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.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,

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.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jagadeesan, Psychiatrist
