Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
It is important to know if you had any recent history of unprotected sexual intercourse or not. These symptoms are compatible however with a sexually transmitted infection ans well as a purely urinary tract infection. Ding a urine exam and culture should be done to exclude an infection. A quick urine analysis to check or leucocytes and nitrites could indicate a urinary tract infection if present and immediate placement on antibiotics. Drinking lots of fluids could helpful.
A change in climate and drinking happy could explain too much peeing. I suggest you also do a fasting blood sugar to exclude diabetes.
Thanks and kind regards as I wish you the best of health.
