Hi everyone,
I've found for the past couple of weeks that I've had to get up at least once in the night for a wee, and it's not a trickle, it's a full-on waterfall! And then in the morning, I need another big wee. I don't drink that much at night so where's it coming from?!
So my first thought is diabetes. I have a stock of urinalysis sticks at home that test for glucose in the urine (amongst other things), and no glucose is detected...but do you think a blood test would be more indicative/accurate?
The only other thing I can think is that Itake the Pill, which is supposed to have a diuretic effect. But I'm on my 'week off' at the moment and it's not helped, I'm still weeing like a horse in the night.
I'm trying so hard not to google, and not to think kidney cancer/bladder cancer/metabolic disease etc etc... :unsure:
Can anyone advise me?! I'm so reluctant to run back to the GP again... :wacko:
Thank you!
