What Causes Frequent Urination?

Posted on Mon, 19 May 2014

Question: Hi,
Since past few weeks I am suffering from frequent urination. Earlier i thought it was because of de-hydration so I started drinking more water and I am taking alkasol liquid twice a day. But it din't help. I am feeling weak and lazy. I need to go to pee in every 15-20 minutes. I don't have any pain or itching in urination. But Its very distracting and I am not able to concentrate on anything. I can't study or sleep. Please suggest me something for quick relief. I have exams in a week and I am not able to focus on studies. Thanks.
