Nighttime pee!

Hi malnk.

I'm on Tamsulosin too but that is used to relax the bladder and therefore makes it easier to pee. I would have a word with your nurse specialist or GP as you may need to stop taking them. They may give you something else to stop you going so often but remember, "it's good to pee".

Hope this helps

Hi malnk

I know just where you are coming from - I am 6 months post RT - and just on one 6 monthly Decapeptyl injection (only 2 more to go!!!).

Like you I feel amazing, I am back to doing what I did pre diagnosis (apart from the ED - like you the mind's there but the old man isn't co-operating!. Even the fatigue has gone. My only issue is weight gain - but I think it's sorted.

I still do get up 2/3 times in the night for a wee - it's slowly getting better and I don't have the urgency at the moment, I am lucky I just wake up , go to the toilet and go back to sleep, as I said it is getting better.

Enjoy the holiday - like most people on here you deserve it - don't forget my stick of rock.

Best wishes

Brian.

Hi malnik 

Have you tried adjusting your fluid intake? After RT I was also up several times a night and asked my GP practice nurse for advice. She suggested no alcohol or caffeine and to drink nothing after 6pm. It's over four years since I finished RT and I still don't touch alcohol at all but do have coffee in the morning only. Otherwise I drink Redbush tea which is caffeine free.

You need to drink 2 litres each day but try changing the routine so that you drink a lot in the morning, a little in the afternoon and nothing in the evening. It works for me.

I hope you find an answer that works for you.
