I am a 40 year male. I noticed if I take Vitamin A supplement in any form like sea cod liver oil etc, the next day I feel a lot of pain and discomfort during urination. Esp towards the end of urination which will last for a few seconds. Also during the day the pain will come and go a few times. It happens for a day or two and becomes normal. I have a healthy sex life and no alcohol or smoking habits. This dependency on vitamin A related pain was identified accidentally. In fact a few years back inwas having those capsules and after a week I noticed blood during urination. At that point of time I wasn't aware of this vit A causing this issue. At time a USG showed a small swell in the bladder. I suffered for a week with pain in abdominal area, docs treated me with Antibiotics for 2 weeks and then everything was OK. Subsequent USG showed, swelling disappeared. Now after 2 years when I had vit a supplement, I felt tge same pain, then stopped those and was fine. Ine more experiment made me sure it was due to that. Please note, I tried different brands just to rule out any specific issue with one type or brand. When I was in late 20s I used yo have these supp for a month or so every year or alt year. I never saw this problem. But now it is. What is wrong with me? I researched online, but have not found any contradictions related to cod liver oil or vit A to unirary irritation etc. Please help, thanks a lot in advance.
