This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

For a few days the urge to urinate is increasing and with that flow of urine also. I got my urine tested and in the report, everything is normal my doctor prescribed me some antibiotics and a few other tablets. After taking medicines frequent urination became low no but I have to urinate every hour Is it normal.

Hi,

Obviously, all tests were done and you were treated properly. Of course, one could repeat the test for bacteria in your urine. However, I think you are suffering from an over-active bladder, a neurological issue, but not dangerous. Two things are important. One is that you should drink 9 to 12 cups of liquids a day and pee immediately when you feel the urge to do so.

To ensure that I will prescribe you diapers for adults (please take that seriously) in the strongest version. As soon as you feel the urge, pee immediately without even giving a second thought about it. Change the diapers at least every 8 hours, and do not be ashamed. This treatment protocol is not uncommon but nobody likes to talk about it. Get well soon!

The Probable causes

urine control issue

Investigations to be done

Repeat urine test for bacterial infection.

Differential diagnosis

infection

Probable diagnosis

Over-active bladder

Treatment plan

Wearing adult diapers (e.g. Romsons Dignity Premium Adult Diapers or a similarly strong absorbing product) 24h a day for at least one year. Change them every 8 hours and keep your skin under the diapers creamed and in good shape. Pee immediately when you feel the urge to do so wherever you are and whatever you’re doing at that moment. Should the treatment start to have an effect after a couple of months, wear the diapers at least for one year nevertheless. Experience teaches us that it would even be better to wear them for three to five years so that your nervous system can learn to no being over-active in regards to your bladder again.

Preventive measures

Good skin care under the diapers.

Regarding follow up

Any time you want, I’m here for you.
