sensitive bladder
any ideas please after many years...?
i am very fit healthy male aged 45.
In 1990 (18 yrs) I suddenly aquired a sensitive bladder... i.e. when lyin down to go to sleep i get a nagging ache in my scrotum that tells my brain i need to empty my bladder. when i then urinate it is only a very small amount but my bladder feels empty and i can go to sleep.. this occurrs sometimes 10 times a night. I also get the feeling in the afternoon and evening but it is not bothersome that i need to urinate immediately. i only have the problem when im tryin to sleep. i can hold it in but is obviously uncomfotable.
ive had a few prostrate checks, ostoscopy and bladder biopsies over the years but they have not shown any problems. I also had my bladder stretched which was futile and would not havre it done again. ive seen a few specialists.
actually over the years ive adapted to the problem and manage to sleep around my toilet visits.
sometimes though...LIKE NOW THAT I HAVE A BAD COLD OR AM STRESSED .. the problem is very difficult to live with.
today the consultant gave me tablets called desmopressin acetate. i understand they reduce urine amounts. will try but cant see them working well.
Any new ideas PLease help.

Your extensive workup is reassuring. Desmopressin will change your body's water regulation via hormonal control. It's worth continuing to look for help about this, you're young enough that a specialist should be able to find a way to help.
