1. do you take ephedrine? 2. caffeine? 3. have you got laid in a while? (I know sounds funny, but I used to have a problem. well I just started "exercising" more and it and my unit tends to hang down lower.) 4. is your scrotum tight too? 5. "excessive thirst" are you induldging yourself? (you should be.) I drink about 2 gallons of water on most days. out of the fact that I just like it! FOLLOW UP ON THIS, I COULD HELP YOU WITH MORE INFO. | ||

Ephedrine and cafeine combo sometimes. I drink tea/coffee all the time. Sexually I don't think is a problem Scrotum too tight? no I dont think so I indulge in plenty of water, the difference being that I never used to have this problem of difficult urination and dehydration it has only happened lately. I thought maybe it was some problem with kidneys bladder and or prostate? I also thought it was to do with the alcohol I had been drinking due to the stress of personal problems lately but still happen when i don't drink.

it used to happen with me cause of ephedrine. something to do with prostate swelling I think. hmmm. honestly I thought it would be one of those problems. I don't know if I can help you. If It's not the caffeine, or ephedrine. I'm clueless? p.s. it's not the alcohol. | ||

Your problem is simple, it is the Tea and coffee, both contain good amounts of caffine and both are diuretics, cut back on them and your kidney function should return to normal, because right now your are stressing them pretty bad from reading your description of events. ------------------ | ||

The thing is that I have been drinking tea coffee for years and the problem is only recent other wise it does sound ephedrine and caffeine related. I was just concerned that it may be more sinister problem like the kidneys or something. Thanks for the responses. | ||

look if you're drinking more than a gallon of water a day and still thirsty, and you're peeing in clear excessive amounts you most likely have diabetes insipidis. the signs and symptoms are what you are descrbibing. This has nothing to do with your coffee or tea, it has to do with hormones. But if i were you i'd cut back coffee, tea, sodas, sugar, generally any diuretics, any caffeine, and maybe eat a little more sodium in your diet. If this does nothing you need to go to your doctor ASAP because risk of dehydration and many risk factors are involved. Better be safe than sorry.... |
