Passing urine four times a night

by Dr Sarah Brewer

question
For about a year now, I've been getting up about four times a night to pass urine. It's really draining me. I'm 38 and about 16 stone.

answer
Do see your GP for a general check-up to ensure you do not have high blood pressure, low-grade cystitis or kidney problems. If all seems well, it may help to lose weight and to reduce fluid retention. Regular exercise will also help to improve fluid handling in the body.
