At night, i keep going a lot? Serious health prob?

Question

Well lately at night, i would keep on going and going. It is not between hours, it is between minutes. Lets say i got at 11:20. When i go on bed for 5 ~ 10 minutes, i gotta go up and use the restroom again, and after 4 ~ 6 trips, i can tired so i sleep right away. I don't know if this is serious, and i think it might be related to my insomnia.

Answer 1

hey mate! err i thought id better reply to your question like u did to mine! hows ur teeth going? did you get your braces off?.. oh anyway instead of making this question a chat room ill answer your 'serious' question-

umm this use to happen a lot to me and it annoying the poo out of my family. its weird i know, you 'go' then you have to 'go' again straight after you get back into bed. its crazy man!! but i guess i grow out of it because im 15 now. dont worry i cant stay like that forever.. but if so maybe you could sleep on the potty?? ;]

Answer 2

go to the doctor, describe your symptoms, ask for a prostate exam.

It's only recently, so even a bad-case scenario won't be too bad mate. worst comes to worse you may have a growth or something pushing on something in your body and you'll need some surgery.

But it's early days, don't play the big man and let it slide. Go to the doctor now.

oh right, you're a kid! woo! very unlikely that it's a tumour or cancer, if it was a symptom of your insomnia, then it would go like this- you aren't passing urine, or very very little- you are drinking liquids and water and going to the toilet is simply what is called an expression of your insomnia- in other words, you are restless and keep getting up- the cure for this is to manage your insomnia better- you aren't supposed to be in bed unless you are tired- don't just go to bed because it's bed time- go to bed because you are tired and fall asleep within 15 minutes or get back up! Lying in bed awake- all night, is a really really bad habit for an insomniac and it will never ever ever go away as long as you live if that's what you do, if you can't sleep you need to be working on something- use the time to read, write and excercise- you will be tired the next day- but you'll have done all your schoolwork the night before anyway- and you were going to be tired anyway- the result of this is a) you'll exhaust yourself into a normal sleeping pattern after some time or b) you'll be an insomniac- but you'll be much better at being one and a whole lot more fulfilled and happy.

The flip side to this is that you are passing urine, you are feeling the need to go down under your diaphragm, you don't drink excessively and you have a medical condition that has something to do with your bladder playing up when your body tries to relax- see a doctor.
