Men urinate frequently at night

Under normal circumstances, the frequency of urine metabolism is proportional to the amount of water you drink every day. When you increase your drinking water, the frequency of urine metabolism will increase. However, some people in daily life always need to stand up to urinate at night, even if they don't drink a lot of water before going to bed. This will still happen. At this time, you need to be alert to some symptoms. Generally speaking, ordinary people urinate 1-2 times at night, and the average total output of frequent urination at night is 500ml, which is about one-third of the daily urination of ordinary people. So, what is the reason for frequent urination at night?

What is the reason for frequent urination at night?

1. Diabetes

Diabetics have abnormal glycogen metabolism. When blood sugar levels are low, the blood will be in a state of hyperosmosis and high viscosity for a long time, which will affect the renal tubules. If diabetes is not well controlled, it will also cause diabetic nephropathy, which will damage the renal tubule aorta, thereby affecting the urine concentration capacity, and the patient will have symptoms of frequent urination at night.

Therefore, frequent urination at night needs to be taken seriously to see if your blood sugar level is abnormal. If it is caused by diabetes, you need to control your blood sugar level in time and pay attention to diet.

2. Prostatitis

Prostatitis refers to a prostate disease caused by a variety of complex reasons, with urethral irritation and chronic pelvic pain as the main clinical symptoms. According to surveys, nearly half of men suffer from prostatitis. Prostatitis is divided into bacterial infection and non-bacterial prostatitis. After the disease, it is easy to have a variety of adverse symptoms, such as swelling of the lower body, urination difficulties, lower abdominal pain, etc. In more serious cases, it will also reduce male sexual function and affect fertility.

Moreover, some patients with prostatitis will also have frequent urination and polyuria, and sometimes need to stand up to urinate several times at night. Therefore, if men have frequent urination and polyuria, they should be alert to prostatitis.

3. Nephritis

Nephritis is a group of kidney diseases that are mediated by immunity and involve immune molecules, ultimately causing inflammatory changes in kidney tissues and resulting in varying degrees of kidney function decline. In clinical medicine, nephritis is a common kidney disease. After suffering from nephritis, the patient's kidney function is inflamed. If not treated in time, it is easy to cause damage to kidney function, and the development trend reaches the late stage, and the degree of damage is high. Nephritis may affect the patient's urine extraction ability, resulting in an increase in urine volume at night, and the patient needs to stand up to urinate several times. Therefore, if you suffer from nephritis, you need to actively seek treatment and start anti-inflammatory treatment in time.

In short, frequent urination at night, after eliminating the objective reasons, may be related to the above three symptoms. These symptoms are all harmful to health and need to be treated closely and do a good job of medical care. Of course, if the frequent urination at night is caused by drinking too much water every day, you need to control the amount of water you drink every day. But it is not recommended to drink too much water before going to bed to prevent edema the next day, and frequent urination at night is easy to cause fever and cold.
