Piss all night...

[recovery25!!]

Hey guys... I'm 44 years old, in great health generally speaking no high BP etc labs are great. However I get up to pee around four times a night , I'm thinking maybe prostate or bladder issues? It's not a weak stream but isn't super strong either... Just started a try dose test , what do u guys think of ment vs test, or any other compounds u recommend ?thank you

Welcome to the show brotha. Alot of factors involved my friend. Height, weight, training history, any cycle history......and your goals?

 

[bigbumpkin2003]

Age…. Just make sure to check prostate if you have trouble completely emptying

 

[Reno911]

If PSA in check and there's no BPH then it sounds like you need a CPAP.

Hope u find a resolution, please pass it on here if u do. Similar stats to urself, no underlying health issues. Bloods always good.

Have had same problem for a long time, came on me in mid-late teens (mid 40s now), long long before i ever touched AS. 4 times a night is a good night for me, 7-8 is average for myself. Sound sleep obviously a problem.

Have been to multiple urologists over the yrs, multiple bloods done, standard flow and urology tests, 2-3 bladder enlarging procedures with minimal success, botox injected into bladder to numb area, which only made problem much worse until it wore off after a few months, combos of every overactive bladder med available, nothing sinister ever detected by any doctor. AS doesn't make it any worse or better for me. On or off, the problem is always the same, have tried every version of myself over the last close to 30yrs since it began. Still have the problem, hasn't worsened in that time but certainly hasn't improved either.

One urologist suggested it might be psychosomatic, others disagreed, to exhaust all avenues, went to mental health specialists, they didn't believe that was the issue. Referred onto a different urologist, different meds, no improvement.

Back to GP, sent back to different urologist again, referred onto a sleep specialist, currently awaiting a call up to a sleep clinic to see if anything shows up. Have been examined for restless leg syndrome before with a stay in hospital, they determined i didn't have it.

Only thing that eases it is an extremely limited fluid intake (read allow myself to get dehydrated), which isn't feasible for someone doing 20-25 hrs in gym each wk between weights and other disciplines. Lifting weights isn't my main physical activity. Have always been that active.

Milk, whey protein, carbonated drinks, caffeine alcohol, fruit juices all massively exasperate it, use vegan protein instead of whey which doesn't aggravate the problem as much as whey. Dairy and sugar free carbonated drinks I find particularly harsh. Pass about 1L per night when in bed.

Lying flat in bed significantly eases it, turning from side to side provokes an urgency to urinate almost immediately. Unfortunately a skill I've never mastered is the ability to fully sleep on my back, as soon as I get into a deeper sleep I twist and turn and the urgency to urinate snaps me back into to waking up.

For myself, surgeries and meds haven't helped, I've just become uncomfortably accustomed to it. But if u find a solution then please share, I really do understand how it can negatively effect quality of life. Who knows, maybe 1 of the 150k odd members here will read this and recognise the problem having experienced it themselves along with having previously found a solution.

I am pissing 3-4x per night. Fall right back asleep though. 56 years old. PSA test always under 1.0 usually 0.6-0.8

 

[Celt123456]

I can't recall my medical test stats off the top of my head or which bloods and tests were done each time but every urologist I've seen were fully aware of any other medications, possible interactions or side effects. Each time, nothing stood out as abnormal.

Have you got any recent bloodwork done? If so have you noticed a steady increase over time of RBC, hemoocrit, hemoglobin, etc. These are indicators of untreated sleep apnea. Sleep apnea will have you up several times a night.

The most recent doctor I've seen has suggested possible sleep apnea, he has me scheduled for a sleep clinic in a few months time. I was referred to him from a consultant urologist i saw earlier in the year.

Quit f’ing around and go see a urologist.

I am 65 years old and was in bed for over 8 hours last night and never got up to pee. That is normal for me. Can't remember ever waking up to pee in my lifetime. I know many my age that are the same. I rehydrate in the mornings, maintenance drink water in the afternoons and tapper down in the evenings. My PSA is up to .7 these days was .4 30 years ago. I try to take in plenty of nutrition and clear my prostate out regularly as i have done for decades.

You been through the wringer. I feel for you.

Have you been to a ‘teaching’ hospital? They tend to, in my opinion, have some of the best docs when all else fails. That has always been my Plan B, hasn’t failed me yet.

I sincerely hope you get this sorted.

50% of men by 50 have an enlarged prostate, BPH. Just comes with age I'm afraid. You're not too far off.
As Alfresco has already wisely suggested, make an appointment to see a urologist. PSA isn't the best indicator.
The old finger (make sure your urologist has long skinny fingers) exam is still the gold standard. He'll be feeling
for any abnormal bumps. It should be smooth all around. More than likely he'll prescribe something like Flomax
or Terazosin. If you're on PEDs like Masteron, Primo etc. they're likely contributing to the problem.

 

[KingOfSushi]

How much water do you drink

 

[control]

If you're waking up to piss and not really pissing a lot when you piss, that is an indication that you have an enlarged prostate. It's the same if you piss often throughout the day and not much comes out. The prostate gets enlarged and puts pressure on your bladder, which makes it feel like you have to piss when there isn't really that much piss in your bladder.

However, if you're waking up often to piss and actually pissing a lot when you go piss, then that could be more of a water retention issue. Basically, you're holding a lot of the fluid you drink during the day, and then at night you're pissing it out.

The other factor, as someone else mentioned, is how deeply you sleep. If you're sleeping deeply, you won't wake up to piss unless you really have to piss. If you have sleep apnea or some other sleep issue, then even a slight urge to piss will wake you up. Lot's of people get on CPAP and say they don't wake up to piss as much (or at all).

They can also do an ultrasound. Not painful. They can also put a scope up your dick to check out your prostate and bladder. [Am sure Celt had that done. If he didn’t his doctor’s are guilty of outright stupidity and or criminal malpractice (my opinion).]

same for me, usually get up every hour to pee.
the issue for me is easy to explain: i have to take loop diuretics due to heart condition AND a big part of my fluid intake is in the evening because this is when i am training. I usually work from 8am to 5pm, then drive to the gym, start working out by 5:30pm and end by 7pm. during and after training i drink alot and this is why i pee at night

Most common cause for someone at that age with a history of using AAS is going to be BPH, aka fat prostate. Dutasteride can shrink it after 6 months and in my experiences, less side effects than finasteride when used at twice weekly 0.5 mg .
