Stop Frequent Urination, not caused by Diabetes or Prostate? 2
Nov 11, 2009 | Frequent Urination Sign Diabetes
Hi there, I am a male in my late twenties, early thirties who (mostly during the night) has to use the bathroom quite a bit. It disturbs my sleep and even though I’m down for about 8-10 hours, I still feel miserable when I get up. I have gone to the doctor and been cleared from having diabetes and from having anything wrong with my prostate or even a UTI.
It isn’t an unstoppable urge to go and I certainly have control of my bladder, but it’s almost like a discomfort that won’t go away until I pee… and sometimes it’s the smallest amount that makes me get up in the middle of the night – almost not worth it.
I have heard of herbal things you can take (like green tea extract or something) to help with this problem… is this true? Anyone have any non-medical treatments?
Thanks!
Do Keigel (pronounced kee-gal) exercises to help this. Pinch the muscle that you would use to stop the flow if you were actually peeing (try it once when you’re at the toilet) and hold it for 10 seconds. Do this 10 or so times every day – while you’re sitting in the car, or while you’re at your desk working… wherever.
Increasing the muscular control there will alleviate the pressure that your bladder puts on that muscle, which is what makes you feel like you have to go. As an added bonus, it will help give you more control and power in your sexual function.
