Over the past few years I’ve noticed I need to pee more often.At first it was just a bit difficult getting to work without needing to stop… my kidneys seem to operate flat-out in the morning so an hour-long commute was enough to make it pretty desperate by the time I arrived. More recently it’s got worse in that I can be in urgent need of a piss even when my bladder is only one third full.Probably this is down to age (late 50’s), but thought I’d better get it checked out.The hospital urology unit told me to keep a record of fluid intake and output so lately I’ve been pissing in a measuring jug… which has revealed the fact that after I’ve been out on the bike for an hour my urine is cloudy whereas the rest of the time it’s crystal clear. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed a similar effect?
I personally can go all night without getting up for a slash...

Two days after starting this measuring malarky I started waking up in the middle of the night needing a piss! Fucking annoying.PSA test was done, and didn’t cause alarm, though from what I read it doesn’t give especially reliable results anyway… and neither does the finger-up-the-bum test, I think the medics just get off on the humiliation aspect. Ultrasound scan revealed an enlarged prostate, but flow rate and emptying are good, it was more the cloudiness that puzzles me. I assume it is due to the beating I get from riding over the appalling roads round here which was why I was asking.I just checked on some cyclist forums as I guess they would be affected more since they have harsher (no) suspension, but it doesn’t appear to be a routine thing for them… though it does get mentioned in association with kidney stones. Something to raise at my next appointment.
lol I got the opposite prob VNA, if I get that "ooh think I may need to shit" light twinge, five minutes later ive gotta be squatting somewhere with me trousers and pants around me ankles or i'll honestly shit myself. And also cannot go through the night without having to get up and pee at least twice, despite knocking my beloved "last cup of tea of the day" in bed on the head. I hate being old...
at least we are all in the same boat mate lol. its horrible to talk about, but everytime I walk the dog (three times a day through woodland thank Christ) I have to take paper in case I get caught out. getting old sucks beyond belief, why the hell did I survive strokers in the seventies
