Question 1

Bladder pressure and frequent urination can this be indicative of uti and or diverticulitis?

Accepted Answer

most likely related to a UTI and unlikely to be diverticulitis. See a health care professional for evaluation.

Question 2

Lower left abdominal pain w/frequent urination. went to urgent care, lab&urine came back neg; recommend a sonogram they think diverticulitis;48yo fem ?

Accepted Answer

Diverticulitis is a reasonable possibility, so might be an ovarian issue.  A sonogram is not usually helpful to diagnose diverticulitis though.  A CT can give better info about that and can also evaluate the pelvic organs.  Sometimes a colonoscopy is needed also.

Question 3

On cipro (ciprofloxacin) and flag. for diverticulitis. can these meds  cause problems urinating?

Accepted Answer

While not a common side effect, difficulty urinating is listed as a side effect of Cipro (ciprofloxacin)- see http://www.drugs.com/sfx/cipro-side-effects.html
I feel the risks of serious side effects from Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is so great that it should only be used as a last resort when no other good options exist.

Question 4

I have had a couple of mild bouts of diverticulitis over the years and have noticed that my bladder seems to get irritatated too.  i end-up urinating more.  is this normal?

Accepted Answer

It is possible for the bladder to be irritated by inflammation nearby, e.g. if there is active diverticulitis adjacent to the bladder. This can cause increased urinary frequency and urgency, in the same manner as overactive bladder. If the problem clears when your diverticulitis improves, I wouldn't worry about it. If it persists, discuss with your doctor.

Question 5

When i urinate is it normal to smell like ammonia?  does this come alone with diverticulitis and cramping in my back where my kidneys are?

Accepted Answer

There are some bacteria that can infect the urine that create a higher ph level.  This occurs when urea is turned into ammonia by an enzyme called urease.  
If you have had xrays that do not show stones and urine cultures that are negative, then you may have a high ph.  However, the greater concern is that you may have infection with a urea-splitting bug, which can result in big stones. See md.

Question 6

Causes of frequent urination (don't have diabetes)?

Accepted Answer

A urinary tract infection can often cause frequent urination, pain with urination and the feeling of needing to go right now. Diabetes can also cause this so make sure that you have been properly tested for this and aren't simply assuming that you don't have it.

Prostatic hypertrophy can lead to 'dribbling' and a sense of needing to urinate; especially at night.

Question 7

Had a baby 9 months ago. now frequent urination and i can't hold it?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your infant was very large and some anatomical structure was stretched out.

Question 8

Frequent urination very clear even though i haven't drank any water at all?

Accepted Answer

Urine is made from the liquid u consumed..Can't be from nothing. Remember: tea/coffee/juices/milk/sodas etc..Are mostly water..They just contain colorings and sugars/junks..Also, most of the food u eat contains water..Quite a bit of it actually. So, if you drink lots of the above liquid, u make urine..And they can be clear. If not, u would dry up like a twig fast..
Consult doc if u r concerned...

Question 9

What would cause me to stay hungry all the time, stay nausiated regardless of how much or what i eat or don't eat,  frequent urination?

Accepted Answer

It could be the type of food you're eating... If you eat lots of carbs and sugars, and not enough healthy protein or fats, you won't ever feel full.  But that doesn't explain the frequent urination and nausea.  I'd highly recommend getting checked by your doc - especially getting checked for diabetes.  It doesn't sound like an urgent problem but at least in the next week or two.  Hope this helps.

Question 10

Why do i have these bouts of frequent urination most days i don't. i drink 4-5 cups of water a day and eat pretty much the same things everyday?

Accepted Answer

This is not a bad thing. The kidneys need to hydrate. Now first begin by seeing your doctor to check for a urinary track infection if negative just drink your water and relax. Water is very healthy and necessary for your system
