My husband thinks he needs to go pee constantly, but doesn’t. He barely sits down before he gets up again.

This could be a prostate problem as granny suggested. And serious. DH needs to see a Urologist. My DH had lazar treatment that schrunk it.

He needs to be checked for a UTI. If he does not have a UTI, he needs an appointment with a urologist. The usual non-infection issue is an enlarged prostate. There could be a few other problems to consider as well: diabetes, hormone imbalance, and possibly cancer.

When my husband did that in the last few days of his life, it was because he refused to allow them to insert a catheter in the hospital. After four days home, he was constantly trying to go and only dribbled. We had to move him to a hospice house and they immediately cathed him. His prostate was so swollen that the regular nurse couldn't do it, a specialist had to be called in. His bladder was very full, he filled bag after bag. He definitely felt like he had to go to the bathroom, but nothing was happening because of his prostate. So get your husband's prostate checked if you can.

Zeus2222: Pose your question to his urologist.

Is your husband urinating at all when he sits on the toilet? Is it a weak stream? My husband had problems with enlarged prostate and also not emptying his bladder fully. Made him uncomfortable. Has the doctor checked such on your husband? Checking for retained urine is a simple test. Person urinates, then bladder is given an ultrasound to see how much urine is left inside.

If cleared for UTI, could it be related to prostrate issues?

My husband is the same way he gets me up multiple times at night as he uses urinal. Not sure if it is spite for being disabled, he does have ocd and is a narrsist. I am at my wits end, he is getting worse too. Do not have anyone to talk to, so just venting a bit.He has been medically cleared, just his congestive heart failure is all he has.

Sounds like your husband is suffering from OCD behaviors that often go hand and hand with dementia, so I would talk to his doctor about a medication that could possibly help with that.

Zeus2222, welcome to the forum. You mentioned your hubby was cleared for a UTI. When was that? An UTI can pop up very quickly even after being tested a month or a couple weeks prior.

UTI? My MIL is like that about pants. She is constantly complaining about them being too tight and gets the nurses to cut the HUGE (not) waistbands that are making her crazy.

That's how I feel when I get a bladder infection, too.

Again, these things you mention are a part of a disease that causes a disordered mind.
