Frequent Urination

[sportsnut3007]

Does anybody have any articles that say frequent urination is a symptom of ddd or causes ddd? 4 years are so ago I began having frequent urnination issues (10-15 times a day) and i have been to 3 different urologists over the years giving up on each after no help with meds. It started 7 months before my first major back issue which was caused by riding a bumpy 4 wheeler on a mountain all day and then playing basketball that night killed my back with pain the next morning. Since learning of this ddd stuff, I have suspected my frequent urination has helped lead to this ddd or now maybe was a sign of the beginning of the ddd. Any insight would be helpful.

Overactive bladder can be caused by a wide variety of reasons. I don't have any publications, but here are some links that might be helpful:

• Slow and progressive herniation of the lumbar disc may cause irritation of the sacral nerves and cause detrusor hyperreflexia.
