Frequent urination at night is not just caused by disease!

In recent years, men's health has also attracted attention from all walks of life. After all, men are still the "pillars" of today's society. If a man falls, it may mean the fall of the family. For example, the problem of men urinating frequently at night is very common. So, what is the reason for men's frequent urination at night?

What is nocturia

Nocturia refers to an increase in the frequency and volume of urination at night. If the urine volume at night exceeds the urine volume during the day and the frequency of urination increases, especially if you still need to get up to urinate in the middle of the night after falling asleep, it is called nocturnal urination. Nocturia is more common in patients with chronic nephritis and renal insufficiency. It reflects a decrease in the kidney's concentration function and is also a symptom of cystitis. However, there are some other conditions that can also cause frequent urination at night in men.

There are several other reasons why men urinate frequently at night:

1. Edema:

For some male friends with renal or heart failure and certain endocrine diseases, the blood flow to the kidneys will increase when they lie down at night, and some water will re-enter the blood circulation, causing the male friends to have an increased amount of urine at night. This type of nocturia is also called drainage nocturia.

2. Psychogenic nocturia:

Some people urinate frequently at night because they are highly nervous or nervous, have poor sleep, and a slight bladder filling causes a urge to urinate. Some people are also afraid of urinating, so they have to get up to urinate 1-2 times in the middle of the night, which becomes a habit over time. This nocturia is just an increase in the frequency of urination and is not a disease.

3. Disease:

Patients with certain diseases may also experience increased nocturia. For example, patients with diabetes and diabetes insipidus have increased daily urine output and a corresponding increase in nocturia.
