Many people wake up repeatedly in the middle of the night because they want to go to the bathroom, which disturbs their dreams and affects their quality of sleep. According to the definition of the International Incontinence Society (ICS), “nocturia” refers to at least 2 or more times a night, interrupted sleep due to strong urination and waking up. In this regard, urologist Dai Dingen compiled 5 common causes of nocturia on Facebook fans, including overactive bladder, weakened muscle tissue, etc., and reminded the public that if the following symptoms occur, it is also recommended to seek medical treatment or prevention in time.

1. Too many drinks before bed

It is one of the most common causes of nocturia. Drinking too much water or beverages before going to bed will naturally make people run to the toilet in the middle of the night. In addition, you can drink plenty of water during the day, but at night, especially 1 to 2 hours before going to bed, you should try to drink less water and beverages, so as not to wake you up due to urination.

2. Overactive Bladder

It means that there is a problem with the function of the bladder to store urine. For example, the average person’s bladder may accumulate 300 to 500 cc of urine before they feel the urge to urinate, while patients only need to store 50 to 100 cc of urine and they will want to go to the toilet. Usually, it can be treated with drugs and combined with Improve with pelvic Kegel exercises.

3. Bladder infection

Urinary tract infection or cystitis may also cause frequent urination. If it hurts when you urinate, or you can’t help it when you feel the urge to urinate, it may be cystitis or urinary tract infection.

4. Older muscles weaken

As we age, muscles and tissues may gradually weaken, and so do the muscles related to bladder control, especially those over 65 years old often have nocturia problems, and this can also be done by training the pelvic muscles with Kegel exercises to improve.

5. Medications and health conditions

Medications for certain chronic conditions can affect fluid balance in the body, leading to nocturia. In addition, diabetes may also affect the production and excretion of urine, which can cause problems with nocturia.
