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?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.

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.

Regards,

I find this answer helpful
