I’m 67 and my night time urination frequency is directly tied to my daily activity. If I row, bike and run hard on a given day I sleep through the night like a baby . If I don’t workout at all I get up usually twice .

Waking during the night isn't necessarily caused by a need to pee. It can be normal to awaken during a lighter phase of sleep. Often we don't even realize that we've awaken since we fall right back to sleep. When we do actually wake up we will become aware of a need to pee, which might not necessarily be the cause of waking up. However, there are causes, as mentioned in the video and comments, where waking to urinate is related to something physiological. This is something that I've tried to sort out with a sleep specialist, but since I wake up usually only once per night I'm not that worried at the moment. (At my age, 63, an "all-nighter" is when I don't wake up during the night to pee. Very rare.)

One of the things I'm not seeing anyone talking about is the difference between waking up because you have to pee versus waking up and then feeling you have to pee. I thought the need to pee was what was actually waking me up, but then I made some corrections to help me sleep better (stress release, massage, timing, probiotics etc) and I slept through. Now I notice that if I wake up in the night, and I feel like peeing, I might still be able to just roll over and go back to sleep. BUT, if I can't fall back asleep right away, the need to pee becomes more and more urgent.

Just to complete this thought - using my Garmin watch, I can tell that on the nights I do not get up to pee, I have been sleeping much more deeply and often with more rem. So part of the solution, I think, is to do things to get you to sleep more deeply. Consequently, some of the comments below about cardio ... part of it (besides the sweat) may be the fact that it causes deeper sleep.

At 68, I am up to three times a night and started curtailing fluids after about 6pm long ago. My Dr for the last 25 years was pretty accurate in his prediction about how quickly that frequency would increase starting in my 50's. His math of about one more time per night every 5 years or so was pretty accurate . I take no medication or supplements for anything but after a suggestion by my Dr and reading about it online, I decided to try saw palmetto. Since about a week after I started I'm down to two times a night, consistently. I'll take it!

I am a 59-year-old female. In 2019, I had a surgery to remove a large, benign tumor from my pituitary gland. After that, I was prescribed Desmopressin Acetate nasal spray. Be informed- within 2 years, I was hospitalized for dangerously low sodium levels (118). That could have resulted in seizures or death. Under my endocrinologist’s supervision, I stopped cold turkey; that was hell week. After that, it took a year for things to normalize with my need to pee. I did start a bladder supplement from Naomi Whittel that helped me a lot. I can go places now without worrying about finding a bathroom. I hope this may help some others who have similar symptoms!🙏🏻

I have impaired sleep and I used to get up a few times a night. I changed my sleep schedule so now I go to bed around 9:45pm and get up around 6am. The result was that I get more deep sleep earlier in the night. Because of that, I still have the same impaired sleep, but I almost never need to get up to pee. I might have had to get up maybe once in the last 12 months, it is that rare. I am 59 years old. I suspect it is deep sleep increasing the release of vasopressin anti-diuretic hormone.

Limit fluid intake before bedtime Limit intake of mild diuretics (eg, caffeine, alcohol) especially several hours before sleep. Limit intake of highly seasoned foods Avoid constipation Loss Weight Kegel exercises when you feel the need to pee. Things to try: attempt to empty the bladder based on a time interval rather than by the usual sensations. urinate “by the clock” (every 90 to 120 minutes during the daytime) Try a second attempt at peeing within a minute or two of the initial void. Saw palmetto very likely does NOT work here are some that MAY work: beta-sitosterol Pumpkin seed oil Pygeum bark, Pine bark extract Pycnogenol lycopene Cranberry powders or extracts

