Loo in the night - help please!

I'm a woman, so t least its not a prostate problem .
I'm always hopeful of a herbal remedy for most things - like sage for hot flushes, mullein for lung problems.
Or in desperation a tablet from the GP.

GP check up in case of illness such as type 2 diabetes might put your mind at rest,

MawBroon - I am 66, glass of wine maybe once a week, walk say 6 miles at the weekend.
Thanks everyone - always kind and informed advice from Gransnet, I love it.

I think it’s fairly common as you age.

netflixfan could be a man, in which case do you see this as a problem that may be related to the prostate ? If you are getting up to use the toilet but have difficulty urinating then seek advice.

I'm another twice a night woman, wish I wasn't but there we are. Unless you have symptoms like those BlueBell identifies, don't worry about it. Tedious isn't it

I usually get up about 4 am and but my very healthy friend with no bladder problems goes a few times each night
I wouldn’t worry unless there is pain or blood or discomfort

For me twice would be a good night, but as Maw said, if you are quite young and it concerns you, I would get advice.
I just see it as part of the aging process and accept it.

Sometimes it can become a habit, if I need to go twice I try to get back to sleep first instead of getting up a second time right away.
It usually works, however, sometimes my glass of water is empty in the mornings, so I’m obviously drinking lots without realising it.

Twice isn’t all that bad! I suppose it depends on your lifestyle - you don’t say how old you are or if you have been drinking more in the evening
