Overactive bladder??

I pee on average about 30 times a day. I know this isn't normal, none of my friends come close to peeing this much. It's so bothering. Even after I pee, I still have to go. I just have to hold it for another class period and go again. It is a continuous cycle like this every single day. I don't pee a lot when I do go though, I can't hold it either. I have no control.....is this normal? I told my mom and she said that it was but I personally do not agree.Your opinions? Oh, and things like "Go to the doctor" will not help me because I can't afford it....plus no ride.

There's lots of reasons why you could be experiencing this. It could be something as symple as a UTI, but it sounds more like an internal problem. It could be something to do with the nerves of your bladder, or you could have kidney reflux (when the urine goes back up into your ureter (tube that connects kidney to the bladder) instead of going out your urethra. you may also be experiencing urinary retention which is when not all the urine comes out when you pee. There are many reasons why you might retain urine, and medications can affect it as well. I know you said not to say "go to the doctor" but I'm going to anyways. You should see a urologist. They can do a bladder scan to see if your holding extra urine (a simple procedure that doesn't hurt at all) and they can do other tests to see what's going on with you urinary tract.

Frequent urination is not normal and can be a symptom of a number of problems such as, urinary tract infection, sexually transmitted disease, diabetes (if you drink a lot), and even hormone imbalance. Try to find a free clinic, but make sure you get it checked out.
