any ideas please after many years...?
i am very fit healthy male aged 45.
In 1990 (18 yrs) I suddenly aquired a sensitive bladder... i.e. when lyin down to go to sleep i get a nagging ache in my scrotum that tells my brain i need to empty my bladder. when i then urinate it is only a very small amount but my bladder feels empty and i can go to sleep.. this occurrs sometimes 10 times a night. I also get the feeling in the afternoon and evening but it is not bothersome that i need to urinate immediately. i only have the problem when im tryin to sleep. i can hold it in but is obviously uncomfotable.
ive had a few prostrate checks, ostoscopy and bladder biopsies over the years but they have not shown any problems. I also had my bladder stretched which was futile and would not havre it done again. ive seen a few specialists.
actually over the years ive adapted to the problem and manage to sleep around my toilet visits.
sometimes though...LIKE NOW THAT I HAVE A BAD COLD OR AM STRESSED .. the problem is very difficult to live with.
today the consultant gave me tablets called desmopressin acetate. i understand they reduce urine amounts. will try but cant see them working well.
Any new ideas PLease help.
