Do you find you need to go to the toilet more frequently? ......

...there is a TV ad running at the moment asking this question. Well, the truth is, yes. This has been happening to me at night time for about a year (long before I saw the ad) and I really didn't know what to make of it. If I had been a bloke, I could have blamed the prostate! But now I'm a bit reluctan to see my GP about it because he may just think it's probably because I have seen the advert. I can go to the loo before I go to bed, watch TV for about 15 mins, fall asleep and half an hour later I wake up needing the loo again! Go back to sleep, and an hour later, I am up again to the loo. And I have seriously cut down on fluids. I don't have any fluids for at least 6 hrs before going to bed. Anyone else a sufferer?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.rowan.....I can understand why a warm bath relaxes smooth bladder muscle and makes you want to pee.......in the old days this method was used for patients with acute retention (it NEVER worked) but we are talking about COLD making you pee more.....which is it? Cold or warmth?.
The business of peripheral vasoconstriction in the cold, is all to do with reducing heat loss rather than making one pee more and the blood just gets distributed to the muscles.....nothing to do with making you pee more.
Mind you .....i can't think of a better explanation.

treetops1 // "I go at least 3 times through the night, I am 64 and just take it as a part of getting old. If it worries you go to the GP."//. At your age I think you too should see your GP and have your prostate checked. I can remember only too well Bob Monkhouse - who left it too late- imploring all men over 60, regardless of having symptoms or not, to have a check. It is a very simple procedure, and can be life saving. It is done routinely in some other countries, but it seems if you want it on the NHS you probably have to ask your GP.
