Why Do I Have Sudden Loss Of Weight And Frequent Urination?
Hi, I am a 19 year old female turning 20 soon just recently lost weight dropped from 280 to 157 and I m 5 2 I was just wondering why I have the need to urinate every 10 to 15 minutes it just started today. I thought it was because of my water intake but I have always drunk lots of water and never had to use the bathroom that much. I also have a pain that is on my right side of my body right in the area below my belly button right before you get to my genitalia. Do I need to see my doctor for a UTI or anything relating to it?

HELLO THANX FOR USING HCM,
Your weight will not drop down if its a urinary tract infection.you will have symptoms like fever , burning urination , low abdominal pain and frequent urge for urination.
It will be better to check your blood sugars once you can do RBS random blood sugars. if it is high means you are diabetic. weight loss, excessive urination. excessive thirst are common in diabetes.
