Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 19 year old male, who weighs 158 pounds and 5.7 feet tall. About three to four years ago, I was urinating every five to 10 minutes, so I used some medicines. It took about two months to get rid of this illness, but it did not heal completely. For the first two years, I was urinating in every one to two hours in winter and two to three hours in summer. I was and still am very weak during cold seasons. I even stopped taking soda drinks, as it made the frequency of urination more.
During this two years, many doctors checked me, but they did not find any problem. I used many medicines, but I did not see any change. After these two years, I started masturbating three times a week, and I saw improvement in my condition. Now, I have to pee every three to four hours in winter and five to seven hours in summer. But in the last two to three months, I stopped masturbating. And unfortunately, I started having bad times again. I have this problem, not the entire month, but it starts about 10 to 15 days a month. During nights, I do not have any problem. Is it possible that urination and masturbation are connected? I think not masturbating cannot be the cause of problem or illness. What can be the cause? What can I do in this situation? I used active bladder medicines, but I saw no response.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You have classical signs of overactive bladder or interstitial cystitis. I think if you feel better with masturbation, then you can masturbate there is no harm. Yes, masturbation will cause relaxation of bladder muscles and help indirectly. Continue with other conservative measures like avoid soda and alcohol. I suggest you to take, tablet Pentosan polysulfate, one tablet three times a day, and tablet Darilong (Darifenacin) 7.5 mg one tablet in the morning.
Thanks.
