Could someone explain what's going on here as I'm sure maybe some of you will have experienced similar -

For about 2 months now, only on certain days though, I have these random bouts of urination where I'll pee more than I should. Definitely not every day but on occasional days I'll get the odd urinary frequency. For example today -

In the morning I drank around 700ml then some time I voided around 700ml. about maybe 2 hours later, I'll have a slight urge and then void another 400ml despite NOT DRINKING ANYTHING in these 2 hours. So why the retention? Is this normal? I don't get it.
This has not really happened to me before in my life.

I have been to the GP and he did mention I have a slightly larger but very smooth prostate (for someone of my age 34) but he suspects that I have a case of over-active bladder, which I suppose would explain the intermittent symptoms.

Urination volume and frequency is not exactly in relation to your fluid intake. For example, if you drink alcohol, you will urinate out more volume than the alcohol...because alcohol metabolism creates additional water from the stored water in your body. Exercise can also increase urine output above and beyond fluid intake.

On the other hand, if you are in a hot and humid environment, you will sweat out a lot of water, and your urine output will decrease.

Unless you want to get yourself a fitbit and monitor 100% of your activity and chart your urine output in relation not only to your fluid intake....but the types of fluids and the energy output of your various activities.....then it's really not an issue. Or is it?

winglets-

A lot of us have patiently answered your questions even though they are mostly off topic. You are 34 and you do not have prostate cancer. This is a forum for men that do and their caregivers. You seem to be generated unnecessary anxiety with your useless questions (I noticed that most of the posts on the front page are from you). I'm asking you to consider that you are causing your own anxiety and taking up space that others might profit from. Maybe it's time to let it go.

If you are concerned about urination, see a urologist.
