I am 52 yo female, with a past history of frequency and urgency, altho I have rarely had a bladder infection. I am obese, altho not morbidly. I have had several pregnancies, and a oopherectomy 10 yrs ago. I have done FS for glucose, with a high normal range, and in the last 2 months have developed nighttime urgency with enuresis.I have taken ditropan for the last 3 yrs that suddenly is completely ineffective.
I'm frustrated and to say the least... TIRED! I am voiding on average every 45 minutes, and sometimes more often.
What can you suggest?

 Dear guest,
Thank you very much for using our website.
What you are describing could be related to a new urinart tract infection or due to you developing frank diabetes.
Best line of action is to check a urine analysis and if this is normal or if it shows the presence of sugar in the urine then it is best to check a blood sugar.
If every thing comes back normal then the best thing is to be checked by a urologist to make sure that the cause of incontinence is not related to a weak bladder muscle that needs surgical intervention.
If you had any other neurological symptoms this could be related to a nerve problem in the process of controlling your bladder so you might also need to see a neurologist.
Once more, thank you very much for using our website http://doctorslounge.com and good luck.
Yasser Mokhtar, M.D.
