For over a year now, I've been peeing very frequently, 30-40 times a day, usually every 20 minutes but at random times I will have to pee every 3-5 minutes for at least an hour. I never know when it's going to happen or what's going to "trigger" it but when it happens I absolutely cannot hold it. I've seen my doctor and a specialist, I've done a urine test, blood test, kidney ultrasound, bladder ultrasound, scope, everything has come back normal, and the doctor and the specialist both don't know why this is happening let alone what to do about it. I don't drink a lot of fluids whatsoever. I have seen some other people report a similar problem and think that it may be due to anxiety or stress, my doctor gave me a small dose of anxiety pills but it didn't seem to work, not sure if I should go back and try asking for a higher dose

    My just started. I had blood in my urine like a year ago which I feel wasn’t treated properly. Year on it was still there without being noticed. Now I have received a proper treatment but recently started having so much urge to urine every 5 mins is my issue at the moment. I feel this problem most like is a bacteria or virus not treatable or traceable at the moment.

      I am not on any medication. Although my consultant suggested that I take solifenancin 5mg but I didn’t accept it due to what he described as possible side effect. But I did a kidney, prostate and bladder examination all came back normal

      I take vesicare and amitriptyline at night I find it really helps me the worse side effect is a very dry mouth, I also have caffeine free tea. How do you manage your daily routine needing the loo so much? Gill

      I read online and have tried so many natural remedies from Holland and Barrett such as cranberry pills, marshmallow, Uva Ursi, pumpkin seed oil and Quercetin plus vitamin C.  In all I felt some relief using the last two. At the moment I am taking it and  I do sleep well at night ( using the toilet  twice and rarely thrice ) and reduce my visits to the toilet greatly during the day although some days are horrible. I have started to do some bladder training to help me as well ie hold back my wee for sometime before going to the toilet. I will see my consultant again soon.
