Both are treatable and most likely.  You need to see your doctor, who may also need to perform a prostate exam and order tests as well.

Question 5

why do i always have the urge to urinate?

Accepted Answer

Irritation: Urgency occurs often because the bladder is irritated or inflammed.  This is often because of infections but can also be caused by certain foods/supplements (acidic, spicy, artificial sweetners).  In addition, certain medical problems such as poorly controlled diabetes can cause you to void often as well as medications (diuretics).  See your doctor to get this evaluated

Question 6

how to solve the urge to urinate but cannot?

Accepted Answer

Urgency: Urgency, the feeling of needing to urinate, is usually the result of a full bladder.  But in cases of an overactive bladder, or bladder irritation, the sensation of needing to urinate may not signal a full bladder.  An irritated bladder may signal the need to urinate when, in fact the bladder is actually empty.  A visit with a urologist is recommended for an evaluation.

Question 7

low creatinine on a urine test, what caused that?

Accepted Answer

Several things: The most likely is inadequate collection of urine such that some of the 24 hour sample was discarded. Other causes are low muscle mass, which can occur in very small stature people, advanced age, bed bound individuals, and in patients with cirrhosis.

Question 8

is a low level of bilirubin in urine normal or not?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Low level of bilirubin in blood or urine is not a cause for concern.

Question 9

do certain drinks give you a sudden urge to urinate?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol/Caffeine: Chemicals that cause urination are referred to as diuretics.  Many commonly encountered substances increase the need to urinate, most notably alcoholic beverages and those containing caffeine.  Of course, simply drinking a lot of any liquid should result in an increased need to urinate assuming the person has normal kidney function.

Question 10

what condition could lead to having no urge to urinate?

Accepted Answer

Diabetes is just one: Impaired bladder sensation is usually due to problems with how the nervous system handles signals from the the bladder. Nerve injury due to surgery, spinal injury, spina bifida, tumors, and diabetes can result in this impairment.
