A member asked:

Can pain medication make you urinate more often?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not that I know: If you use opioids, it usually causes urinary retention-difficulty voiding. One relevent question is if you are voiding a higher volume or urine overall; or just small amounts more frequently, implying inability to fully empty bladder. Your answer may be more complex depending on setting.
