I am constantly urinating and I am always thirsty. I get UTI's quite frequently too.?


Question:
I drink water all day long, but I don't know what's wrong with me. I am 5'6" about 120 lbs and I exercise 3-4 times/ week. I don't drink alcohol often and get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. I also just got my physical back and I had elevated triglycerides (233). Could there be a possible link?

Answers:
If you just had a physical, did you tell your doctor about your symptoms? Most physical blood work includes a test for diabetes (or a "glucose" test). Did your doctor order one? The Triglyceride level should not have anything to do with your symptoms. Triglycerides are basically "fats" that come from carbohydrates, yours is a little elevated. Sometimes diabetics have high triglycerides, but I can't believe your doctor would not have tested for that. You should contact your doctors office and ask if they did a test for diabetes. If not, ask them to do one.
Some other reasons you could be so thirsty would be: If you live in a hot, humid climate (this tend to dehydrate people), if you sweat alot, or if you eat too much salt.
Frequent Uta's can be caused from improper wiping, wearing "thong" panties, too many bubble baths, not rinsing properly, holding your urine too long, and sometimes even medications (rarely). There are many more reason's for frequent Uta's, but you should discuss this with your doctor, or even try seeing a Urologist. They specialize in problems like yours. Good Luck, hope you find an answer quickly.
Get checked for diabetes.
Are you diabetic. Thats what it sounds like to me.
Well I think you should definitely see the doctor. My daughter was diagnosed with Reflux (the urine goes back into the kidney causing infections), and that causes a lot of UTI's I have no clue if it is related, but you should have tests done.
Get yourself to your GP they can just do some bloods to check for diabetes because the thirst and frequent micturation element automatically makes you think of diabetes. Hope you get it sorted soon.
