What should men do if they urinate frequently at night?

Many men have frequent urination, especially at night, which really makes it difficult for them to rest. We know that under normal circumstances, a normal adult urinates 4 to 6 times a day and 0 to 2 times at night after going to bed; if it is too frequent, it may be that the body is in a sub-healthy state and needs attention. So, what should men do if they urinate frequently at night? Let's learn about it through the following article.

1. Increased urine volume: When urine volume increases, the frequency of urination will also increase accordingly. Under physiological conditions, such as drinking a lot of water, eating watermelon, and drinking beer, due to the increase in water intake, through the regulation and filtering of the kidneys, the urine volume increases, the frequency of urination also increases, and frequent urination occurs. Under pathological conditions, such as some patients with diabetes and diabetes insipidus who drink a lot of water, have a lot of urine, and urinate a lot, but they do not feel uncomfortable urinating.

2. Inflammatory stimulation: When there is inflammation in the bladder, the urinary center is in an excited state, resulting in frequent urination and reduced urine volume. Therefore, frequent urination is an important symptom of cystitis, especially acute cystitis and tuberculous cystitis. Other diseases such as prostatitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, chronic penile capitis in children, vulvitis, etc. can also cause frequent urination. Under the stimulation of inflammation, frequent urination, urgency, and pain often occur at the same time, which is called urinary tract irritation, commonly known as "three urine symptoms".

3. Non-inflammatory irritation: such as urinary tract stones and foreign bodies, usually with frequent urination as the main manifestation.

4. Reduced bladder capacity: such as bladder space-occupying lesions, pressure from an enlarged uterus during pregnancy, tuberculous bladder contractions, or larger bladder stones.

5. Psychoneural urinary frequency: Frequent urination only occurs during the day or before going to sleep at night. It is often caused by mental tension or hysteria. It may also be accompanied by urinary urgency and pain.

4. Those with serious conditions can go to the hospital for consultation.
