Urine issues

[mrssporranburn]

My mum has frequent trips to the toilet, usually later afternoon/evening. Sometimes she pees but often not. She has no UTI. Is this something others have experienced and is there treatment?
She can literally go every 3-5 mins for a few hours. She sleeps well at night usually without getting up.
I'm just waiting for her to have a fall.

Hello @mrssporranburn and welcome from me also. I do not have any experience of what you are describing but am wondering if what you are describing is due to anxiety if a UTI has been ruled out. I have also attached a link which you might find useful.
