Why Am I Waking Up In The Night About 30 Times Between 15-20 Mins Of Sleep?
Hi. I am waking up in the night about 30 times between 15-20 mins of sleep. I am woken up by a strong urge to urinate, almost a pain in my penis. I have a burning sensation whilst urinating. Each time I urinate there is a strong flow and urine always clear, unless I pass clean blood about every 100 times. I have recently had a meatus dilation and wonder whether there might be catheter damage. though this does not account for over urination. The hospital showed a non cancerous inflammation of the bladder wall. I am 52 years old, a non smoker and rarely drink. Normally my health is good.
Your sleep disturbance can be due to your underlying urinary tract problems for which you need to follow a urologist's advice. For the sleep issues you can also get it improved by discussing with a psychiatrist about sleep hygiene and safe methods to prevent frequent awakenings.
