Brief Answer:
increased urination

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

You have noticed and increase in the amount and frequency of urination. This could be the first signs of diabetes. I would recommend having your blood sugar tested. If your blood sugar is > 126 after a nights fast or your blood sugar is > 160 2 hours after a meal then you have diabetes.

If you are drinking more eater and eating more fruits that could just give you more free water and making you urinate frequently. This would be completely normal

If you recently had any head trauma or concussion this can cause your kidneys to over react and urinate abnormally.

This does not sound like a urinaray tract infection but it would be something I would check with a urine analysis. This can be done at any doctor's office

I recommend that you be seen at your doctor's office so they can check your urine and blood

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions

Brief Answer:
STD signs and symptoms

Detailed Answer:
This does not sound like an STD. STD would have urine burning, penile discharge or a blister formation. Urine frequency is not seen with an STD

Brief Answer:
STD?

Detailed Answer:
If you had blisters breaking out then there would be definate evidence of herpes infection. Since you don't see any there is low chance for herpes. But the best way to check is have your medical provider swab the end of you penis for a viral culture. That would be the best way to know if this was Herpes. Any other STD would give you burning inside the penis or discharge from the penis

Herpes testing

Brief Answer:
Peeing

Detailed Answer:
The extra peeing may not be from an STD. You could still have just a UTI. Frequency on urination is usually seen with UTI and not with Herpes. SO it is real important to e rechecked
