Cannot stop peeing!

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Don’t seem to be drinking a lot more but I’m up for the toilet 3 times a night and around every hour during the day!

Could you have a UTI?

I don’t want to worry you but I’m sure that is one of the symptoms of diabetes.

This was one of the first signs I had diabetes.

Hokeypokeyz · 29/12/2023 17:22

@Snoopysimaginaryfriend I suppose I could have but there’s no pain when peeing, and it’s full stream rather than little dribbles.

I haven’t had any other symptoms of diabetes but I’ll definitely nip to a chemist to get a check

It is a sign of diabetes so def get checked out but it usually goes with drinking more and loosing weight and feeling tired.

Do you have bubbles in your wee?

Has your sugar in take rapidly increased?

Hokeypokeyz · 29/12/2023 17:36

I don’t think so, no.

Im like this and its not diabetes. Sometimes its worse than others.

The cold makes it worse, a lot worse

Are you in peri menopause?

Eating more veg or salad (presumably not at this time of year)?

I have this sometimes for a few weeks every few years. I got checked for a UTI once - nothing. I don’t have diabetes. I actually haven’t eaten sugar in two years. Last time it happened was over the summer and I actually found that drinking more water than usual sorted it in a couple of days.

I did actually ask a nurse once who said it wasn’t uncommon and could be hormonal.

There is also Diabetes Insipidus which caused you to wee a lot but you would also have increased thirst. Best to see the GP as it could be several causes.

I don’t think I’m peri menopausal- I’m 32 but suppose it wouldn’t be impossible?

Could you be pregnant? That makes you need to pee more even from the beginning of pregnancy

Hokeypokeyz · 29/12/2023 17:57

@2under2in2024 definitely not! Husband has had the snip 😂

Some teas can do that! When I've tried to reduce my caffeine intake and switched to herbal tea instead, that was such a piss show 😂Lemongrass and ginger tea was delicious, but lemongrass is a diuretic. So is fennel, juniper berry, dandelion root and many other plants and herbs. Or otherwise - if you're having too much caffeine all of a sudden (coffee, tea, Diet Coke even) - that can make you go more.

Check your blood pressure too - higher BP can correlate with increased peeing especially at night.
