| Embarrassing Question, but do you know.... ...what it means when you ALWAYS have to go "pee"??? I am just getting frustrating with my doctor. I went in several months ago because every month, they were treating me for UTI's....this last time, I was like "why do I keep getting them and why do I get up so much at night to go?".... So, urine test come back clean (no UTI, which is weird because I had all the painful symptoms)....bloodwork come back wonderful (checked liver, kidney, diabetes, etc). Next, was an ultrasound to measure my bladder - scan done on full bladder than immediately right after it was emptied Haven't heard back from that yet (almost two weeks!!!) They wanted to do that to see if urine was being left after being "emptied" and if so, then it might need to be dilated?! I just don't understand what is going on....All I drink is water or Crystal Light or Green Tea....no milk, no "cokes", etc. I do drink water with dinner and I will have water between dinner and bedtime (because I am always thirsty). Just the getting up several times at night to go is really bothering me. Sorry for the WAY off embarrassing topic....just hoping that maybe someone has gone thru the same thing or might know something! THANKS!

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I pee a lot too and get up at night. Try not to drink much after 8 PM, and also make sure you exercise everyday. When the body is tired, you sleep better and don't wake up to go to the bathroom, but if the body is not tired is like when you are awake and you have to go to the bathroom every 1-2 hours. |

| I believe this is what the pharmaceutical companies call an "overactive bladder". There is medication to help you not need to go as much. Unfortunately, I am all too familiar with very frequent UTI's. I also go lots and usually get up at least once in the night to go. I have also been told it gets worse with age !!! At least maybe it will help to know you're not alone....

| My mom has it. I think her bladder got weak or something like that and she has to take a pill every day. You'll be ok.

Lovin' 2 Girls Donating Member | Could be just an overactive bladder. Hopefully, that's the case, and that can be treated. Quote:

| I understand your frustrations not sure if this could be the same thing or not but growing up I suffered from Reflux of the bladder, which affected both my bladder and kidneys. I always had the urge to pee and would wet my pants a lot. My parents took me to a urologist and that's what they found out. Urine was backing up from my bladder into my kidney's causing UTI's, bladder infections and yeast infection like symptoms. (which is not something normal for a 6 year old little girl). I was also on Bactrim almost every day for 6 years. I also had to have ultrasounds done on my kidneys and bladder and also had thsi cathater test which they pump your bladder full of fluid and a dye and then take pictures when it's emptied. Painful. Anyway when I was 9 I had corrective surgery and haven't had a problem since. It's something that is usually found in childhood but you might want to do some research on it. Because you could be experiencing this. Quote:

| I have an over active bladder and you just described my life before Detrol LA (medication). I used to think I was having UTIs all the time, but wasn't. There is another issue associated with over-active bladder and that is ulcers in the bladder. The ulcers get inflamed when you eat acidic food, like tomatoes or oranges. Caffine (which green tea has) will make the over-active part worse, too. When I got on Detrol LA, it was like a god-send. My bladder is no longer in the forefront of my mind. I feel normal again.

My MIL use to have this done, but no, they do the ultrasound...quick, easy and painless. WHEW!! THANK goodness!! I have had all of those symptoms too...they put me and DH both on some potent yeast pill (not to be gross) because I kept having these every month too. The pill, you normally just take one and you are good...we both had to take three of them! So far, so good with that! Wow...you went thru a lot...I am glad you haven't had any further problems!

| In my office we call that PREGNANT!!! I'm only teasing-I'm really sorry that you're having trouble, and I hope the doctors can help you to find something that will make you feel better. Best wishes to you!
