Hi Pamela
Your symptoms could indicate one of quite a few problems such as diabetes, but it’s definitely not usual to go five times in the night.
We’d suggest you have a word with your doctor and try and find the underlying problem.
It ought to be curable.

My problem is that I have to spend a penny very often, especially when I am out and even more of a nusience at bed time, I can go as many times as 5 during the night, and I stop drinking after 4pm but it makes no difference, therefore I am dehydrated and tired.

Hi ellen, thanks for getting in touch.
Have a look at this page where if you click on the Find out More button, it will take you to a simple home test which may help identify your problem.

But it doesn’t sound like regular stress incontinence to me. We’re not doctors here, and with your symptoms and given the fact that you’re obviously so worried about it, I’d recommend you go to your doctor and have a chat about it. It may be very easily fixed.

Annie, i found the same, it was at a different hospital but the consultant was not very helpful and was extremely rough and rude. The whole experience was stressful from getting the letter to say to have a full bladder, so i get to the hospital desperate to be seen so i can go to the toilet and one of the nurses noticed my discomfort and asked what was wrong and i explained what the letter had said and she looked at it and said ‘oh this is an old letter, we were meant to get rid of them, yes you can go the toilet’. Then when the consultant examined me he pushed and shoved my stomach around, looked at me said “your quite obese arent you” you need to train your bladder and sent me away. Yes i am overweigh but to say that to someone who has come for help is not acceptable. So i now just try drink very little the day before i go on long journeys and hope for the best.

Hi Anne, sorry to hear about your experience. Sadly it’s all too common for women to be treated that way. That’s why a lot of women prefer to look to help themselves.

We’re not doctors and don’t know the full range of NHS offerings, but our feedback is that the bladder weakness and incontinence help we feature on here does work well for many women.
Stronger pelvic floor and vaginal muscles are often the key to bladder weakness in women.
On the other hand, more serious (but rarer) problems will mean that you do need to see a doctor, and not all consultants are like the one you saw.

Hope this helps
Lesley
