Started creatine a month or two ago and ever since I’ve started taking it I need to urinate extremely frequently. Has anyone else experienced this before?

Everyone online seems adamant creatine doesn’t cause this. It’s not like I’m drinking a lot more water compared to before creatine either. Nothing else has changed.

Frustrating! Making it hard to sleep. Wonder what the mechanism of action leading to this could be.

I’m super into lifting and started taking creatine but ever since I have my urinary frequency and leaking/not being able to fully empty my bladder symptoms have gotten worse.

Has anyone experienced similar? I wonder what the possible mechanism of action is as everyone online seems to be adamant the creatine is unlikely to cause frequent urination.

Will probably have to end up quitting taking it.

Frustrating.

So I’m pretty sure I’ve had a tight pelvic floor most of my life due to stress/ptsd. Recently I’ve finally become aware of the muscles down there and how to relax them through stretching/belly breathing and being consciously aware of tensing up. However over the last few days it feels so relaxed down there it almost feels constantly ‘pleasurable’ and so relaxing and euphoric, especially when lying down. Is this normal? And how long is this meant to last? Am I just feeling pleasure because I’ve been so ‘tense’ all my life and this is what normal is meant to feel like? Any insight appreciated!
