As previously mentioned I have sleep disruptive nochturia. There is no leakage, retention or pain. The primary issue is urgency even though there is little or nothing in the bladder. Been through every kind of test, scope, and scan yet no identifiable cause. Tried a vast array of prescription drugs, physical therapy and TENS treatments. The next phase would be more invasive treatments. My urologist's assistant suggested that I try AZO pumpkin seed extract. She knows that we are running out of non-invasive options and thought this is worth a try. I just started taking it but results can take up to 6 weeks, if it works. There are NIH studies that show it can result in improvements with frequency and urgency. Has anyone else tried pumpkin seed extract?
