What is this phenomenon and how can I snap out of it?

This is me as well, though mostly when I lie down or when my period is due. Now in perimenopause I find myself waking up to pee 10-20 times per night for the couple days before my period.

Wow people are uneducated about menopause and perimenopause. OP, I assume you're a woman? You need to use vaginal estrogen if you're over 40-45ish. 2-3x a week, until you die. It's an Rx from your doctor. It's not systemic so no issues if you're anti HRT. It helps urinary urgency, prevents bladder infections, etc.

Women in their 70s and 80s die of UTIs that could be prevented with this simple regimen. It's outrageous. But anyway I'm 44 and was getting bladder issues and THANK GOD switched to an educated, useful doctor from a moronic NP. He put me on it and then I did a lite googling- it's a no brainer.

I’m on an estrogen patch and I’m not seeing much improvement. What is the difference?

This started in my 40s. It was perimenopause and I needed vag estrogen.

The vaginal estrogen works on the estrogen receptors right inside the vulva. Way more effective.
