Drinking too much water can do that. Have you been to a urologist? Have you had an ultrasound, CT scan or cystoscope exam done? These are the only things I can think of besides the usual blood work up and urine cultures

I know with me, that if I'm stressed I tend to urinate more often or if thinking about why. Hope this helps.

Are you very thirsty also? You probably should have your blood sugar checked. Frequent urination can be a sign of diabetes.

Hi, Kene.
You need to see a urologist and have a cystoscopy and a residual urine test.
Let us know what you learn.
You just happen to have a doc who is not taking your symptoms seriously and, in my opinion, you need to be finding a better doc. Has your present doc even asked you if you do this all night as well?????

kene,
You NEED a diagnosis. Almost certainly your bladder is not emptying and there are no non-serious causes of that that will not get worse without treatment.
The simplest test you need is to "empty" your bladder and then immediately get catheterized to measure how much urine is left in the bladder. The amont should be zero and I will bet that it is not. ANY physician seeing your residual will have to go further to determine why.
If you have no money, you need to apply for medicaid and get this attended to.
IF you have no residual, this changes everything.
Walt
