frequentt urination at night

[novaman]

I've been on TRT now for 2 years and am noticing an increase in having to urinate. This is especially noticeable at night as I have to wake up to go to the bathroom. In the past I might wake up once to urinate but now it is regularly twice a night, sometimes more. I'm not sure if this is a natural part of aging (I'm almost 53) or if it is something else. Any help would be appreciated

if you havent, good idea to go get prostate checked. i pee 1-3 times a night most of my life. try not to drink too much water right before bed.

Prostate already checked out at last physical few months back, PSA unchanged for 3 years.

Huh , well you know what will help, cialis. Low dose daily cialis. Even though your prostate numbers are ok (which is great) it still may be enlarged. As a result frequent urination is a symptom. Low dose daily cislis treats the symptoms of BPA (benign prostetic hyperplasia). 5mg/day should do the trick. Maybe even 5mg eod. Give it a try.

I know cialis works, but was curious why.

Why what? Why cialis works or why the frequent urination or why you are using 2 different user names here on the forum? lol

i would personally get both your prostate and your fasting glucose checked.. those would be the two main concerns

You might have sleep apnea and you think you're waking up because you have to urinate.

Outstanding point and thats something everyone should take note of. One of the biggest signs of diabetes is frequent urination guys.

yeah had that checked as well. I was borderline high which surprised me.

Ooooh, another good one to look into. I used to wake up from the apnea, and as my bladder was full, I'd go urinate as I was already awake. You can pick up a glucose meter for cheap to see how that's going if a blood test for an A1C is going to be awhile. Beyond 120mg/dL two hours after eating would be something I'd get in touch with a doctor over. Obviously, dietary changes would be optimal if this is the case, but catching it early is so important.

Have you had an adh test?

Have you had an adh test?

Ooh, ooh! From diabetes INSIPIDUS! Sorry, I just like saying that out loud lol, sounds so nasty and scary - like a Darth guy hanging out in your kidneys.

I've been checked for sleep apnea, also had a blood test with my physical 3 months ago and the glucose level was normal. My frequent urination at night is really affecting my sleep, but last night was great- only woke up once.

I'm going to schedule an appointment with a urologist to find out what's going on.
