Urinary Bladder (Uncommon) Disorder

Hi, I am new here, but I would begin with expressing my gratitude, for all the vast information that you provide us with, and for the possibility to ask my question.
I have a severe bladder disorder disease( my bladder cannot contract properly-thus I cannot empty it , it retains partially/ ), that is why for 5 years I use intermittent catheterization. I mention that I did not suffer from any injury, I got this as “a present” with my menopause. Ever since, I have more and more often UTI, with terrible pain episodes, last one in October brought me into hospital with pyelonephritis, because the infection went up to the kidneys. I have tried numerous urologists, neurologists (dg. neuropathic bladder, etc) without any success, as besides antibiotics, I got nothing else. Furthermore, in a strange way I eliminate sometimes 4-5 l /day, without me drinking at least as much liquids. They simply do not believe me, I was investigated for diabetes but , this was not confirmed either.
During daytime I go to the restroom about 10 times, at night at at least 3 times.That is why it is like water , so not concentrated at all but I never "produce " less then 250 ml, sometimes 600-700ml. I am hypotensive, and have no regular medication. Recently I began to read a lot in acupuncture direction, and even went to a TCM doctor. My symptoms improved, but still with me. Do you think I have any chance to balance my "water"issues? What is your experience on this, could you recommend me some points that I can also press at home, thus strengthening the effect of acupuncture treatment. I just add that I mainly do not like to sleep (max 4-5h a night) , predominant yang person. Thanks a million!
