Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / August 2006Nighttime urination
Are there any suggestions to reduce nighttime urination? I have to get up about every two hours. I take saw palmetto and tried Flomax for two weeks and nothing seems to help. I had seed implants for PC about six years ago and this condition is not new. Sleepily, ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') When you figure it out will you let us know? Hubby is still getting up multiple times through the night. Seed implants 4 years ago. Bev Are there any suggestions to reduce nighttime urination? I have to get up about every two hours.

I oscillate between 1 and 2 hrs dependent on unknown circumstances. I had HDRB 11 months ago and a TURP to ream it out just 7 wks ago. I don't need Flomax any more. The Uro Surgeon said the Nocturia would persist for about 6 months with the intervals reducing, but given my age (71), he said I'd be up 2-3 times a night anyway at best. Hint: Use a jug by the bed. Saves extra trips to the toilet =(bathroom - US.) I'm not so tired now and have gone back to work this week to see if I can cope. -- Reader to complete... -- Please reply to this ng as my email adress is fake: -- Regards -- CC Glad to hear you've gone back to work. Sounds like you are feeling much better. Several years ago a friend and her husband went to Naples, Italy and they insisted on a room with a private bathroom. Oh, they got one. It was a beautiful bath. The toilet and sink (WC) were down the hall. LOL Bev > >Are there any suggestions to reduce nighttime urination? I have to get > >up about every two hours.

We use toilet and bathroom (and restroom, john, head and toidy) pretty much interchangably. Almost all American speak multiple languages: Candadian, English, Australian and American. In the case of American, some speak it in all the dialects. > I'm not so tired now and have gone back to work this week to see if I > can cope. That is some great news, CC Best way is to limit fluid intake after 6 P.M. Also keep a liter urinal on my bedside table to avoid injury gong to bathroom half asleep. Bingo!! This works for me, too. It's rather difficult to remember not to drink anything when you are "out on the town", but the good news is that because of RP - I'm able to be "out on the town" not "in the ground"...

I'll admit that I have been "lurking" less and less with the feeling that "they got the bastard" and that I know you regular posters are helping the newbies in "this club nobody wanted to join." But, the disease and this group are never very far from my thoughts... Please accept my continued appreciation for the time and effort you and the other contributors do for this group.

PMOORE? Aren't we related? ;-) I.P. Freely A lot "moore", lately..... (lol) Not that I especially like "hanging out" there - but, when the unfortunate need to visit a busy public restroom happens to me, and I have to listen to the old guys around me "straining" to get a flow of any kind going - I do have an overwhelming urge to hand them a card with "alt.support.cancer.prostate" written on it... As, I attempt to power spray the enamel off of my stall... (lol) (I'm afrand they'd come back with how great their cancer ridden sex life is, though... (lol) Paul I tried a couple of things. First, I eliminated all liquids from 5 PM onward except for a 2 ounce glass of red wine. I also changed my salad to lunch time. I still had to get up twice every night. ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') On Mon, 31 Jul 2006 19:31:52 -0400, MIKE--- wrote (in article <11567-44CE92E8-545@storefull-3253.bay.webtv.net>): > I tried a couple of things.

It has worked for me. It's quite easy once you get over the "Yuck Factor". SignatureGlowing in the Dark > Are there any suggestions to reduce nighttime urination?

I guess that's the way it is as you get older. Too bad, it wasn't that way when my wife and I were young, sex at 2 am and 4 am would have been great! j. Would have been? It was great!

Works for me. SignatureGlowing in the Dark |
