Hi first time on the board, wanted to get opinions from my peers. I am 76 years old no real health problems. But all of sudden now at night I find that I am peeing a little. Spoke to my doctor and he does not see any cause for it but he suggests I take myrbetriq. I've tried not drinking too much water before going to bed as well. Wanted to get the thoughts of anyone that has faced it and maybe there is a better solution my doctor has not thought of. Thank you in advance.
Need advice 76yrs old male & now starting to pee a little at night

You could always try something like Depends for men.

Do some reading on the internet about the condition called "Nocturia"....there are several good articles. In addition to frequent urination, are you noticing any pain or odor? If so, you may have a UTI....Urinary Tract Infection....in which case, you may need to take an antibiotic for a few days.

Do you mean that you wake up during the night and have to visit the bathroom? At 76 I think this is perfectly normal. If however you don't wake - then it's time to seek help.

Start taking turmeric. Read up on its benefits, online. There's too much to get into, here. It was a miracle cure, literally, for my Dad. Best of luck to you!

I have been taking tumeric with bio-perine and it is not a miracle cure. I wish people would stop using the word "miracle" and "cure". In the past few months I have sudden urges to urinate but none at night but when I awake in the morning it have to hit the toilet first thing. I look at it as one of the many joys of aging.

If you are not waking up to go to the bathroom, why not set an alarm clock for a few hours after you go to bed. Maybe if you get up and take care of business you'll get accustomed to waking up. Good luck, and I agree with the suggestion to see a urologist.
One thing that might be 'a' contributing factor is a possible heart issue. When the body is laying down or flat it's level with the heart which makes it easier for it to move/pump fluids around the body. Theoretcially couldn mean your body is simply processing more fluids faster at night lying down. When up right your body/heart has to work a little harder but your body might also be using up existing fluids faster as well, not as much need when less active ie asleep.
