March 27
Nocturia
Rough night, stopped fluids and food at 3:30pm. NO snack or salt before bed
Urinating like a horse every 30 min.or sooner. This went on for 2-3 hours.
After falling asleep, I was up an additional 3 times.
For me, salt definitely reduces my night time bathroom trips.
March 28 & 29
Nocturia
In my failed search for a low dosage salt table, around 100mg, I ran across Cell Salt tablets.
They are small and melt under your tongue.
The tablet contains 12 different Cell Salts in 1 tablet.
Stopped fluids and food around 4pm.
10pm, I placed 2 cell salts under my tongue and went to bed
Up 2 times each night instead of my usual 5.
The cell salts appear to contain enough salt reduce my night time bathroom trips.

April 4 - 8 weeks post-op
No visible signs of blood since March 31
Urine flow sprays if my bladder is not full and streams when very full.
Stopped, Cell Salts, April 1st. They increased the time to start a stream to around 30 seconds on my night time bathroom trips.
The cell salts contained antihistamines and pain relievers.
I believe the pain reliever helped reduce the trips to the bathroom and the antihistamine caused the delay in starting a stream.
Taking ibuprofen before bed is a common practice to reduce your bathroom trips, but it’s hard on your liver.
