Does anxiety make anyone here urinate more?

[kammie72]

I feel like over the past few days, since I was told I needed a ct scan on my kidneys, I've been peeing almost every hour or feel the urge to pee. Now mind you, I'm now looking up that this is a symptom of ovarian cancer so I'm worried about that. I'm trying to tell myself that because I'm tense I'm causing this because I wasn't have these issues until I got scared about my kidneys.

It's just a sick cycle now....

Yes, it absolutely does me! The more nervous I get, the more I have to pee.

I peed constantly when i convinced myself i had diabetes. Once my test cant back neg for diabetes my excessive peeing completely stopped!

Yes prior to me having a hormone imbalance. that caused me to have a anxiety attack for a week 2 times
Within 10 weeks.
I had the urge to urinate up to 20 times a day.
Burning in the urethra I'm also a male.
Went to the ER because I self diagnose myself with bladdet cancer .
My issue went away after they did all scans and I was fine
My anxiety went through the roof and convinced myself I had cancer.
My issue went away because I went back on testosterone.
I believe anxiety is caused by a imbalance of hormones as my issue is gone.
The best advice I can give you that my doctor gave me
1. "you need to get off this cancer thing"
2. get your hormones checked by a endocrinologist.

Yes, peeing more when I'm anxious happens to me. You went to the doctor and are following their orders on what to do next. I know it's really hard as I'm in the same boat treating a medical situation myself at the moment and really struggling to calm my anxiety around it. You're doing the right things though and under medical supervision and hopefully remembering that can give you some peace of mind.

I’m also a faithful person (though not religious) and I wish I had more faith during moments like these. My friend had to have a breast biopsy and she’s just laughing and joyous as she waits for the results. Plans go to skiing in the meantime. Meanwhile I’m huddled over a computer thinking what if.

I'm an anxiety-ridden, 67 year old faithful whizzer. I've shown the expected rise in frequency as I've aged but am confident that anxiety increases the visits to many isolated "spots" on my farm. Not a single plant growing around the edges of my deck.

Oh yes it does. As a matter of fact once I was in the er having a panic attack and I must have peed 20 times. They then asked me for a urine sample and my pee was clear as water. The nurse thought I was trying to lie to them about my problems to get meds. I freaked out! My pee was so clear because I was losing all my fluids from anxiety.

I think it does. I feel like that happens to me. I do the same thing with looking up things. Ovarian cancer. Diabetes. Bladder cancer. Freak myself out. All my blood test came back clear. I am going through menopause and understand that can cause bathroom frequency too.

Yeah, i pee a lot too. Actually, more of a sitting on a toilet, peeing and having a feeling I am not done, although I am, just waiting for it "all to be out". Peeing intensifies prior going to bed, I usually go 3-5 times to bathroom, even though I know I don't need to.

I urinate much more when I'm stressed. Well, I don't urinate more necessarily but I have the feeling of needing to pee more. Like before exams, when waiting for medical results, etc... But anxiety doesn't really have that effect on me, weird.

My worst anxiety causes me to have to pee constantly. Like literally constantly. Like I can go every 5-15 minutes. It’s horrible !
