Creatine and small \ over active bladder

[Jackstand347]

Hey everyone,
so I'm not in the best overall health but i am really pushing to change that and so far it's going well.
I want to start supplementing with creatine but I've read it can make you pee more and i wanted to hear y'all's personal experiences with this especially if you suffer from a small or overactive bladder. (I guess asking guys here to admit that might be too much 🤣🤣 )but Im right on the the safe side of the line of it being an inconvenience and if creatine does make you pee more i think I'll hold off untill I get this sorted out


Thanks

Assuming you just stick to 5g of creatine per day it's unlikely it will make any noticeable difference in term of urination.

I personally drink more water when taking creatine which leads to peeing more during the day.

yep 5g daily and 1L more water.

Is the creatine having an affecting your body that's asking you to drink more or is it that your doing more activity bc of the creatine or something else?

Creatine causes you to retain more water intramuscularly, so there is that, but as for it increasing actual thirst, not likely.
