  5. I'm a 21-year-old male, and Ive noticed that whenever I drink a lot of water, within 15 to 30 minutes, I feel desperate to pee and cant hold it for long. I end up peeing 2 to 3 times in an hour. Also, if I eat more than usual, I immediately feel the need to go to the bathroom. I have a 7mm kidney stone, and my doctor suggested drinking more water. But this frequent urination happens when I drink or eat more. Could this be a sign of diabetes, or is it related to the kidney stone?
