Question 3

need to urinate frequently while lying down. i am able to urinate a substantial amount everytime and have no pain. just a need to go every 10 minutes?

Accepted Answer

See answer : Would recommend you do a 3-day voiding diary whereby you measure and record how much (in ounces or mls) and how often you urinate in a 24-hr period. This will help determine your daily output, functional bladder capacity, compare nighttime vs daytime, and help define the nature of your condition. Would recommend you see a urologist with this information to elucidate the cause of your symptoms.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Bladder infection: It sounds like you have a bladder infection, also called a urinary tract infection. See a doctor for urinalysis and treatment. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water

Question 5

what might be the cause of a need to urinate once every two hours?

Accepted Answer

Many causes exist...: But an evaluation may help find the cause. Usually a cause can be identified, and some behavior/diet/fluid modification can help if it bothers you. Many patients void every 2 hours and are not bothered. The most helpful thing is to provide your physician a 2 day bladder diary. Write down when and how much you drink, any alcohol or caffeine, when you void and when you feel sudden urges.

Yes, ASAP: Frequent urination at night is a symptom of bladder and/or prostate dysfnction. Although at your age benign prostate changes could cause this, with your history of bladder cancer, consider seeing your doctor as soon as possible to rule out any recurrence.

Question 9

for 2-3 yrs i have had random excruciating belly button pain. sometimes when i press on the area with my fingers it hurts worse. it feels like im being stabbed. its been worse the last couple mos. happens most often when i need to urinate or i eat.

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: There are many things in the abdomen. A primary care doctor can evaluate to see if it is a liver or gall bladder problem, constipation, another bowel problem, a kidney problem, or some other abdominal issue. The doctor may order some blood and urine tests, and may order an abdominal scan such as an ultrasound scan to look inside the belly. The scan also sees the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.

Question 10

severe urinary urgency and frequency, lasting only a few hours and recurring every few weeks. occasional incontinence and hematuria. urine tests/culture are normal, no pain/burning. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Need to see urolo: Gist. Your symptoms are in many ways consistent with overactive bladder syndrome. It's possible that you always have microscopic hematuria. At any rate, you do need a full urological evaluation to determine the exact diagnosis.
