I have been having the problem of running back and forth to the bathroom to pee from 4 to 5 times at night. I've had a test done where the doctor ran some water in my penis while looking through this camera. I was unable to contain the water so they will be doing this other test in order to decide what they will do. Doses anybody else get up as many times to Pee?

    Yes, tonight's count was 14 times. I am exhausted. My advice would be wait until all the results are in. Meantime keep your fluids up as that will help to keep bacteria under control. Secondly, keep a diary of what and how much you drink and pee diary. (Input and output). Also any physical problems you notice. All of which can guide medical people of what to do next. Try not to worry, these days they have many things they can do to help people with medical issues. I have had urological issues for 30 years but i am not a dr so please do follow whatever they have said and good luck with the tests.

      Hi Pammi43, when you say bacterial buildup do you mean at night if one does not drink enough water they will have bacterial buildup in the urine. I think I may be experiencing that. At Neiden in the morning my urine has a strong smell and it is more yellow. Can that be a problem? I am new to urinary problems. The only problem with drinking a lot of water is that one would get up a lot in the night. That is why I don't drink much at night however I may have bacteria buildup,

    Yes this is what i mean. Smell and darkened urine is an indication of lack of fluid intake. However each person is different and if that works for you then great.

    Yes i did for the last 15 years. It started with an overactive blood which was diagnosed by the urologist. Then BP medication which increased the urgency. I am off the medication but still go about 4 times a night. I know its annoying but im use to it.

    I go to toilet every three to four times per night But I found out that If you go to bed with woolen socks on feet and put another blank on your bed so you are warm that should stop u peeing down to 5 hrs apart.And don't drink any fluids after 7 pm at night. It's like when you are out in the cold air u are inclined to pee more if u are cold  So give it ago what have you to lose

    .good luck
