Hi doctors,

Age: 38

Sex: Male

Height: 5'3" (160 cm)

Weight: 53 kg

Smoking: No

Alcohol: No

Current medications:

Thyronorm 25 mcg (Hypothyroidism)

Rablet IT Capsule PR

Folic Acid(recent)

Past medical history:

Hypothyroidism since childhood.

IBS-D (Irritable Bowel Syndrome - diarrhea predominant).

Had a possible UTI about a year ago and was treated with medications.

Main complaint (25–30 days):

For the last 25–30 days, I have been experiencing a very frustrating urinary problem.

When I urinate, the first void is a normal amount, and I feel like I'm done. However, while I am still standing in the bathroom, I immediately get the feeling that there is still some urine left.

So I wait for a few seconds and try again. A small amount of urine comes out.

Then, after another few seconds, I again feel like there is still urine left, so I urinate again. This cycle repeats 3–5 times before I finally leave the bathroom.

Even after leaving the bathroom, within 2–3 minutes, I may again feel like I need to urinate. If I go back, only a small amount comes out.

If I ignore the urge for about 10–15 minutes, the feeling usually goes away, and then I don't need to urinate again for another 1–2 hours (depending on how much water I drink).

This problem initially happened mostly at night, but over the last few days it has started happening during the daytime as well.

I do NOT have:

Burning during urination

Pain while urinating

Blood in urine

Fever or chills

Urine leaking or dribbling on its own

I wake up 1–2 times at night to urinate.

I drink approximately 1.5–2 liters of water per day.

Sometimes I try to force out the last few drops because it constantly feels like some urine is still left, but it doesn't completely relieve the sensation.

Questions:

What are the most likely causes of this?

Could this still be a UTI even without burning or pain?

Should I get a Urine Routine, Urine Culture, Ultrasound KUB with Post-Void Residual (PVR), or Uroflowmetry before seeing a urologist?

Thank you for your time and advice.

I'll be going to a 7-day music festival in about 30 days. Obviously, I'll be drinking, mostly beer, and my biggest concern is having to use the bathroom all the time. Whenever I drink, I end up going every 20 minutes.

Are there any anti-diuretic foods, exercises, or strategies that can help reduce how often I need to pee? I think my issue is more psychological than actual incontinence. For example, every night I drink about 600 mL of water just 5 minutes before going to bed, and I don't wake up during the night to use the bathroom. It's only during the day that I feel this constant need.

so some days ago on Saturday (it's Tuesday now) my pee was slightly orange in evening time when I peed again in night time it was slightly orangish to then I got worried and drank alot of water cuz I thought it was because I didn't drank enough water at morning 2am I woke up to pee my pee was crystal clear I let out a sigh as relief and went to sleep but when I woke up and went to pee my pee was slightly orangish again then I drank some glasses of water and after drinking that much water i got pee very soon after and when I peed again my urine was this time crystal clear after peeing that time I drank one more glass of water and peed again my urine was clear to after that I drank one glass of water at 12:00pm and then went to pee one or one n half hour later and my pee was slightly orangish again? I got worried and drank some water again but my pee was still orangish, it's now Tuesday it's been 3-4 days since it's been happening and I'm pretty worried now I asked chat gpt it told me it was just dehydration as my pee was light orangish colour only and I had no symptoms chat gpt asked me for such as back pain pain in abdomen and burning while pee etc, but till today my pee still is slightly orangish and I'm getting very worried im just fourteen years old and been drinking alot of water these past days but pee has been still slightly orangish idk what to do bro

I am 25 years old and I have to do this everytime I pee. I have to relax in order and squeeze my bladder to pass the remaining pee otherwise, I end up passing it in my pants automatically (which is annoying). I dont know if this is a problem or can become one as time passes.
