Pissing throughout the night 😡

[Jon Vander Van Assche]

So I’ve been drinking around 2 gallons a day and every 2 hours I wake up to piss, gad damn this sucks, anyone else go through this??

According to my scientific studies Van, Its definitely the good looks.

Well drinking that much water what do you expect? It has to go somewhere doesn’t it, you could have the healthiest bladder in the world I don’t think it would matter much. Try some saw palmetto I suppose....

Oh and this ain’t Grindr bro bro....

joking joking

 

[heavyhitter]

Oh my god I wake up 3-5 times nightly to piss. A lot of that is related to my blood pressure meds, but I’ve woken up at least twice nightly to pew ever since childhood and it’s so aggravating

 

[Jon Vander Van Assche]

Im
Only drinking 2 gallons because I’m prepping, before this prep I would sleep 8 hours like a baby, I miss it haha

 

[FrancisK]

You know what i used to do that myself actually, dutasteride put an end to it....

I have it too. It could be your prostate is swollen up some. Happens with age but androgens can do that too. Mine is enlarged and I take a drug called Flomax which helps some.

It’s just water intake, sucks but seems to be part of the process

Happens every prep like clockwork... Once the carbs go down and the water goes up.

Have you considered not drinking two gallons a day? At least reduce water intake prior to bedtime. There's no health benefit from excessive fluid intake. Not getting proper sleep, on the other hand, will have a negative effect on your health. You also won't be less dry on show day if you drink 1.5 instead of 2 gallons at this stage.

Maybe its the Tren... LOL....just trippin'.... is this your 1st time competing?

ive had this problem for years , 3-5x a night. my liquid intake probably isnt what it should be.

going to give this a try.

Add more salt to all your meals, don't drink water 2 hours before bed, you don't need 2 gallons of water until your peak week.

Insomnia caused by prep can make you piss more at night, but this is part of the process.

Small volumes of urination or large volumes of urination can help in differentiating if there may be an underlying issue with undiagnosed sleep apnea.

If it's prostate related from increased androgens on prep can try 5-10mg cialis daily, takes a week or two to notice effects but pretty much side effect free and works pretty well for me and others. Commonly prescribed to older gents too.

 

[Dadbod3000]

I get up 2-3 times a night welcome to getting older

Flomax is nice because you aren't messing with your dht.

A lot of good advice here. My only contribution, failing any 'medical' issues, is the
extreme water consumption and timing is probably the culprit otherwise why would
it be mentioned now? Coincidental? Again, a lot of good advise, things to think about,
to help mitigate this.

I get up 2-3 times a night welcome to getting older

I'm 65 and I never have to get up at night to piss. And I drink a lot of water, a liter
with dinner for instance and much during the day . . . but not 2 gallons total though.
Honestly can't see the need for that much now (or ever?) but hey, what do I know,
I have never myself preped for a show. Personally, I only drink when thirsty.

(BTH, this man Dadbod3000, does not have a Dad bod.)

Very true. Been proven to be a very effective prophylactic. Tough to get insurance to pay for it as it is considered an ED drug but can be covered if you play the 'word game' with your urologist.

5mg-30 day Rx of Tadalafil (generic Cialis) is roughly $15-17 through GoodRx. I don't even bother to try to have my physician manipulate verbage.

Sounds like Vander's issue is due to increased water consumption. Being in your 40s or older means that prostate problems may be starting or likely to in the next decade. Very common in all men and more likely in enhanced bodybuilders.

I think its genetic too. My father and uncle both had problems.
