I have bad anxiety and feel need to pass urine literally every few minutes - only tiny amounts

can anxiety cause this?

Hello

I was suffering with this last year for a while was dreadful , was all night as well nearly drove me mad

The Doctor said it was to do with hormones for me not sure if it was though but I started drinking more water and it went eventually

I would though get a urine test done to make sure you don't have an infection as this can give you that sensation to as well as anxiety will make it worse

Hope you get it sorted :-)

Take Care x

Agreed on urine test to rule out UTI or STIs. I wouldn't worry unless it goes on longer than a week. If it does, get blood work done perhaps to rule out diabetes or other things.

Hello Hidden

I am fine now I said in my reply to foxglove that I was suffering last year with something similar but not now

I think maybe you misunderstood from your reply to me which is great advise if I was suffering :-) x

Thanks intend to do this as well as urine check. If dipstick (which is not really very accurate ) shows up anything untoward sample will be sent to lab
