Patient's question:
I got sick again. The doctor said I wasn't treated thoroughly enough. The last time, I received three days of injections and took medicine for 12 days. But now, more than a month has passed, I still feel psychological pressure and keep worrying about getting infected again. So, I often feel the urge to go to the bathroom. I drink three to four cups of water in the morning, two cups in the afternoon, and three to four cups at night. I also go to the bathroom more frequently, about every half hour to an hour, and always feel the urge to go, but when I'm busy and can't think about it, this feeling doesn't occur. I feel very troubled and don't know what to do!Doctor's answer:
If you have the symptoms of frequent urination and urgency, it may not only be related to physical issues but could also be caused by anxiety. After ruling out a urinary tract infection, it is mostly related to your emotional state. You can take some sleep aid medications in the short term. These medications can help alleviate certain levels of anxiety while also promoting better sleep. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, get adequate rest, and maintain a positive mindset. Avoid cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
