Hi Anne - has your GP ever mentioned bladder training to you? You can be referred to a clinic to assess your problem and work out the best way to treat it. There is info here from the Bladder & Bowel Foundation https://www.bladderandbowelfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Bladder-Advice-Sheet-Approaching-Your-GP8.pdf  and there is also more information here http://patient.info/health/overactive-bladder-syndrome

Hi all,
Just wanted to say that I was suffering terribly with wanting the toilet all the time, it got so bad I would be leaving the house to go to get the bus for work, and would lock front door, and then think , oh I need the toilet again!! So I was constantly stressed, and again up all night , insomnia and going to the toilet, it was ruining my life, I had no idea this was all due to the menopause!!! :-\ . Once I started on my HRT , these problems did disappear, I feel like I have my life back! I was suffering so bad and having panic attacks too, I have been on Prem pack now for 6 months and I would advise anyone suffering with how I was feeling to ensure that your HRT is at the correct dosage for you,you don't need to suffer xx

I find that anxiety affects my bladder at night. If my insomnia is bad I will also be up and down to the loo every half an hour or so, but I think it's because I'm anxious about not getting to sleep and my mind (and bladder) is working overtime. If I'm sleeping well though I will probably only need to get up maybe once during the night and then maybe again very early (like around 4-5am).

That's often due to a little bit of a prolapse CLKD. There's not much room between the two so as the pelvic floor sags a bit they can sort of push up against each other.

Yes I know but when the walls become a bit lax (as happens with us middle-aged people  :)) then if you are suffering from constipation the hard stool can cause pressure on the bladder neck  http://www.happybowel.com/constipation-uti/

I was getting up loads of times in the night to wee, thought it was the VA and the local treatments wasn't working enough any more but GP wanted to check before I could have HRT and it turned out I had a thrush infection I didn't know about. After treatment for that I've had 3 good months. Worth checking out?
