| Novocaine causing Frequent Urination
I found an old post from 2005 that is closed, but this is happening to me, and I have only found 2 anecdotal stories and no studies or research. I have had 2 episodes of frequent urgent urination at the dentist when I have had Novocaine. I have never experienced anything like it like it ever anywhere else. I had a 3 hour appointment and had to run 5 times! I would love to find some research.
Here's the original post in 2005:
"Okay, please don't laugh but this has been a problem for me for awhile. Whenever I get dental work done with novocaine I have to get up and run to the bathroom every 15 minutes or so -and I really have to go! Thankfully my dentist is a patient man. I was wondering of this happened to anyone else or if anyone knew if the medication itself was what caused it (or just my stupid nerves). I don't get injections with epi., so I know it's not that. Just wondering because I'm due to have my first root canal soon and don't know how I'll make it through a long visit - I'm nervous enough about that appointment and it would help to know it isn't just me."
