Suggest Treatment For A Constant Urge To Urinate

hello, my name is jason and i have a problem of constantly going to the restroom. and because of this i have been having a hard time sleeping because i have the constant urge to have to urinate. I constatly get up at night to get use the restroom go back to bed 15mins late get back up and go again. it repeats till I can finally fall asleep to then have to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom. Everyday i have been feeling like not myself because i am always tired during the day. I have tried everything from detoxing drinking cranberry to the doctor subscribing me antibiotics which didn't do much at all. But more about me is that I frequently masturbate about 4-5times a day regularly. I read over the net that constant masturbation can cause inflammation to your bladder which can cause PROSTATITIS. I'm not entirely sure if this is true but i read it and people have stopped masturbating for awhile and it helped the frequent get ups at night.

Urologist 's  Response
hi jason. Firstly frequent masturbation DOESNOT cause prostatitis. Prostatitis can be due to infection (for eg. bacterial) or some inflammation of prostate (for eg. chemical irritation due to urine contents).
Frequency of urination can be due to various reasons. Restrict your fluid intake to about 1.5 to 2.0 liters a day, or slightly more if you live in a hot climate. Don't drink water when you wake up to pass urine during night-time.
Avoid excessive intake of fuzzy drinks/tea/coffee/alcohol. These can make you produce more urine.
Re-consult your family doctor for your symptoms. He may advise some further tests like sonography etc. A blood test for blood sugar levels will also be needed. Finally you may require medications to relax your bladder muscles and decrease your urinary frequency. Good luck.
