Patient discussion about increased urination frequency.
Q. I pee when I laugh, what to do? Whenever I laugh really hard, I can't help peeing. Help! What to do? This is embarrassing.
A. Glad to read the answers to this question since I to have the same problem, and it is embarrassing. Thanks.
Q. Waking up to the bathroom I'm a 66 years old man and usually healthy, but in the last few months I find myself waking up several times during the night to urinate. It also takes the stream longer than usuall to end. I don't have pain during urinating, and other than that everything is more or less OK.
Can that be related to the prostate? I heard that in adult men the prostate grows and obstruct the urine. Does that mean I have cancer in the prostate?
Thank you!
A. I uritane every hour on the hour. I feel the problem is my consumption of coffee is causing dehydration. Nevertheless, I should not have such frequency. I am 53 and get up at least 3 times every night. Sure, I can see my Urologist and he will tell me it is my prostate slight enlargement, and prescribe that drug one takes to have a full session, or, a more evasive treatment where he inserts this rod into my pennis to clear away obstruction? I don't know, perhaps there is something I can start, you know, a natural remedy? Your thoughts are welcomed. Oh,not to mention, another related symptom is the innability to sustain an errection for a decent period of time. Ok, your turn, let me know.
Q. Is there a chance for the urine test at the doctor's office to go wrong? Four times I have experienced home pregnancy tests. They all came positive to my delight. Once I had a urine test in a clinic it came negative. I was told at the clinic by a nurse that the home pregnancy test may go wrong. I am completely confused. Is there a chance for the urine test at the doctor's office to go wrong?
A. Lesa, the home pregnancy test is just a device to help knowing whether a woman is pregnant or not, but I will say that is never 100% accurate, maybe it is 99,something% accurate. but there's always slight chance for that to be wrong. repeated test will confirm the prior test.
sometimes when you're happened to check the pregnancy with 'poor-pregnancy-test-device' you can have your result mistaken. if you want to be sure, check it in your doctor's office, and discuss that with your doctor. and one more thing, yes it's true the later you're having late period the higher the probability you're having positive result. so, don't get confused, okay?
