Peeing way more than I'm drinking

So for the past few weeks I've been running to the bathroom constantly and every time it's a full bladder's worth. It doesn't even match up with how much fluid I'm taking in throughout the day.
Also getting this dull ache around my pubic bone area. Anyone think this could be related to kidney stones?

Stone Fighter #C16081May 5, 2026That sounds like something you'd want your doctor to look into. Try tracking exactly how much you drink vs. how much you pee over a full day before your appointment — it'll help them narrow things down. Probably nothing serious but there are some metabolic conditions that can cause this kind of mismatch. They'll most likely want bloodwork and a urine sample.
Stone Fighter #5FDF1CMay 5, 2026Honestly you could grab some urine test strips off Amazon and do a quick at-home check. Not a replacement for seeing a doctor but it might give you some peace of mind in the meantime.
Stone Fighter #2EEB2FMay 5, 2026Yeah peeing that much without upping your fluid intake is definitely something to get looked at. Could be a UTI thing, some kind of metabolic deal, or yeah maybe stone-related honestly. The aching down there is enough reason to call your doc rather than playing guesswork online. They can run the right tests and get imaging done if needed. Most kidney stones hit you with that brutal flank pain you can't ignore, but everybody experiences things differently so don't rule it out.
