, STD test. everything was all negative and i dont have diabetes, stds or any blood problem.

This has been going on since 2011 march till now in 2013, so please help! I'm male of indian-bangaldeshi descent and 22 years old. I am now as i said on vesicare taking once a day.

    For women!!! I had bladder pain for almost 20 years. Because of former bladder and kidney problems (as a child), I was told my bladder pain was due to everything from surgical adhesions to IC. Sex was terribly painful and I suffered for years -- even while going to every specialist available. I kept telling doctors that the only time I was pain-free was during pregnancy, so they chalked that up to hormonal changes -- again still saying that was associated with everything but the real reason. The real reason turned out to be that I have an extreme allergy to Nonoxynol-9. Even the smallest amount on condoms or the gels, or whatever it is on. Exposure once would put me in pain for days and days. Please ladies, if you are having bladder pain, please check if you are being exposed to Nonoxynol-9!

    I have exactly the same problem as yours since 3 months. Initial 2 months I didn't care much but in the 3rd month I was diagnosed with severe UTI. Initially, I took some antibiotics after consulting doctor but problem persists. E coli bacteria was found in my urine. Doctors are advising me for cystoscopy test. I don't know whats wrong with me.

    Are you still facing same problem or it mitigated? Please tell me what kind of medications you had taken?

    Hi rahul. Have you seen a urologist? Go an see a urologist and have flourourodynamic studies done so they can look at you weeing whilst measuring your flow etc and then hopefully they can give right medications. You might even have a tight bladder neck or bladder neck stenosis which is giving you your symptoms but is important you see a urologist

    Hi, I had the problems "burning sensation after urinating" and "frequent urination during the night" for about a year. Now both problems are gone. I was cured just by replacing white bread and refined rice with whole wheat bread and brown rice in my diet. After about 3 days of this diet my burning sensation was reduced. After 1 month I had no more burning sensation.
