Anxiety affecting urination?

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I'm new here and hoping someone can offer some advise. I'll try to be as thorough as possible without writing a novel. I'm 37 male btw. So basically I started focusing on my urination habits way to much for some reason and after reading up on normal frequency it has only caused more anxiety about it. I'll be great for a few days and then like a light switch I'll begin to worry and focus on it again. Sometimes I feel like I go too often compared to what I read is (normal). I will also notice a slight irritation at the tip of my urethra which kind feels like an urge to go sometimes but i might notice it even if I don't actually need to urinate. I went to the doctor on August 30 and did a urinalysis which was completely normal and my doctor was not concered. I've gone back and forth between diabetes and prostatitis/pelvic floor but I have no other symptoms of either and I've read up on them plenty as google can be like crack for an anxious mind. I do workout heavy 5 days a week but I dought that is causing this without accompanied pain. I go back for my yearly check up/blood work in a few weeks so if something is wrong I'm sure I'll know then but has anyone else noticed anxiety affecting their urinary tract?

Let me tell you one simple story: i am a big football fan. Two seasons ago my team was about to win the championship after 30 years, so every game of the long season was like a finale to me. Every time my team played, i was so anxious i'd go to take a pee every 5-10 minutes. So Yes, anxiety can send you to the bathroom more often.

 

Don't worry about that.
