I would agree with Mr Harding that the use of a bladder diary is appropriate. Examples can be accessed online, searching for a bladder frequency volume chart. A production of urine at night over the age of 50 of more than 1/3 of the 24-hour production constitutes nocturnal diuresis. The actual thres...

Bladder weakness can occur spontaneously in the population. It often is exacerbated by enlargement of the prostate and in many cases the exact cause is unknown. Specialist review of the situation is appropriate.

Each case has to be dealt with on its merits and specialist review by your general practitioner or continence nurse specialist with onward referral to a urologist would be appropriate.

Urgency incontinence (urge incontinence is the term used in the United States) is the consequence of urgency, a compelling desire to pass urine which is difficult to defer. There are drug treatments which can be very effective for this, but some of them do have side effects. They can be accessed thr...

Ask for a referral to see a specialist at the hospital.
