I don't no if I am the only one that urinates frequently especially when I drink water my bladder gets full quickly, I am not diabetic. I also have the almost 60 peri meno symptoms. Thank God I am managing each symptoms that arises but frequent urination it's my concern. I make sure I empty my bladder before going out to avoid urgency.

    Hi mercy, yes I only have to drink and the toilet is calling, if I drink a lot I wee a lot if I don't drink a lot I don't wee a lot that's how it works..but I notice since menopause when I go it's like my bladder not emptying properly and need to go back soon after but this happens now again.

    Yes, I could wee for England!!  It's much worse if I'm anxious or stressed and if I have much caffiene or alcohol.  Don't be tempted not to drink water though or else that could cause its own problems. x

    Hi, I drink or not I wee a lot and of course if I drink it gets a lot worse. I am sure I empty it completely and plenty each time but I still go again. So yes you are not a lone.

    Yes, I experience this too sometimes. It comes and goes, and it's very annoying when it's frequent - sometimes it feels like every 15 minutes! I drink water regularly all day to prevent or limit kidney stones. I agree with the comment about being sure to drink enough anyway!

    Hello.

    Yes, I need to urinate frequently. Sometimes every 10 to 15 minutes. Sometimes the need to urinate comes on quickly and urgently. I have sneezed or coughed and leaked a little bit. Sometimes my bladder aches Luke I have a bladder infection but I don't have one.

    I woke up one night and urine was just running out of me. I wasn't weeing the bed, it was just running out of me. I tried to make it stop but I couldn't make it stop.

    My sister experienced all of this too when she was perimenopausal.

    I have heard that these are all common menopausal symptoms.

    You're not alone. Take care.

      Hi Fairywen, plenty thanks no I haven't... I think I have to go and check to ensure nothing is not contributing my frequent urination. My urination begins when I drink water because if I don't drink no wee.
