I always have to pee, affecting my sleep. 18 Years old.

Ever since I was about 10 years old Ive always had to pee 3-4 times before I went to sleep. Now I still have to pee 2-3 times before I sleep and its only a couple of drops then when I'm lying down to sleep it still feels like I have to pee and I never really feel satisfied. I always usually wake up about 4 hours into my sleep to pee and then again in the morning. When I pee in the morning it feels like I almost have to run to the bathroom because my bladder is so full and I always have to pee pretty badly at times that cut into my sleep schedule. Ive found my self extremely tired for about a year now and have privately had a condition of fatigue which really eats at my motivation.

I'm a personal trainer and workout 6 days a week and have very good diet habits. I used to drink a gallon of water a day and have tried cutting back for my problem. Ive even tried not drinking water about 3 hours before I go to sleep and still nothing.

I went to my doctor about 6 months ago and all he did was snicker and said that I'm way to young for any bladder problem and sent me on my way, but I'm also beginning to question my doctor due to my last visit when I had a condition of congestion and all he did was come in the room and give me 3 different prescriptions without doing any tests or anything.

Even when I'm not sleeping or going to sleep I still find my self going to the bathroom sometimes to let out a small amount of pee because it feels like I have to. I've thought about going to see a shrink to see if its physiological. Ive also suffered with premature ejaculation for years which is another sign of an over reactive bladder.

I'm going to start taking Saw Palmetto to see If I get any results. If anyone has any insights for me I would be very appreciative.

One more thing, I forgot to add the reason I went to see my doctor in the first place because of the problem was because for a few days I had a burning sensation when I urinated. He asked if Ive been having sex with a condom, I told him yes but in truth I had sex with a condom about 2 months before without a condom but I don't think it strikes a problem because the burning went away about a week later and Ive had the frequent urinating problem since since I was a virgin.
