Men urinate frequently at night

Frequent urination means an increase in the number of urinations. There are many reasons for this symptom. If it occurs during the day, it will not affect normal life very much. But if frequent urination occurs at night, it will have a great impact on men. In this case, it is necessary to find out the cause and treat the symptoms. So, what is the reason for men to urinate frequently at night? Let's take a look.

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 increased urine volume 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 feel the urge to urinate even when their bladder is slightly full. 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 pathological change.

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

Although frequent urination at night is a symptom of cystitis, there are many other diseases that can cause frequent urination at night in men. Therefore, when people experience frequent urination at night, they should first go to a regular specialist hospital for examination and diagnosis.
