How Can I Increase My Flow of Urine? - #60258
I am really worried about my low urine flow lately. It started about a couple weeks ago, I noticed I was going to the bathroom more often but getting very little out. Like, I’ll sit there and wait forever to get anything out! Sometimes it feels like my urine flow stops and starts, which is super frustrating. I'm not sure if it’s something serious or just a temporary thing? My mornings are especially bad; I wake up feeling the urge, but when I try to go, it’s like my bladder just doesn’t want to cooperate! I have tried drinking more water, thinking that might help, but still, it’s like I barely get a trickle. I read somewhere that low urine flow could also be a sign of other issues, and now I'm kinda scared. Could this be just dehydration or maybe something worse? Also, I wonder if my diet is affecting it somehow. I mean, I have been under a lot of stress lately and that might not help either, right? Do you think that’s related to how the flow of my urine has been? Would love any tips on how to increase my urine flow naturally, or if I maybe need to look into this further with a doctor or something. Thanks!
