Does anyone have overactive bladder issues

I pee often during the day (about every 60-90mins) & at night (about 5 times a night) but then I do drink throughout the day & at night. I do pee differently then I did as a younger person. The signal is a bit more urgent & the flow isn’t as forceful which is all part of getting older.

I pee a lot when I drink a lot of coffee and tea. Both are diuretics and I use Splenda in both, which is a bladder irritant. Artificial sugar, caffeine, tea, and coffee will cause you to pee more, as will just drinking more.

There are also medical conditions like bladder infections and interstitial cystitis. Also diabetes. I would work with your doctor to see if you might have a medical condition and also look at what you're drinking to see if that could be affecting it.

I would talk to your doctor about this. They make medications that help decrease the urgency and the number of times you have to go pee a lot. I took one for another reason (excessive sweating) and it cut down the number of trips to the bathroom by like half. I was amazed.
