The cystocele is likely what is causing you to urinate so frequently. Ask most women, as they get older they urinate more frequently. STOP pushing when you void-your bladder or uterus could fall out! This is no joke, it happens, and all that pushing is making it worse. Just void normally, no pushing. Stop drinking fluids a few hours before bed time. They use to do surgery at the first sign of a cystocele, but now they dont feel it should be done. (probably the drug companies had something to do with that decision). Try a second opinion, and research your problem.
