It depends if this has been a one off thing or wether you are getting worse & loosing more wee. It may be this will never re occour. If it does, you will have to go to a continence advisor for further guidance. You could have had a full bladder, & because you was so much asleep, it could have been a reflex action of your brain to let go of your wee. You should be practising your Pelvic floor excercises, which will tone your bladder muscles.  \n\nIf you want, e mail me.

Many people believe that bladder infections are caused by poor hygiene in that region. This is untrue! It is much more common in women due to the fact that our urethra is much shorter. She should try drinking cranberry juice and a topical vaginal cream containing estrogen. Both of these things have been proven to help reduce the incidence of reccurent cystitis (your grandma's bladder infections). Acupuncture is also shown to help. Since they're reccurrent, it could be an indication of a more serious problem (a sickle-cell disease or an anatomical malformation). Has your grandmother been in the hospital using urinary catheters - those things can lead to infection. In any case, it sounds like this will need further investigation - probably ultrasounds of the kidneys and X-rays of the urological system. There will most likely be treatment available. Good luck!

"Honeymoon cystitis" can occur when a woman has intercourse for the first few times, or a lot of vigorous intercourse. It's an irritation of the bladder from friction. It isn't necessarily dangerous, and time will help. Some ibuprofen won't hurt either. If it is this problem that is making you feel the need to pee urgently, it'll clear up in a few days. If not, see your doc.\n\nAs to your period, there is very little chance that any signs of pregnancy would show up only days later. Wait a few weeks, then use a home test. Chances are good, from what you say, that you are not pregnant, but don't ever forget how scared you are right now, and let it teach you to use birth control, and practice safe sex.\n\nIf you are in the US, you should look for a Planned Parenthood near you. No matter how old you are, they can provide birth control information. As a matter of fact, they can probably treat your bladder problem if it needs treatment.

Forget the spelling and go to see a Doctor it might just be a UTI-Urinary tract infection, or could be fibroid cysts or other things, maybe a sexually transmitted disease. However, before u jump to conclusions go find a Doctor quick.

MY SON HAD SAME CONDITION.  HE TAKES "SAW PALMETTO" WHICH WORKED WONDERS.  HE WAS 25.  FEW DOCTORS UNDERSTAND THIS CONDITION.  OVER-THE-COUNTER PAIN PILLS HELP FOR PELVIC PAIN.  TRY HERBAL REMEDY - HELPED SOON WITHIN 2 WEEKS.  ALSO, DO YOU DRINK PLENTY OF WATER?  MY SON WASN'T.  TRY MODERATE WARM TUB (SITZ) BATHS TO ALLEVIATE PAIN.  DON'T THINK IT WILL LEAD TO PREMATURE AGING.  SAW PALMETTO IS SOLD AS NATURAL WHOLE HERB AT MOST DRUG STORES AND IS FOR PROSTATE & URINARY HEALTH.

I know this is an embarassing condition, and talking to a Dr would help but it is hard to bring up.  Maybe it would be easier to bring it up to another female.  The school nurse would also be able to help.  She will not judge you or make fun of you, but will handle the matter professionally.  Some questions that he or she will want to know and for you to consider:\n\n1.  Has this been a problem since childhood, or is it a recent occurence?\n\n2.  Do you have any other muscle control problems or any other type of nerve disorders?\n\n3. Are you having any certain emotions that may be causing it, (not just and effect of it) and how many times a day does this happen?\n\n4.  are there any other symptoms that accompany it such as tingling, burning?  Do you have a fever or other pains?  This may indicate a bladder, kidney, or complete urinary tract infection.  Have you had unprotected sex? It could be caused by an STD.\n\n5.  Is your urine unusually smelly, have floaty things in it, pink or bloody?\n\n6. Are you able to feel the NEED to urinate (us people who think we know everything call it "urgency")? OR, do you feel the need to urinate and then you try to go but just a trickle comes out? How many times a day do you pee?  How much do you drink?\n\nthere are probably more things that you need to consider but this is just a small list.  I hope you find out what is going on.  Just be ready to answer some of these questions.  I hope this helps.

