I had a physical recently after experiencing frequent urination. I was afraid it might be cancer. The tests including prostate exam were all negative. My doctor said it could be stress related. I do notice it comes and goes. I'll be "normal" for a few days then a week of frequent urination and the worry that cuases.
I've never heard of frequent urination being anxiety related?
One other thing, I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome several years ago. But frequent urination is not one of the IBS symptoms. Plus my IBS has been pretty much quiet for more than a year now.
When I was having panic attacks and bad anxiety I was always going to the bathroom.
I was sure there was something wrong with my kidneys.
I asked my Doctor about it and he told me that frequent urination was very common in people who suffer with this disorder.
Once my panic attacks went away, so did the frequent urination.
i have that problem too, i thought it might have been something wrong with my bladder or something...
that makes everything make more sense when it comes to that... is there though anything you can do about it?

When I'm nervous & stressed, I can run to the bathroom every 5 minutes, I've always been that way, since I was a kid. I know a lot of people have this same problem, so I am sure it's stress related.
It's to do with your body trying to get rid of waste product to make you be able to run faster away from danger.
Because that's whats going on, your body doesn't differentitate between the type of panic we have where there is nothin to run from, and the type of panic you would experience if a huge tiger was hunting you.
Soldiers who think they are going to die will often sh1t and p1ss themselves for exactly this reason.
