Re: Bathroom Issues.... again!

May 7, 2011

I would cut off fluids about 2 hrs before going to bed and see how that

works (and maybe start restricting them 2 hrs before that - just to be sure

that you should be pretty empty by the time you go to bed). But these are

just my ideas - didn't look anything up. How frequent did you go when

everything was normal? If it was every 4 hours (the typical person goes

every 4-6 hrs), then I would do the above. If it was six hrs, then I would

restrict 6 before bed and cut fluids 3 hrs before bed. Like I said, I

didn't look anything up, there may actually be a more precise medical

recommendation if anyone knows.

If you are still having problems, then I would contact your urologist and

see what he/she says. If the symptoms are still there even with fluid

restriction, then it sounds like a new urodynamic study would be in order to

see if it is neurogenic bladder.

Probably every 4-6 hours or so. Which seems normal to me. I will try a 2-3 hour

cut off.The urodynamic study killed me last time