Here's a site with some useful information about bladder infections, the causes, and suggestions for curing them. \n\nhttp://www.mothernature.com/Library/Bookshelf/Books/47/14.cfm\n\nHowever, as with any infection, if it doesn't clear up within a short period of time, or if accompanied by fever, SEE YOUR DOCTOR!

You might have something called Interstitial cystitis.  Interstitial cystitis (commonly abbreviated to "IC") is a urinary bladder disease of unknown cause characterised by pelvic and intense bladder pain, urinary frequency (as often as every 10 minutes), and pain with urination. It is not unusual for patients to experience nocturia and pain with sexual intercourse. IC is also known as painful bladder syndrome (PBS), particularly outside of the USA.\n\nIC affects men and women of all cultures, socioeconomics and ages. Although the disease previously was believed to be a condition of menopausal women, growing numbers of men and women are being diagnosed in their twenties and younger. IC is not a rare condition. Early research suggested that IC prevalence ranged from 1 in 100,000 to 5.1 in 1,000 of the general population. New epidemiological data released in 2006 by Dr. Matt Rosenberg now suggests that up to 12% of women may have early symptoms of IC.\n\nOne of the most effective treatments is diet modification.\nThe foundation of therapy for modification of diet is to help patients avoid those foods which can will further irritate the damaged bladder wall. Common offenders include coffees, teas, herbal teas, green teas, all sodas (particularly diet), concentrated fruit juices, multivitamins, monosodium glutamate, chocolate, and potassium-rich foods such as bananas. Most IC support groups and many urology clinics have diet lists available.\n\nThe problem with diet triggers is that they vary from person to person: the best way for a person to discover his or her own triggers is to use an elimination diet. This is where someone cuts out all foods except the basics (e.g. potatoes, bread, rice, water) and then introduces new foods one at a time. Trying to discover which foods are one's own triggers without the use of an elimination diet is like trying to do a scientific experiment whilst altering 10 variables all at once.\n\nYou might want to click on this link:\nhttp://www.ic-network.com/

More than likely it is an infection--get to a dr., preferrably a urologist asap!

Well first off how much water or other fluids do you consume? Cut down. Other wise you may have an overactive bladder which can be helped by visiting your doctor. Hope you figure it out.

Unfortuantely I don't think there are any EASY solutions.  I'm 29 years old, male, and have basically the same problem.  In childhood, until I was about 12 years old, I used to do this every night.  Since then it only happens occasionally, but still often enough to be really frustrating.  Like you, I never do it in the daytime even if I sleep for several hours at a time, and I also notice that it is more likely to happen on nights when I am very tired, depressed, or under stress.\n\n   Since this has happened all your life, you probably don't have any serious medical problems taht will be a threat to your long-term health.  I have been tested for about everything imaginable and there is nothing seriously wrong with me.  Basically, I'm told it happens because my urinary bladder is smaller than normal for an adult, and because I sometimes sleep too soundly to know when my bladder is full and wake up to use the toilet -- especially when I am really tired or stressed.\n\n   I don't know what else to suggest to you except to hang in there -- this happens to a lot more young adults than you would think!  If I'm traveling and need to be very careful not to wet the bed on a particular night, I've found that by setting an alarm clock for 2 hours after I go to sleep, and getting up to urinate at that point whether my bladder feels full or not, I can make sure that I don't wet the bed on that particular night.  I don't do this every night, though, because it interrupts my sleep too much, but that can at least keep it from happening in a place where it would be really embarrassing.\n\n   I hope this is helpful.  If you would like to talk more, please feel free to write to me using the e-mail address in my profile, and I would be happy to share more of my experiences with you.

Cure? .. well maybe not, but I drink this horrible tasting herb, called Uva Ursi. You can buy it in tea form at Whole Foods or hopefully any natural grocery store. Also try setting a ridiculous goal for yourself - like drinking a big glass of water on the hour, every hour. Yeah, having to pee all the time sucks - but so do infections! Did you tell your doctor that the anitbiotics weren't working? You might have a resistant strain of something, maybe they can just prescribe something different for you, without you having to actually go back to their office. \nGood luck....
