Hello,
Reasons for the same may be ureter/bladder calculus, cystitis, bladder diverticula, diabetes, spondylosis with paraspinal muscle spasms, and others. Strongly suggest to get evaluation in form of:
• Fasting blood sugar, post prandial blood sugar
• Urine microscopy with 24 hours urinary sampling
• Serum creatinine
• Ultrasound of the abdomen, pelvis, and prostate size
• X-ray of L-S spine
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
