Nocturia has two main causes:

1, physiological factors

Drinking more water before going to bed, taking diuretics or cold weather will lead to an increase in nocturia. In addition, after pregnancy, uterine compression and stimulation of the bladder will also lead to an increase in nocturia.

Suggestion:

Change your living habits, try to avoid drinking a lot of water, and drink and eat after meals.

But don't drink water at night because you are afraid of getting up at night, which will reduce the water in the blood and increase the viscosity of the blood. If there are basic diseases such as hypertension and arteriosclerosis, it is easy to have thrombotic diseases such as cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction.

2. Pathological factors

Pathological nocturia may be related to many diseases and need targeted etiological treatment.

Nocturnal urination is not a trivial matter.

Many people will say that it doesn't matter much to pee at night, but they can't sleep well. However, this long-term sleep disorder will lead to depression and cognitive impairment, and the elderly are more likely to fall at night, with disastrous consequences.

Moreover, if the symptoms of nocturia caused by prostate problems are not treated for a long time, it will further cause bladder function damage and chronic renal function damage, and even develop into uremia.

Here are a few habits that help prevent and relieve nocturia:

1, levator ani movement

Inhale, tighten the anus with forced inhalation, and then exhale to relax. Perform 3-4 rounds every day, 25 slow and strong contractions and 25 rapid contractions alternately.

This exercise can help us to strengthen the support of urethra and exercise perianal muscles, so as to better improve urine control at night.

2. Massage acupoints

Rub Yongquan point and Zusanli point with your palm before going to bed for 2-3 minutes, which can relieve nocturia to some extent.

3. Appropriate food supplement

Shrimp, black rice, black beans, black sesame seeds, auricularia auricula, Lycium barbarum and various animal kidneys all have the effects of warming and tonifying kidney and yang, and proper supplementation is beneficial to prevent nocturia.

But you must eat less salt.

Derek, University of Bristol, UK? A study by Professor Iverson found that reducing salt intake can significantly reduce the number of waking up at night.

4. Drink less water within half an hour before going to bed.

People who often get up at night should not drink water before going to bed. You can drink two drinks half an hour before going to bed, and no more than one cup (200 ml).
