default
Posted on Wed, 23 Sep 2015
Question: basically I have a very mild need to urinate most of the time, I forget about it it's that mild when I go it goes away, chances it's prostrate? I've been drinking cranberry juice and it seemed to improve but after sex the next day it came back. It's never painful as such just an need to urinate.

Brief Answer:
urinalysis test

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Prostate problems usually occur in elderly and could not be suspected wit your mentioned symptoms in your age group. However, I would suggest to rule out any urinary tract infection, which can be done by a simple urinalysis test.

Tank you!

I've ordered a test kit should be here today, my doctor didn't test me for some reason which makes me a little nervous that he doesn't know what he's doing. My symptoms seem worse today or at least when I woke up, the feel to urinate was stronger but I didn't need to go very much. Would you suggest that is more likely uti than anything else, or can prostrate symptoms increase over night?

Bit more history on me, I have IBS and have been taking codeine in small doses now and then. The last time I took it was a week ago now since these symptoms started. Previously I've had some hesitation and once or twice kind of like flutters in my urine flow which I assumed was the codiene they didn't happen when I wasn't taking it. My worried mind is telling me I missed the early signs of something now and it's really impacting me. I have test results from bloods Tuesday but anything you can do to put my mind at ease would really help

Okay.
So, you now need further testing with ultrasound to exclude kidney stones if symptoms persists. Meantime, drinking good amount of water would help.
