Constantly need the toilet at night

[Drumstick38]

Does anybody else have this problem? I've had it on and off for a couple of years now.
In the hour that I'm going to bed (anywhere between 10pm and midnight) I can go to the toilet around 5 times. I'll go and then within a few minutes I can feel it creeping up on me again.

Always wake up in the night at least once too for the toilet.
I tried to watch a film last night but couldn't relax because of it.
I've already had a blood test for it at the Drs and they ruled out diabetes etc
Does anybody have any other ideas? Anything that could help alleviate it? It's really disturbing my sleep and so uncomfortable.
I'm 30 if that helps.

Are your feet a or ankles swollen? Have the GP check your lymphatic system. Lymph can build up during the day and drain at night when you are lying down.

If you don't drink enough the concentrated urine can irritate the bladder, so it's getting the middle ground.

I get it too. I think it's habit/anxiety, as soon as I get it into my head that I might need the loo, I need to get up and go or I can't get to sleep.

Oh God, this is so me!

I did it this morning. Got it in my head that I needed a wee and couldn't get back to sleep or settle down until I went. I did need to go but I wasn't desperate!

Interstitial cystitis caused this and I use amitriptyline for it-helps with the frequency and helps me sleep
