Constant peeing at night... what is this?

Hi,

I have been confused in my last 3 months as to what is going on for me. A little bit of everything. Here are my symptoms which have patterns now:

  • Like BPH/CBP/CPPS - need to go pee often - like every 20 to 45 min, wake up every hour or 45 min at night - unable to sleep - so wake up ALOT at night 8+

  • Like BPH/CBP or CPPS - my volume is extremely low - less than 60ml generally. often there doesn't seem to be an obstruction

  • BPH like - have hesitation and double void - hesitation is having to tinkle for a long time to get the spincter to open and let urine out. often when i'm peeing often and nervous, the flow rate is better (not young mans) but doesnt' feel like an obstruction; at times after acupuncture and in the late evening, the flow goes to nothing and does appear to be dribbling and moving like a retention like behavior

-Nor BPH like - my bladder does not hold anything. it seems I get a signal to pee as it's filling. I don't get retention in other words. this does not seem BPH like, probably more neuralgia related since the signal is in my urethra (tip of penis) versus a normal bladder feeling of needing to pee.

  • not BPH like - sitting in warm water helps relax the pelvic floor and sometimes helps relieve urethral irritation or burn, internal pelvic floor relaxation (sticking finger up there even --not evena wand) also sort of helps

I've determined I have things:

some BPH - 84g prostate and was 45 2.5 years ago. cysto revealed urethral narrowing due to prostate (not sure if just inflamed though)

pelvic misfunction or CBP - test did find some microbes in my semen and EPS urine analysis (not STI or e-coli). But no urologist wants to treat - says it is likely natural flora in the prostate; evidence of pelvic misfunction as well with unilateral urethral signalling (pudental nerve damage like)

Did anyone with BPH have this rapid empying of bladder (not retention).

    I don't know, wouldn't you know it, have a painful spasm or something? I've had some pvr's and i'm below 100ml but that's usually when I'm in flow mode possibly due to a UTI. i seem to swing back to bph like obstructed mode sometimes too (like after accupuncture) or after taking an OAB medication. i generally know what it feels like when I'm peeing alot and keeping the bladder small, but I don't know what it would feel like to have 400ml and not be able to tell the difference.

    how could you know?
