What Causes Delayed Periods Along With Frequent Urination?
Ok so hear me out. I suffer from extreme anxiety. So I m 19 never had sex. I got curious and I masturbated. Once with a vibrating back messager but I had on an underwater. Then with the shower head but I stopped doing that. My point is I know I can t get pregnant from either one. But then I touched my self and that s what scares me. I haven t had a proper period since April. In May I spotted twice and June I had a light period maybe it was spotting again. Now I m urniating much more frequently. Could I be pregnant from just touching myself? There was no one else involved. But what if I touched a surface that had semen on it. I m sure I washed my hands before touching myself but I m not 100% sure. I am freaking out. Can I be pregnant from just that? Please don t laugh at me.

Hi,
A urinary tract infection is a common cause of frequent urination and this is the first thing to think of. An overactive bladder is another common cause but usually seen on the elderly, although it may be seen in young as well.
Overactive bladder is usually a collection of symptoms that can lead to frequent urination.
These include: urinary urgency or the sudden urge to urinate, caused by muscle contraction, urge incontinence, or loss of bladder control.
Excessive caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol may also irritate the bladder walls and can worsen frequent urination symptoms.
Treatment for frequent urination depends on the cause. Your doctor will first treat the primary disease responsible for frequent urination, such as diabetes.
If an infection is at fault, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics for getting rid of the infection.
Medications that control the muscle spasms in the bladder can help reduce urinary incontinence, or loss of bladder control.
Your doctor also may suggest doing pelvic exercises, such as Kegels or bladder retraining exercises, to help delay urination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
