Waking up multiple times during night to urinate is termed as [[Nocturia]].

Overview

Waking up multiple times during night to urinate is termed as Nocturia. It can be caused by simple increased fluid intake, as consequence of other medical illness or intrinsically overactive bladder. If a patients presents with night time increase urine frequency ask him about his intake of fluids, cardiovascular factors (like hypertension, diabetes, obesity, heart failure) , sleep ( restless leg, OSA ), and patient is an old women menopause can be a contributing factor. It isn't a medical emergency but by simple life style changes and treatment of comorbidities patient can feel better. But if not treated properly it can result in fatigue, memory deficits, depression, increased risk of heart disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and, at times, traumatic injury through falls. Waking up multiple times disturb sleep and healthy sleep is important for a healthy body and active life.[1]Nocturia without underlying medical conditions is called as Nocturnal Polyuria syndrome and is thought be the result of impaired circadian release of endogenous arginine vasopressin. The synthetic form of vasopressin like desmopressin is used for the treatment of Nocturia.[2]

Causes

Common Causes

  • Hormonal imbalance which may leads to:
    • Global polyuria
    • Nocturnal polyuria
  • Vesical problems which includes bladder storage disorders:
    • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
    • Neurogenic bladder dysfunction
    • Learned voiding dysfunction
    • Anxiety disorders
Common Factors[3][4] Diseases Associated with Nocturia
Old Age Men: BPH

Women: Interstitial cystitis, menopause, bladder prolapse, pelvic organ prolapse

Endocrine Diabetes Mellitus, diabetes insipidus, High blood pressure.
Cardiovascular Congestive heart failure, Heart disease, vascular disease, Edema in the lower limbs, or leg swelling
Genito-urinary Bladder obstruction (stones), inflammation, or other problems that affect bladder capacity (like bladder surgery or fibrosis from radiation), Overactive bladder symptoms, Prostate obstruction, Vaginal prolapse, Menopause, Childbirth, Reduced bladder capacity, Interstitial cystitis
Sleep disorders insomnia, sleep apnea, Restless leg syndrome
Timing or dose of medicines Diuretic medicine (water pills), cardiac glycosides, demeclocycline, lithium, methoxyflurane, phenytoin, propoxyphene, and excessive vitamin D
uricosuric agents Increase and night time caffeine or alcohol Intake
Renal CKD, Infections, hypercalcemia, kidney stones
Hepatic hepatic failure
CNS Parkinson Disease, stroke, neurogenic bladder, Multiple sclerosis
psychiatirc anxiety disorders, learned voiding dysfunction, psychogenic polydipsia
Gastrointestinal certain pancreatic cancer

    Treatment

    Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the treatment of Nocturia according the guidelines.[5][6][7]

     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Start with Conservative Treatment:

    - First, educate the patient about the nature of his disease by drawing flowcharts or simple diagrams.

    - Restrict fluid intake at night.

    - avoid sugary food and coffee before bedtime

    -Manage the use of diuretics

    -If previous illness leads to nocturia, then treating that illness will surely help. It's important to treat diabetes, an enlarged prostate (BPH), congestive heart failure, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and/or high blood pressure. Changing the timing and dose of prescribed medication may also help sometimes. Always look into the patient's previous records.

    -Scheduled voiding at timed intervals, varying from 15 min to 1 h, based on the patient’s own frequency or incontinence intervals

    - Make a record of their voiding during day and night.

    -Do pelvic muscle strengthening exercises (contracting pelvic floor muscles) to suppress urgency.

    -Elastic compression stockings prevent fluid build-up. So the use of compression stockings can be helpful.
