needing to pee loads of times in one day

[Penny]

is there a reason why you would need to pee loads of times? like about every hour, and sometimes more.
for the past couple of days i've been like this, but i have no other symptoms of anything..like it doesnt burn, i have no pains, etc...nothing. [and no, im not drinking too much]

it's just really annoying, and a bit worrying, and i will be going to my doctor next week, but i thought i'd ask here to see if anyone knows.
i've gone through the list of stuff like cystitis, etc but can't find anything that it might be as i have absolutely no other signs of anything.

does anyone know what this might be/what might cause it/what i can do about it?

would love to get this sorted if i can!

thanks

Is it possible that you may be pregnant!

[Penny]

I hope not!
I'm always careful, and there weren't any accidents that either of us knew about on the weekend, so i don't think so

It sometimes happens when your period is near.

how about diabetes? is that not a sign?

[PinkFlower]

my friend had that ...started all of a sudden and has carried on for months and months. she finally went to the doctors and has had several tests that have turned out fine and she is awaitin some oothe resuiults. i suggest go to the doctors they have tested her for a number of things and it could be 1 of them or just something simple like a week bladder xxx hope you are okay tho. x

Sometimes it can be an indicator of high blood pressure. It could just be nerves. Or, sometimes it is as simple as drinking a lot of water. I hope it is the latter... :) good luck.

If it's diabetes then the sign is drinking a lot because of an unquenchable thirst and also a sweet smelling breath. I sometimes get that when I've got a chill in my bladder and drinking extra water helps.

there is diabetes in the family (nan, uncle, etc) but i don't really have any of the other signs of it.

I hope it is what jacey said, or just something that will go away soon!

thank you for all of your answers - it does give me some help! =)

Penny,

This could well be a sign of diabetes. It also runs in my family, and my mum jokingly said I would 'get it, one day.'

During a rountine check-up, the nurse found I have diabetes (and I am only in my early 20s). Following on from what you said 'I dont have any other signs of diabetes' I also, did not have any noticeable signs.

My advice to you would be to go your GP and to ask for a simple blood test, where they prick your finger and check your blood sugar level.

hi. thanks for your answer, i think i probably will get tested.

is it quite normal [or possible] to suddenly become diabetic one day? like suddenly just wake up one day with a sign of it
