What Causes Frequent Urination In A Type 2 Diabetic Patient?
Question: I am 54 type 2 diabetic I pee like every 30 minute if I drink water I often pee myself due to urgencies when it is time to pee no waiting .I am at a loss how can I have a normal day with out pissing all over myself
Brief Answer:
Irritable bladder, diabetes
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome
I appreciate your concern
Based on your description, I would advise the following.
BPH ie benign prostatic hyperplasia should be screened for on an ultrasound. UTI and urinary tract stones should be looked for as the possible cause. Overactive bladder should be treated with anticholinergic meds like solifenacin.
Tight glycemic control would be required to avoid excess glucose and protein loss in urine. Nephropathy would also be halted from progressing in this way.
wishing you best of health
Please consult your doctor before taking any further course of action
Thanks
