Posted on Thu, 14 May 2015
Question: I am having some issues with my kidneys. I have been on a lawn mower quite a bit for the last two days on some really bumpy ground. I feel like I need to urinate about every hour, but only do a little bit.

Brief Answer:
urinary tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are concerned about having difficulty urinating after working on a riding lawn mower. This could be a sign of dehydration or a bladder infection. If you are having pain or burning on urination then you have an infection and will need antibiotics. If there is no pain then you maybe dehydrated from being on the riding lawnmower too long today. I recommend here that you drink extra fluids tonight and see if that helps you urinate better.

In summary
1. possible UTI if urine burns
2. Need antibiotics if infected
3. If not burning then possible dehydration and overly concentrated urine
4. Drink extra fluid tonight
5. If still having difficulty urinating in the morning then seek medical attention

I hope I answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your health care concerns and questions.
