Passing urine less often?

Can any one help.... (sorry in advance if TMI!)

For a long time I have always had to get up to pee at least 3 times a night, in addition to peeing regularly throughout the day.  

But last night for the very first time I slept through without having to get up to pee and my first pee was only a tiny little bit.  Then throughout today I have hardly needed to pee and when I have it has only been a little bit.  I haven't drunk any less during the past few days or today.  My ankles aren't swollen though my belly feels a little swollen.  I don't feel I have a UTI either as no pain when I do pee? I don't feel unwell either, just the odd little pains I get around my back - but that is usual for me.

I am just wondering why all of a sudden my pee 'timetable' has suddenly changed in a matter of 24 hours when I have been taking in the same amount of fluids - where is it going if I haven't peed it out?

    Did you eat very salty foods before all this happened ? Hank.

    Is your urine a normal color? If this continues I would definitely contact your physician. Sooner rather than later. Here's hoping for more pee pee redface

    Thanks - luckily I was up again 3 times throughout the night passing pee so looks like it was just a blip!  I had't eaten anything salty that could have caused the blip?  I will monitor my output today and hopefully I will be letting out what I am taking in smile

    My suggestion is to check with a doctor regarding your urine stoppage. That is not normal. Hopefully it is not backing up somewhere. It could possibly be a prostate problem. Or an infection. Or a stricture. I am not a doctor.

    Excess urine can be caused by caffeine which is a diuretic like lasix. Sodas have caffeine as do some sports drnks.

    The worse drinks for stage 3, 4 or 5 is sports drinks because they contain alot of potassium and phophorus products. These cause increase your kidney problems.

    Hopefully you will see a doctor soon. Good luck
