hey guys, first time poster I googled this exact problem and came across this message board.

I have been smoking for quite some time, but never a heavy smoker, if I have on me, i'll smoke daily, but only once a day, usually at night before I go to sleep. I've smoked for a good year or two without any negative side effects physically.

For the past 3-4 months or so whenever I smoked I felt alot of pressure build up in my groin area and the urge to pee often. I would go and pee (it would often take a while to get myself going) but eventually it would come out and i end up going multiple times an hour. eventually, the urge went away.

about 3 weeks ago, I smoked, and as usual for the past few months, the urge was there. I peed a few times and afterwards the urge/pain became worse. Along with feeling like I had to pee constantly, it began a sharp pain/sensation. The urine coming out was very white-ish and cloudyish

The pain did not go away for a few days. For streches of time, I was going to the bathroom every 10 minutes I told some family about it and they said I probably have a UTI. I called up a urologist for an appointment but he couldnt see me for a bunch of weeks. However, they gave me a prescription for "bactrim" and had me take a urine test (thy never called me about results).

Anyway, I took the antibiotics for 10 days and the pain subsided and I felt better. I did NOT smoke during this time. That leads me to earlier tonight where I smoked for the first time since. I took but 2 hits from my pipe, and the urge/pain came soaring back. I am running to the bathroom every 10 minutes now (same white-cloudy urine), and am in extreme discomfort its almost 5am and I can't sleep.

Obviously I will try and see a doctor as soon as possible, but it its early sunday morning (super bowl sunday!) and I know I won't be able to see one in the immediate future. Anyone have any advice/suggestions for me?

I never knew smoking marijuana caused UTIs...I have so many friends who smoke and none of them suffer from this problem...There has to be something else wrong with me, and weed is just somehow triggering it, right?

Also, any techniques of how to subside the pain would be greatly appreciated


Thanks guys.
redirkulous Reviewed by redirkulous on . Smoking and the inability to urinate Hello everyone, I am new and have been having some physical problems lately. Hopefully some of you can shed some light on what has been going on. I will try to explain this as quickly as possible without making it too long. I have been smoking for about 4 years and the last 2 years have been very regularly. (I'm 22) In the last 3 years and actually the vast majority of the time that I have smoked I have smoked out of a bong/bubbler. I was always good about taking breaks until recently Rating: 5
