Is there anything you can do for a weak or small bladder? 1 pint of drink and ill be peeing all night none stop, just small drops but I have to go because im bursting.
Ahhh, the old 'broken the seal' problem.You need to work on getting at least 4 down you before going for the first time.
Once you've been, that's it..... you'll spend the rest of the night 'pissing like a racehorse'.
I dont drink large amounts, go to the pub or anything like that. I just keep ending up at the doctors because im dehydrated. Constantly on salene or rehydration packs, the reason I drink little is because I piss often. Im like a kid on a long journey and need to sort something more permanent out.

No mate, I dont drink tea or coffee at all. I have a varied diet, not the healthiest but very varied though.
I trust your doctor is on the case and investigating the cause? (Or at least sending you for tests at the local hospital.) It can't be good for you if you're always dehydrated especially with summer coming up.He cant do nothing till ive given a blood sample, Ive missed every appointment, not scared of needles its just im a bit gutted the nurses at the surgery dont look like the nurses on the internet, so I dont go in protest 
thats my story and im sticking to it. Should get it done though.

Get it seen to sooner rather than later. It could be a serious problem that's only getting worse by not receiving the correct treatment.
Lee - you really do need to talk to a doctor about it. At a minimum expect some blood tests, a wee-in-a-cup test and a prostate check, assuming you've got a prostate.
I don't know how old you are or what your state of general health is but it's really not worth mucking about with, you're potentially looking at an unpleasant few minutes now or something much, much worse if you continue to avoid seeking proper help. Chin up - you might even quite like the prostate bit.

Cheers everyone, ill go for blood tests, bite the bullet and put my morals behind me 
How would a prostate test help diagnosis? I know im at high risk diabites so thats my worry at the moment.
Enlarged prostate could squash your bladder a bit and/or make it hard for you to empty your bladder completely in one go. How would a prostate test help diagnosis? I know im at high risk diabites so thats my worry at the moment.
It doesn't necessarily mean anything scary that starts with C, it can happen all on its own but it does need checking.

Thanks, I was hoping you would tell me you were pulling my chain and I wont need one lol Am I right in thinking that means ill be probed? Do they use a tool or finger?
Yes, you will. It's a lubed, gloved finger. It doesn't hurt, there's no force or anything and it's over in seconds. You probably excrete bigger stuff in normal 'output' on a regular basis. Something I deal with daily although not for prostate related reasons, as I don't have a prostate. Not (necessarily!) fun but honestly there are so so many worse things to have to face.
