bladder issues!

if you drink a lot of water, you go pee! Simple as that!

Just drink it early in the day and start slowing down at night so you don't wake up.

Also, I don't know if it is true or not, but it seems like I read something recently about your body can only absorb so much water per hour, so if you drink a gallon in 10 minutes, it is just going to pass through, but if you drink it over a few hours, you absorb more of it... Might look into it, my memory is a little foggy this morning!

Could you be pregnant? With my first pregnancy I was up to pee several times during the night, from quite early on.

It might be worth having a consultation with a urologist to rule out overactive bladder, which can be treated. But it could just be the simple fact of: you drink more, you pee more. If the latter is the case, your body will eventually adapt and you won't necessarily be going as much.

(I myself have MS and have neurogenic bladder issues, including something similar to overactive bladder, so I need to see my neurologist and urologist regularly to try to keep everything under control.)

The more you drinkle the more you tinkle..

Seriously just as some one else said drinkless as the day winds to a close and pee before bed...


Sometimes I have nightmares about peeing ( I drink around 120oz of water a day and pee a lot ) and wake up having to pee. Since I turned my liquid intake down to about 8oz around dinner time and sip on a little water in the evenings I am good to go..

Be Right back have to go pee now.

I know the feeling! I've always had bladder issues. I think mine is smaller than most people's. I can't sit down to a meal, leave the house or go to bed without peeing first. I wake up several times during the night. and it makes exercising for extended periods very uncomfortable. So frustrating!

Most likely it is just be the extra water, but if you are concerned, see your doctor. Frequent urination is a symptom of many things, diabetes, pregnancy, bladder infection, kidney disease, interstitial cystitis (my brother had this)...etc.

More water equals more peeing O_O

As for getting up at night, you know how most people with small kids limit their drinking after a certain time of day? Try doing that. Stop drinking a couple hours before bedtime.

it's not a bladder issue though.......

I really should log how much I pee for how much I drink. But yeah, couple times an hour's about right. It's the cost of drinking this much. I drink between 32 and 64 ounces of water every hour most days. Generally I pee, refill my water glass, and go back to the computer, and usually before I sit down again I do a yoga pose or some basic exercises. I feel much better if I drink a lot of water, so I drink.

I WOULD like to go to the doctor and see if I have some (more) hormonal issues, but this is America, and these things cost money up front.

I try my hardest to get my first 8 glasses of water in before noon. Then I sip on water through out the rest of the day. I still usually get up once to go for a pee, or at least have to go VERY bad in the morning, but its better than drinking so much water later in the day where I am up all night peeing.

Welcome to my world! I've had bladder problems my whole life. Some people have what is called an irritable bladder, which is when your bladder spasms making it feel like you have to pee sooooooooo bad!!! And it when you go it's like next to nothing and you know your bladder wasn't full to begin with. It also tends to make it so you have to pee at night a lot.

Here is how I deal with my issues. I did some research and found out that caffeine and alcohol make it worse. I did an experiment and found out it was totally true for me! So I don't drink more then 1 cup of caffeinated coffee a day, and try to only have decaf in the morning so that I don't get started badly because once that stupid bladder starts to spasm it goes all day and peeing ever half hour is a waste of time.

I also don't drink much of anything after 7pm. If I am super super thirsty I'll have a quarter of a cup of water but that's it. I usually wake up super super thirsty, but it lets me sleep through the night!

Also, contrary to what you might think the more I drink, the less it happens. I don't know why, but that's the way it is. Its like it keeps the bladder used to having something in it so its not such a spaz.

Also, there are medications available for bladder spasm, but I don't know anything about them

Sounds like you might not be completely voiding. I had the same issues for 3 years now. I had to go all the time, and it hurt like mad until I did. I now take a supplement that seems to help (GNC Prostate Health), but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work for women (your plumbing is very different). For me, I just need to avoid sugary drinks and caffeinated drinks and my bladder works fine, no supplement needed. Even fruit juice causes me problems.
