About 7 years ago I went to see an Urologist, had tests done, measuring quantity and frequency of urination etc...He gave me some medication that's more for incontinence, which I don't have, used it for a while, no effect (only side effects lol), then stopped.
I feel the need very frequently but I think I learned to live with it (and somehow hope that some day it will go away). It's like, when I think about if I need to pee, 99% I feel I need to. If I don't think about it's better.
It's considerably worse before some event or something when I know I won't be able to go. Also before something stressful or meaningful.
Also when I go to bed, then it's the worst, I need to go very shortly before I'll fall asleep, otherwise I'll go again and again.
Anyway, as I said above, I've learned to accept this and what helps me is telling myself that whatever happens, I will find a solution (or a toilet )...
You've just described my situation exactly (except I chickened out of the examination at the urologist). My doctor gave me some medication which only gave me side effects as well so stopped taking those. Pelvic floor physiotherapy helped a little.
If I can't sleep, I'll have to pee several times. Long bus journeys are a nightmare
Thanks for this!
