    I've been having these bladder problems recently that consists of constant/frequent urges to urinate. The doctor did a Urine culture and found that I had some sort of UTI but I've gone through my entire cycle and I still have this urge to urinate all the time. Now I read on a site that Marijuana can sometimes lead to Polyuria...and the last time I toked was a few days ago. Anyone else have similar problems or think it may be associated?

    When I smoke I notice I go more frequently, but same goes for when I have an alcoholic drink or two.

    I feel you totally, sometimes I'll go and I'll feel like I still have to go but nothing so I stand and wait forever but I never get satisfaction... It really does suck but as I said it's only occured for me a few times

    Are you making sure you're hydrated? I know drinking more water seems like the opposite of what you want, but being dehydrated can make you feel like you need to go when there's nothing there. I've been through similar things due to pregnancies (and I tend to go more when I'm on my period too), but it helps if I try to ignore the urge when I know I don't really need to go. It trains my body to go longer in between bathroom trips.

    I would think that marijuana would have the opposite effect on you though. It's supposed to help with muscle contractions and nerve spasms, which are things that can lead to frequent urination. I'm not sure why it would effect anyone the other way. I would have to do some more reading about that.

    While MJ certainly didn't CAUSE your UTI, I find that it does seem to give me the urge to urinate more frequently.

    I don't know how much, if any, research has been done with regards to cannabis' effect on the urinary tract. But as others have suggested, stay hydrated, that seems to help with...everything.

    Good luck!
