4. A persistent, urgent need to urinate
Frequent urination can be caused by many conditions such as diabetes, urinary tract infections, and even interstitial cystitis. The difference here is that, unlike with other conditions, the urge to urinate doesn’t go away even after peeing. You might feel short relief after voiding your bladder but the urge to urinate will likely return soon after even if you haven’t drunk any water after relieving yourself.
Many patients with interstitial cystitis have said that they would often feel the urge to pee even when they were physically unable to as their bladder was empty. Of course, there are certain medications that can help with this symptom but the excessive use of it can lead to kidney problems and other complications. It’s important that you don’t cause new issues while treating existing ones otherwise you may never escape the cycle of suffering brought on by these conditions.
