@terwifwoods Having this issue must be causing you lost relaxation and sleep, right? I have the opposite problem, as I head closer and closer to kidney failure! I am limited on daily fluid intake to around 40 ounces, to help kidney stress be lessened.
As I read your post, I hoped you have also read what you wrote down. Several questions came to mind, chief among them is why you are intaking so much fluid per day? If this total is just water, remember there are liquid values in soup, fruits, sauces, etc., too, that would increase that fluid intake amount. What has your dr said about that high level of intake? Another thing you might consider, is if you finally have the opportunity to relax at night, letting your whole body relax and allowing the tightened urethra to also relax?
Here is an article from Mayo Clinic about benign prostatic hyperplasia that may answer a few concerns: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/benign-prostatic-hyperplasia/symptoms-causes/syc-20370087

Thank you for the reply. My urologist directed me to drink 100 oz of water per day. The good news is my kidneys are prostate are ok. I also have a notebook of ongoing questions for my doctors. Hang in there!
