What Causes Frequent Urge To Urinate And Abdominal Discomfort?
40 year old male. For last three days I have felt I have had to pee more often than usual. Frequent feeling of having a full bladder even though I went only 2 hours ago. When I do pee, nice strong stream and no pain. Bladder feels better temporalily after. Sometimes a pulling sensation on one or both sides of abdomen. Visited GP today who suggested a temporary overactive bladder but ordered diabetes and PSA tests tomorrow to be safe. No history of prostate problems in family. Slightly overweight but not obese. Maternal grandfather developed type 2 diabetes in his late 60s .What is the likely outcome here? Symptoms disappear on their own?
Frequent urination is not unusual in winter season where our insensible loss reduces drastically.
I do not think there is nothing like a overactive bladder in your case but it would be better to rule out diabetes by doing blood sugar and urine sugar for a safer side.
For abdominal discomfort,you can take antacids like pantoprazole and rabeprazole for symptomatic relief and avoid oily-spicy foods rather take bland diet.
However,there may be chances of diabetes since you grandfather had it but must be confirmed by above tests.
This conditions usually self-limiting and symptoms may disappear by their own,so there is no need to worry much.
You should see local physician for complete medical history and relevant test.
