What Causes Frequent Urge To Urinate While Having Internal Hemorrhoids?
I have internal hemorrhoids as well as a strong urgency to urinate all the time. I was tested for a uti but that was negative. Was given an antibiotic anyway and the urgency is still there after I finished it. Could there be a correlation with the hemorrhoids and the urgency to urinate?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query. Haemorrhoids can give urinary symptoms. This is due to irritation of nerve endings usually. Constipation associated with haemorrhoids can irritate prostate and give urge to urination or retention also. Treating haemorrhoids and avoiding constipation will be helpful to relieve this condition. In case of any infection associated with haemorrhoids also gives such symptoms and in that case antibiotics helps. Take more plain water , include food containing high in fibers , take stool softeners like sorbitol or lactulose in case of constipation etc will be helpful also. Even after all these the condition persist then better to get examined by an urologist to rule out any other problems.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
