frequent urination

Body: 

I was wondering why I am so weak and tired most of the time and now I think it is because I do not get quality sleep. I have to urinate every hour and half, both in the day and at night. I drink water or tart cherry juice and sometimes brewed, sugar free, caffeine free, iced tea. my uterus is right near or almost out of my vagina most times and I am wondering if my bladder might be right behind it causing my frequency? Thank you for all your help

Do you have that much urine around the clock, or is it mainly just an urge to go? A prolapsed uterus can certainly be a factor with the latter, though it should be less of an issue when you are lying down. - Surviving

I agree, there can be some pressure on the bladder from the prolapsed uterus, but not to the point where you are urinating all the time. You may want to go get a check up to make sure you don't have a bladder infection or other underlying condition.

Dear Surviving,
Thank you for your help. I have to actually go to the bathroom...........I use the toilet pose and am able to empty my bladder. Don't know what else to do

Hello Aging. thank you for the help. since I do not have a dr I was wondering what type of dr should I see for this? I walked my dogs this am and after about an hour I had to go.............lucky for me I was close to my home. my sister, who had this says she had a bladder prolapse and she had the mesh surgery......so you see why I do not talk to her of this as she is pro surgery, and I am not.
I appreciate any words or suggestions

Hi healing with passion, I had a very similar problem just before Christmas. I really wasn't sure what was going on but I decided to try cranberry tablets for a few days. The plan was to go to the doctors if nothing changed. Within two days the problem cleared up and has never returned. It might be worth a try whilst you are trying to find a doctor.

If you do have a bladder infection, and home remedies don't clear it up, don't let it go too long. You may have to go to the doctor to get something to clear it up. Sometimes home remedies can help if you have caught it early enough, but not always.
Of course, prevention as in complete emptying of the bladder is the best thing to do.

I was allergic to it. it was causing Bladder infection. I went to the doctor all the time for treatment
I have been without the pessary for over a year and haven't had anymore problems..

hello Mummy duck13,
the cranberry juice is helping, thank you for suggesting it

Hi healing - what mummyduck suggested was cranberry tablets. I don't know if these will help you or not. But if you are drinking cranberry juice, be aware that it is often extremely high in sugar, which will only make the situation worse; so choose your juice with care. - Surviving

Hi, the reason I suggested cranberry tablets is because of the sugar content in the juice. In the uk sugar free is available but you have to watch the sweeteners used. Nevertheless cranberry juice is great for short term emergency use, but cranberry tablets are readily available.

When I worked in the nursing homes, cranberry pills were passed out quite often as a preventative, but people still got bladder infections. That's why complete emptying is so important, because getting the residual urine out of the bladder takes away a place for those nasty little bacteria like to cultivate.

thank you surviving 60........yes I agree about the sugar in the juices, that is why I buy the pure organic juice that contains nothing but the juice from the health store.

Even pure fruit juices have a very high sugar content because they are so concentrated. If you think that cranberry is helping you, I would suggest the tablets washed down with plenty of water. - Surviving

Where do I purchase the cranberry tablets? I appreciate all of the help, thank you
