Nocturia: Overview, Causes and Treatment

Many urologic diseases or conditions are more likely to develop as you get older, but some affect people of all ages. Nocturia, often known as nocturnal polyuria, is one example.

Nocturia can make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep and is caused by several factors. While nocturia can be a symptom of more severe issues if left untreated, it is also easily treatable — especially with the right homeopathic remedy for nocturia.

What is it?

If you experience excessive urination at night, usually when you are trying to sleep, you might have nocturia. People can generally sleep for 6 to 8 hours without needing to go to the bathroom. This is because our bodies create less urine while we sleep. Nocturia patients, however, wake up two or more times during the night to pee. Sleep disruption can have a negative impact on other aspects of the patient’s life and make staying up during the day more challenging.

Causes

Nocturia can be caused by a variety of medical disorders, including:

      Polyuria: Urinating in abnormally large amounts

      Bladder issues: An overactive bladder (OAB), cystocele (fallen or prolapsed bladder), or bladder cancer

      Prostate issues: Prostatitis (prostate infection) or prostate cancer

      Neurological disorders: Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), or spinal cord compression

Lifestyle factors can also cause nocturia. It can be caused by something as simple as drinking too much water before going to bed and medications used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), such as diuretics, also called water pills. Other causes include urinary tract infection (UTI), kidney infection (pyelonephritis), diabetes, anxiety, edema, and sleep apnea. Nocturia can also be an early indicator of pregnancy.

Treatment

As mentioned before, you can consider homeopathy in Orlando to treat nocturia. The best homeopathic remedies for nocturia include Equisetum Hyemale, Cantharis, Mercurius Corrosivus (Merc Cor), Apis Mellifica, Sarsaparilla, Lycopodium, Creosote, and Staphysagria.

Nocturia treatment may also include a change in one’s lifestyle. Limiting liquids before bedtime, taking afternoon naps, and wearing compression socks are all good places to start.
