Frequent Urination

[haidcat]

Who here urinates frequently during POIS? I am talking about more than 7 times per day, or where you pee out the water you just drank 15 mins ago?

[poisioq]

i just urinate as ever during pois

[rock27]

increased thirst, increased urination and peeing 15 minutes after drinking are common pois symptoms to me.
I know it is not a common symptom, but I know others have it too.
Risking credibility: in my worst days, I am talking about 7 liters a day. Try an antihistamine before ejaculation.

[haidcat]

Do antihistamines reduce your symptoms? I thought they didn't? Which one do you take?

[Vandemolen]

It could be an UTI. Let your urine get checked.
The other thing is I drink a lot when in POIS. That's because I dried out, my mouth, nose, skin. And I get thirsty. So if you drink a lot you have to pee...

[LAPOISSE]

I pee somedays about 20 times a day...Don't know if it has something to do with POIS

[rock27]

yeah they do reduce about 20-30%. Brand didn't really matter, tried a few: ceterizine is quite good. Its non-description.
Huge difference; I had consistent results for over a year or so.  Now pursuing desenz.
I had my urine checked but no infection. I am not surprised about 20 times (in pois that is).

Yea, frequent urination is very common for me in the days following ejaculation. I notice that I carry more water weight when my POIS is more active because of inflammation. For me personally, exercise is key in helping to remedy that symptom. Yet, I do not take any antihistamines because Ive been on Depakote ER for years because my inflammatory symptoms present themselves similarly to many as other neurological, psychological, and infectious diseases hence being misdiagnosed in many times over. Regardless, I found the drug did help with inflammation, mood and migraine like symptoms in spite of it being used under false pretenses. Although I would not recommend you delve into a broadband anti-seizure/psychotropic like Depakote because of the possible side-effects and dependence. Try those antihistamines combined w/ good exercise and see whats effective for you.       

[Vandemolen]

If they don't find a virus or bacteria in the urine, it doesn't mean that there is no infection.

[chen1995]

I do have that

[post-toast]

yes, more frequent for me.

[icefloe]

Yes

[FloppyBanana]

Yes, and it's almost always clear (not yellow).

[Chris]

Yes, and it's almost always clear (not yellow).

Same thing happens here.Though i have been diagnosed with urinary problems and POIS has no relation with  it.
I also cannot empty very well.I have some residuals in the urinary tract after pee that leaves the urethra later as urine leaks.

[demografx]

Overactive bladder here. I rarely take Ditropan (Oxybutinin) because its a Catch-22: these type of drugs (all very similar) cause dry mouth...which make you urinate more frequently!

[Warrior]

I experience this for at least 3 days following release, I think it’s more like 7 days. Frequent urination. Someone on reddit mentioned this a few weeks back & I didn’t believe something like this would be connected to POIS. However I have noticed I do not experience it when I begin to abstain past 3-7 days.

[Rollo]

For me its not just increase in Volume but also a very nervous bladder while in POIS.

[ToTheVoid]

I also have something like "nervous bladder". And i urinate frequently when i am in a POIS attack.

[certainlypois2]

I have this, this is a symptom that came much later, i did not have it in the begining.

[Warrior]

I have this, this is a symptom that came much later, i did not have it in the begining.

I anecdotally feel this has been true for me as well, but who knows.
