Stop Frequent Urination, not caused by Diabetes or Prostate?


Hi there, I am a male in my late twenties, early thirties who (mostly during the night) has to use the bathroom quite a bit. It disturbs my sleep and even though I'm down for about 8-10 hours, I still feel miserable when I get up. I have gone to the doctor and been cleared from having diabetes and from having anything wrong with my prostate or even a UTI.

It isn't an unstoppable urge to go and I certainly have control of my bladder, but it's almost like a discomfort that won't go away until I pee... and sometimes it's the smallest amount that makes me get up in the middle of the night - almost not worth it.

I have heard of herbal things you can take (like green tea extract or something) to help with this problem... is this true? Anyone have any non-medical treatments?

Thanks!

Do Keigel (pronounced kee-gal) exercises to help this. Pinch the muscle that you would use to stop the flow if you were actually peeing (try it once when you鈥檙e at the toilet) and hold it for 10 seconds. Do this 10 or so times every day 鈥?while you鈥檙e sitting in the car, or while you鈥檙e at your desk working鈥?wherever.

Increasing the muscular control there will alleviate the pressure that your bladder puts on that muscle, which is what makes you feel like you have to go. As an added bonus, it will help give you more control and power in your sexual function.

There is pressure on your bladder. But since you say the doc has cleared you of any prostate problem, something else is exerting pressure on your bladder, which is inducing the need to pee frequently.

Get a second opinion as this sounds strange. But as a short term measure, try not to drink too much fluids close to bed time. At least you'll be able to get a good night's rest.

Herbalism may prescribe goji berries or saw palmetto. But get the problem checked and these natural food can prevent recurrence.

Good luck.
