Question : I feel weakness after Urination only in summer season. After I drink water, I feel better. This happens at the start of summer season (change in season) & may happen intermittently through out summer season in India. This problem is cyclical & is mostly felt in summer season when climate is hot.

Brief Answer: mild micturition syncope Detailed Answer: Hi. Noted your Medical and present history. This is quite an uncommon problem not encountered in a day-today practice. I can offer you possible explanation and probable treatment which may help. There is a known disorder called 'micturition syncope' and I think you have a mild form of this medical problem. The period- only in summer can be due to excessive salt excretion by the skin in sweat which gives you this problem obviously only in summer. I hope you have no problems with the blood pressure. Try to get a reading during, I mean after the incidence ( if possible). Try a simple thing : Check your serum electrolytes Take Electral solution- (1 packet in 1 liter of water), carry and drink this solution during summer . This may make you symptom free. Take coconut water whenever possible. Sensitive gut also looses lots of important electrolytes as they are passed out in the colon and enhance the problem you have.

Dear Dr Chandrakant, Thanks for the prompt response. When should I check 'serum electrolytes' ? Is it in morning after breakfast or when I feel weak or any time in day. Is 'serum electrolytes' check done through blood check up or through urine check up. Does this symptom has any relation to diabetes ? Regards... XXXX

Brief Answer: Most welcome,XXXX Detailed Answer: Serum electrolytes is done by drawing the blood. Try to get this done when you feel weak, if there are facilities available nearby your working place / home. Now Pune has many labs and can request the lab person to visit you too if he is ready. I do not think this is related to diabetes. Diabetes gives to frequent urination. Please get the blood test done. Correction by Electral solution and / or coconut water ( potassium) itself can be a diagnostic and therapeutic test. Please feel free to give me a feedback.

Dear Dr, Good Morning & greetings of the day. I have urge of frequent Urination only in Summer season. (Have notice this trend last around 3 to 4 years). This typically starts when climate changes from Winter to Summer and lasts only for summer season (3 to 4 months). This year I just felt it first on Sunday evening (16th March 2014) followed by mild weakness yesterday (17th March 2014). I have also observed that after urination if I drink adequate water then I feel less weak or no weakness. I have ignored this so far as I was able to manage. Meanwhile as suggested I will get the Serum electrolytes checked & will let you know the results. However I am happy to know your Pune connection during your college days. Would it be possible for you to share your email id (so that I can share Serum electrolytes report) as this question answer thread will get deleted from the website soon. Thanks & Regards... XXXX YYYY@YYYY
