Q: Driving My Girlfriend Nuts Peeing At Night
asked by: jobw on June 6th, 2004

Howdy. I am a healthy active 32 yo male.
I more often than not I wake once during the night to urinate.
I never thought of this as a problem but its driving my girlfriend nuts as she wakes up every time and because she doesn't sleep that well, it adds stress to our relationship.
I was wondering if there was a way that I could increase the "endurance" of my bladder. When I go to a bar and drink I seem to pee more than my peers also (this is not a problem just an observation). I once had a kidney stone but don't think this altered my bladder endurance (another possibly relevant observation).
Any suggestions would be much appreciated
cheers

You might try to slow down on liquids prior to bedtime, I know I can't drink much after 4:p.M. Or I am up a lot at night. Have you had a diabetic test, this is one of the first signs.
Sincerely,
sandy

If all tests with your doctor are clear (ie. Sandy's diabetes idea) then the issue may just be that you have a small bladder. This may sound funny but the cure is to strech it. When you're at home (and running distance to a bathroom) try and 'hold it' as long as you possibly can. Don't laugh, but this is the reccomended cure for kids who wet the bed. It "works" the muscles of the bladder and causes them to strech. And it's worth a try to save your relationship. Alternately, get a seperate bedroom from your girlfriend Laughing
