← Return to 7 weeks after Prostatectomy and still waking up a lot to pee.

For the few months right after surgery I was waking up more frequently during the night to pee. That gradually went away as I gained confidence so now at 7+ months I'm pretty much back to normal for me. But I don't really know how much of that was physical and how much was unconscious mental anxiety of me just worrying about having an accident. What I do know is sometime around 3 months I started relaxing quite a bit and just not thinking about it as much and that seemed to help me go longer. At around 5 months I really turned a corner and now I don't really think about it at all and I consider myself back to normal. All that said, I'm 71 and if I drink a lot of fluids in the evening I'll definitely get up 2 or maybe even 3 times a night. But normally I'll get up once a night during 8 hours of sleep. Best wishes.

Thanks retireditguy,

I think this is similar to me where I worry so much about an accident, not only at night but also during the day if we’re going out and about doing errands etc. Hopefully I follow a similar path to you and it just goes away naturally over time.

Thanks Again,

Have a Great Day.
