Urinary urge
When I have an urge to urinate, no urine, but when I sit down on the toilet, I get an 'electrical' buzz that travels up to my face and down to my fingers.
Drinking several large glasses of water returns me to normal.
Has anyone ever heard of this ?
My urologist PA has never heard of it.

Hi,
Apparently, you must be getting dehydrated if several glasses of water returns you to normal. I'm 79 and I've noticed that as I am older, I require more water now than I used to. Just drink a lot of water. Take a bottle or two of water with you when you go places like to a doctor's appointment where you may have to wait a while. Water helps all aspects of your body.
I have no idea what the electrical buzz is but it might be a side effect of dehydration since it goes away when you drink water.
I wish you the best.

1 ReactionIt happens in spite of my drinking liquids before...
The buzz is briefly painful, but goes away after 1 min.

1 ReactionI'm sorry. I misunderstood about the buzz. Maybe if you did some research online about it you could figure out what it exactly is and how it is treated . Start perhaps with the Mayo Clinic and possibly also some other major medical facilities.

1 ReactionUpdate - I'm now getting the 'buzz' every time I urinate.
And I'm drinking a lot of water.
And I have unsuccessfully searched Mayo, and Medlineplus.
I'm so sorry you are having such a time with this! Perhaps you should go back to your doctor or find another one.
Ask God for help with this problem. He's always there for us. Just talk to him like he's your best friend and he is! I'll say a prayer for you too.
I wish you the best.

I have the same thing. I've been incontinent for over 30 years. Last week I passed a kidney stone. That was painful. I'll start drinking more water, that seems to be helping the buzzing feeling. The ER doctor checked for UTI but found nothing. I'm between a rock and a hard place drink more water then be on the toilet all day.
