Why do men urinate frequently at night?

Many men are very distressed every night. They have to get up to go to the toilet many times every night. The number of urination is very frequent, especially in winter. You can imagine how comfortable it is to be in a warm bed. It must be very cold to get up to go to the toilet. It is difficult to get up. Many people will not get up unless they are very strong in holding their urine. However, if you have frequent urination, you must not hold your urine. Let's talk about the relevant knowledge about men's frequent urination at night.

Frequent waking up at night and increased urine output at night is medically known as nocturia.

Increased nocturia is neither a normal physiological phenomenon nor a physiological need, but a potential pathological manifestation.

A normal adult can filter up to 180 liters of primary urine through the kidneys every 24 hours, and only 1% of the urine is discharged daily, which is about 1.8 liters. 99% of urine mainly relies on the concentration and dilution function of the kidneys, and most of the primary urine is reabsorbed back into the blood by the kidneys.

Prostatic hyperplasia can also cause increased nocturia. After suffering from prostatic hyperplasia, the main symptom of the patient is difficulty in urination and progressive aggravation, with frequent urination being the earliest symptom. Because prostatic hyperplasia increases urination resistance, the bladder detrusor muscle must over-contract to complete the urination process, resulting in compensatory hypertrophy of the detrusor muscle.

The bladder trigone is the most sensitive area of ​​the bladder and is the first site for compensatory hypertrophy to occur. Therefore, even a very small amount of urine can stimulate the trigone and make people feel the urge to urinate. Since the patient's attention is distracted during the day, the threshold of the urge to urinate increases, so the frequency of urination at night can be more significant. Some people urinate more than twice at night, some as many as 7-8 times, or even more than 10 times. They also have abnormal urination, such as waiting to urinate, dribbling urine, interrupted urination, urinary incontinence and other clinical manifestations. What's more, some people may have hematuria, urinary tract infection, and hydronephrosis.
