Do You Get Up Alot At Night To Go To The Bathroom?

[+ Avalon]

I do. Last night was especially bad. I went to bed at 11PM.

 

I got up at

 

12:30AM

1:15AM

2:10AM

2:45AM

3:50AM

4:50AM

5:55AM

 

And I finally got up at 7:10AM

Time to see a urologist, especially if it persists.

Yeah...that’s a little insane.

 

Once or twice a night after 50 is ballpark “normal”.

 

That many times....isn’t.

 

I bet it’s akin to sleep apnea and hazzardous to your daytime health as well.

You should go see a doctor.

[+ Travis69]

I stop all liquids 2 hours before bed and always take the time to try and pee before turning out the lights and falling asleep. Never have a problem.

[+ sync]

Check it out with your physician. Don't panic.

[+ purplekow]

As a physician, way too often. There are many reasons possible, but do not guess, get a medical opinion.

Just as an aside, I placed a urinal in my master bath and night time peeing requires no aim, no muss, no lights. In fact, I do not even have to open my eyes. Consider it if you are redoing your bathroom.

[+ Avalon]

I think my days of seeing a doctor are over. Since I fell in the parking lot back in April and the rescue squad had to come and get me back in my apartment I've not been outside since then. Because of the arthritis in my knees I can barely walk around my apartment. I had thought of a nursing home and made a few inquiries a month ago but no one got back to me.

 

I try not to drink too late in the evening. But being a diabetic I get especially thirsty.

[+ purplekow]

Avalon, two months without leaving the house is too much. I understand that a fall can be frightening, but there are all sorts of help you can get. Please do not give up. There are many areas that have MDs who specialize in making house calls, consider that if nothing else.

And bring your prostate with you -- In the meantime Pickup a Cranberry Extract Vitamin at the Drugstore --- You should also check with you Family Doc --- You may be retaining fluid during the day then letting it out a night when legs are elevated

I pee a lot at night, but it's because I drink 3 - 4 liters of water every day. It's only a few steps to the bathroom, but I minimize the disruption by keeping a pee jar beside the bed.

[liubit]

I pee just before going to bed at night and then first thing in the morning. Night time visits to the bathroom are not in my calendar. At least not yet.

Silly - you empty it every morning.

That's so nasty-nice. I'm guessing if I asked you over, you wouldn't come, knowing what you know.

There's a hormone, vasopressin, that controls how much you pee. Your level might be off. You should definitely see the doc.

I wouldn't come because you're not my type. But if you were my type and I found a PISS JAR next to the bed because you're too lazy to go to the bathroom I wouldn't stay. That's some Hoarders/Silence of the Lambs shit.

[+ glutes]

Maybe twice a night. And I carry a 'stein' in my car in case I have a sudden call whilst traveling.

No you're not my type either. I would only be asking you over for coffee.

No thanks. I hear you piss in the crockery.

For a while I did, but not as often as this.

 

Then I got it under control by drinking as few liquids as possible after dinner.

[+ Funguy]

I have bad nasal allergies so I am a mouth breather - thus dry mouth during the night. Thus, also, the bottle of water on my nightstand and the 3 visits to the bathroom. I accept that because I go right back to sleep but with a wet mouth.
