Hi guys, i'm in a pretty bad situation as far as my physical and mental well-being is concerned.
A bit of history, I had a big bout of tummy/abdominal pain and symptoms which I stressed over in December 2015 and early January 2016 with frequent trips to the doctor which eventually lead to me getting the boot from work. I was a nervous wreck for that time and after so many visits and tests with seemingly nothing wrong with me the doctor diagnosed me with depression/anxiety and prescribed me 50mg Sertraline.
At first I was hesitant as all these symptoms I had like the crazy pain all around my abdominal area made me truly believe I had some form of stomach/colon cancer. Eventually after 2/3 weeks of Sertraline I was starting to feel the benefit and for the next 5/6 months up until July I was feeling great. I moved from the UK to the Czech Republic in Febuary to temporarily live with my boyfriend, I was in a great moment in my life. Then things started to change...
Now for the past 4 or so months I did notice that I was dribbling quite a bit after urinating, probably noticed it around May, but I wasn't too bothered about it as it didn't get in the way of my life and it took a few wipes of tissue paper to solve the issue. (sorry if tmi). Come July I started to get some bad groin/testicle pain (not caused by anxiety, i certainly wasn't anxious when it started), eventually I went to the Czech docs and they did and ultrasound and xray and couldn't find anything wrong with me. At this point I was in a bad state of anxiety.
After a week or 2 the pain subsided but this was when my frequent urination kicked in out of nowhere, I started having to go every 20 minutes and while I was hoping this would be a short phase it's now extended to 2 months of non-stop peeing. Some days are worse than others. I did go to the docs between the transition of when the constant peeing started and the pain dying down, he did an ultrasound of my bladder before and after urinating and he said everything seemed normal, he prescribed me 2 weeks worth of Vesicare but all this seem to do was cause me to strain while peeing. I haven't been since.
What the question is basically, is can it really 2 months worth of frequent urination be caused by anxiety or could the be something the docs are missing? Thank you guys in advance and sorry for the wall of text, this thing really does seem to be taking control of my life. Sometimes I can hold on for an hour or so depending if it's a good or bad day, but it's still something I really need sorting. I should also mention I need to go once every middle of the night, on the odd occasion twice but it's rare.
Something I should note; I did stop taking Sertraline around April time and didn't feel anxious after stopping, and I did start to take it again around July when the groin pain started in case it was anxiety, could the Sertraline be causing the frequent urination?
