I hav recurrent prostate cancer and I am on 3 monthly hormone injections, started last October psa was 6.2 now 0.13 but I seem be going to the loo a lot especially through the night.

Could this be due to the cancer or the injrctions?

Hi again Roy.

Getting up at night frequently to urinate is called nocturia. I often have to get up for a pee,  two or times a night. It's annoying and can lead to fatigue caused by disturbed sleep. I often feel extremely tired in the late afternoon.

There can be many causes, including medications, urinary infections, prostate conditions and old age. If it's causing you problems I suggest calling you GP mate.

Good luck and I hope it eases.👍
