The 60-Second Test That Tells You Whether Your Bladder Is Weak — Or Just Lying To You
Four out of five people getting up twice a night have no loss of bladder capacity at all, says urologist Dr. Alan Reeves. Answer these questions to find out which group you are in.
Most people over 55 have been told the night trips are simply age. The assessment below tests that assumption in about a minute.
Almost everybody who gets up twice a night has been told the same thing: it is your age, it happens to everyone, there is nothing much to be done. Dr. Alan Reeves has spent twenty years telling patients the opposite.
There are two entirely different problems hiding under the same set of symptoms. In one, the bladder has genuinely lost capacity. In the other — far more common after 55 — the bladder holds as much as it ever did, and is being told it is full when it is nowhere near. From the inside, the two feel identical. They need opposite things.
The assessment below sorts one from the other. It takes about a minute, there are no trick questions, and your result appears on the last screen.
