On January 18th 2007 I was stuck in a situation I could not get out of . I had to hold my urine. For a long time. Like 2 hours. The last hour was hard, the last 30 minutes was very painful.
Since then I have had this frequent urge to urinate. Sometimes I would urinate 10-15 times a day. I have had to stop drinking coffee because if I do, I will have to urinate every 30-45 minutes all day almost. It seems to be getting better very very slowly, but just when I think it is getting better, ill get 3 urinations in 2 hours or something. That was today. Morning till 3pm only urinated 3 times (and once was with a bowel movement). Then from 330-6pm I had to go like 5 times. I did drink cranberry juice for lunch at noon.
So what is the matter with me? Will I get better? I don't have health insurance so it will take 3-4 months to see a urologist. I saw a family doctor who tested me and said I didn't have a urinary tract infection or diabetes. Said everything seemed fine.
I read somewhere that holding urine can stretch out your bladder, which is a muscle. Then it takes a few weeks for it to stretch back to normal size. But it had been over 2 months.
Please advise
Thanks very much
