Why am I having frequent urination and lightheadedness?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am an 18-year-old female. I have two problems that I need help with. Firstly, I have been using the bathroom more frequently for around a month and a half and whenever I need to pee it is almost always urgent. I have to get to the toilet right away. My next problem is that I quit smoking and am now experiencing lightheadedness in the mornings. Does that have anything to do with smoking withdrawals? I have eaten sugary food, drank water and soda. It is not making me feel any less dizzy. I am not on any medications. I weigh 141 pounds.

Please advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

For frequent urination rule out diabetes by random blood sugar estimation. Second, urine routine microscopic examination can be done to check urinary tract infection. Stress history should be taken that can lead to urination and headache as well. Pre void and post void USG (ultrasound) pelvis also should be done. If no cause found then urodynamic flow study can be done.

Smoking withdrawal can lead to a headache. Be firm in not doing smoking again as your age is very less and smoking habit can lead to many consequences in future life. Avoid stress. Yoga, meditation will be beneficial. Consult urologist regarding the reports.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
