See below: Does he drink much caffeine (coffee/tea/colas /soda pop)? It acts like water pill (diuretic); so it can increase need to pee as well as cause potassium loss. 33 y/o is young for prostate problems, but possible. Is there family history of enlarged prostate or cancer at early age? May need test for chlamydia. Should also be tested for diabetes.

Look for triggers: This could be bladder spasm in response to (over)taking tomato, citrus, alcohol, peppermint, caffeine, tobacco, chocolate, spicy food, carbonated beverages, or splenda. Remove any of these and then watch. No pus, blood, nor bacteria in the urine means no infection. He could have overactive bladder. If diet restriction doesn't work and he still has frequency/urgency, then try Detrol (tolterodine) la 4mg daily.
