Slight Problem

[Terminal23]

To be blunt.I have to urinate constantly lately.I had this problem a few months ago and it subsided.I mean like clock work every 1 to 1 1/2 hours I have to go.I get up at least three times a night and can't enjoy going anywhere because I have to make sure there will be a bathroom nearby.I'm not positive.But,I started taking vitamins about 2 weeks ago on a regular schedule and thats when this started.Is it possible that vitamins could cause this?I know I don't have diabetes because I had bloodwork done for some health insurance and that was one thing they checked among other things.I've gone to a doctor before and they did blood test for prostate problems and again nothing showed.I can't figure out what the problem could be.Hopefully,this will go away like before.In the meantime I guess I'll just have to cross my legs.

Are you taking regular doses or "mega" doses?

Do you have any pain or "burning" on passing urine, Terminal? If so, could be a minor urinary infection. Sometimes taking "extra" vitamins can upset the balance of things. Your urine is supposed to be slightly acidic to help keep infections at bay. Some things you may take may alter this balance, and the bladder lining can become inflamed and cause you to urinate more frequently.

Also, just because you had one single test for diabetes that was negative doesn't mean you can't have it. Worth further checking.

My first suggestion would be to stop taking the vitamins, and see if it resolves. If it does, then get better advice on what vitamins and what dosage to take from a professional.

Sounds very uncomfortable and annoying.

No pain at all...and I'm just taking the regular dose.One a Day .....
I've never had a prostate exam.I guess I might have to break down and do it.The magic age is 40 right?....

Mickwish is right(listen to him).
Also, You should get yourself checked SPECIFICALLY for diabetes. I urge you to talk to your doctor about this and Explain to your doctor exactly what is going on with you when you go.
