Frequent urination. Sensitivity to wine and tea. Dry & thirsty in the morning.?

After one of many intense bike rides, I felt a burning sensation in my pelvic area and an excessive urge to urinate. I have experienced these symptoms after periods of vigorous exercise but they always subsided.
(I also have an inguinal hernia that hasn’t been repaired.)
This time, in addition to the burning sensation, I also experienced mild soreness around my hip. I also had a fever for one night only. A few times I experienced mild (kidney?) stones.
I stopped riding the bike, started drinking cranberry juice, and saw palmetto/nettle.
Since then, all symptoms have gone except for the more frequent than usual urination especially after drinking wine &and possibly tea. I never had a problem with wine before.
I also feel drier and more thirsty during or after the night.
My GP ruled out diabetes and didn’t find a UTI, even though I was sure I had one. The prostate seemed fine after a DRE, and the PSA seems OK. I still get up several times at night to urinate. I am 50+.

Sounds like you have urge incontinence from an overactive bladder or previous bladder infection.. I had the same, and still have to wear protection. I visit a urologist often. There are meds for it now, but don’t want to take any more. I am careful not to drink certain fluids that don’t allow me to hold it when I get the desire to go. My PSA is about 6.5 and has been steady. I am 58. I had all the tests including biopsies.
