Q: I urinate frequently, even when I have not drank anything. I am up 3-4 times a night, sometimes more

After emptying my bladder, if i continue to sit there I may go a couple times more, even though it is very little.  As if my bladder is not fully emptying.  Had a bladder scan and shows nothing as far as my bladder emptying.  Had a urine test, shows a little blood and bacteria but dr says nothing to worry about.  Typically, as with today,  I had nothing to drink for five hours of getting up in the morning and still urinated 4 times within four hours.  Am I overreacting or should I be concerned?

Have yor doctors do the urodynamic testing or it could be an urinary tract infection.

Sounds like an overactive bladder. Get it checked. If they want you to take meds I wouldnt do it. Meds have some ikky side effect. Wear a diaper instead.
