Does an OBGYN take care of frequent urination symptoms or is that something I should see my doc for?
I have an OBGYN appt this week. I am having very frequent urination and it could be any one of a number of things including diabetes or a UTI.
Is this in my OBGYNS juristiction or is this more of something for my general doctor.
Are you having burning with this urination? If so then it’s classic UTI. You can start drinking cranberry juice. It raises the pH of your urine and makes it a hostile place for bacteria to live. If you don’t like cranberry juice, they have cranberry pills over the counter at most pharmacies. Also increase the amount of water you drink. It’ll help flush everything out.
With diabetes, not only do you have frequent peeing, but frequent thirst, dizziness, nausea and sometimes vomiting. Cut down on carbs and simple sugars.
The GYN could prescribe something for the UTI. They often do a urine dipstick test (at least mine does) at every annual visit. But to check for diabetes you should go see your primary doctor.
