Always an urge to pee (please help asap)

> So it isn't necessarily something dangerous or important?

Who knows? You provided a very small amount of information to a bunch of non-medical people. It could be something unimportant, or it could be something very important. But a blood sugar test is very quick and easy, or can be part of a regular blood test. If you are really peeing a lot, you should certainly get it checked out.

If you're diabetic, your kidneys generate a lot of urine to flush out the excess sugar in your blood. That dehydrates you and makes you very thirsty.

NtroducingMyself> Yes eatting a lot of sugar can also be a cause.

For a 14-year-old? It's possible that, in large amounts and over a long term, sugar consumption might lead to insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes). There is no definitive research that I'm aware of.

I suppose the calories in the sugar can make him overweight, which will make him a higher risk for type 2 diabetes. But eating a lot of steaks will do the same thing.

You can never rule out childhood diabetes unless a test is done. True given his age is very unlikely.. but the first thing I thought when he said he urinates frequently was diabetes. Regaurdless I think we agree if he wants true help he needs to seek the help of a medical professional.

> And its not an URGE to pee...its just i feel as though i could pee if i want.

That's what the urge to pee is. I assume you mean that you don't actually put out much. If that's the case, you might have a urinary tract infection. That's also something to see the doctor about. They might have you pee into a sterile cup and culture the urine. If there bacteria, they'll give you a short course of antibiotics. It's easy.

I thought you were talking about sugar consumption leading to diabetes. Clearly, eating sugar can screw you up (and make you pee a lot) if you already have diabetes.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear :grin:

Yet another possibility is a urinary tract infection - they don't always cause pain.

We can't tell, so you should see a doctor.

Yup, I mentioned that a few posts up. When my male cat had a UTI, his symptoms were a lot like what Unknown described (plus a bit of blood in the urine).

My bad, sorry.

Don't worry man, when I was your age, 2 years back, I used to go to the bath room, climb into bed. I had a shared room with ym sister. and I would be up about 5 - 0 mins later, in the end I got so sick of it, I would feel desperate and when I got there a small sprinkle. It left after a while, just forget about it and try not to think on it.

Maybe true for you, maybe not true for him.