I'm 41 and have had to pee at least 4 times a night, usually 5-6, at least since I was 18. (Yes, you read all that right.) This is true even though I've been taking imipramine nightly since 2016-when I run out of it before the next order has filled, I get up to pee more like 7-10 times a night. I have tried every behavioral modification in the book, including cutting out caffeine and alcohol entirely and "dehydrating" myself for many hours before sleep. I have kept intake and urination logs for long stretches, showing that I do not hydrate more than I should. My prostate is not enlarged, I don't have diabetes, I don't have sleep apnea, lab tests have found no hormonal issues, I am sexually healthy, I eat an incredibly healthy diet, I am lean, and I exercise 5-6 days a week. I have tried cognitive therapies specifically targeting the issue, as well as targeting anxiety that may be linked to my urinary frequency, but my urinary frequency has not decreased. Both general and specialist docs are baffled by how often I pee and have not been able to discover the root issue(s) or find a treatment plan that works. I shudder when I think about the years that never sleeping more than a couple hours in a row has probably taken off my life, or how much more present and energetic I would be during the day if I could cut my nightly urination frequency down even to just 3. Btw I need to pee a lot during the day, too, even when I drink so little that I feel dehydrated, but I can hold it for hours without much discomfort (and, at a urologist's recommendation, I often do this on purpose, in hopes of training my body to go longer without peeing). I also have issues, both at night and during the day, with incomplete emptying-sometimes I pee in the upstairs bathroom, go right downstairs, and promptly pee again in the downstairs bathroom. Other times I pee, wash my hands, and then realize I need to pee some more. I'm ready to try just about anything. Definitely going to find out more about the most recent generation of meds that Dr. Schaeffer mentions in the video.

My partner has never seen anyone like me lol- I have issues with being outside the house etc due to this. I had a bladder scan last year-all looked fine. Another doc said perhaps my IBS is causing pushing on my bladder

Measure the volume of your visits, you should be 350-500ml a go else you’re likely overactive bladder (“let me have a wee even though I don’t need one, just in case”). You’ve reset your bodies full switch.. I was able to increase volume and reduce frequency by safely holding it and slightly extending the visits. Easy to relapse though.

For all the women: For 20 + years I was peeing every hour during the day and up to 20 times at night. Went to urologist and he put a scope in and found out I had something pushing on my bladder. Turned out to be a very large fibroid on my ovary. I wasn’t interested in surgery or medication so I went the natural route and mixed castor oil with frankincense and massaged it every night on my lower abdomen. 2-3 months later I am no longer peeing so often. I pee 5-6 times a day now and never at night. Thought I’d share what worked for me.

I drink a lot of water too.I got an ultrasound and it didn’t see it. However , they can see how full your bladder is and then I would go pee and they could tell my bladder wasn’t completely empty afterwards. The gynaecologist found my fibroid by doing an internal examination. I also found if I wasn’t eating fairly healthy then my body wasn’t absorbing the water. Also, another thing I was told was to strengthen your “pee”muscles. Write down on a journal the times you pee. If it’s 7am, the first day hold it till 7:30am, the next day it would be 8am, etc. Hope this helps.

The top drugs within the alpha-blocker class, which are commonly used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and improve urinary symptoms, include: 1. Flomax (Tamsulosin): • Mechanism: Relaxes muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making urination easier. • Usage: Commonly prescribed for BPH. • Side Effects: Dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, and retrograde ejaculation. 2. Rapaflo (Silodosin): • Mechanism: Similar to Flomax, Rapaflo relaxes muscles in the prostate and bladder neck to improve urine flow. • Usage: Also commonly prescribed for BPH. • Side Effects: Retrograde ejaculation, dizziness, and low blood pressure. 3. Hytrin (Terazosin): • Mechanism: This alpha-blocker helps relax blood vessels and the muscles around the prostate, improving urine flow. • Usage: Used for both BPH and high blood pressure (hypertension). • Side Effects: Dizziness, fatigue, and fainting, especially when starting the medication. 4. Cardura (Doxazosin): • Mechanism: Similar to Terazosin, it relaxes both the bladder neck and the blood vessels, helping with BPH and lowering blood pressure. • Usage: Prescribed for BPH and hypertension. • Side Effects: Fatigue, dizziness, and risk of fainting due to low blood pressure. All four of these drugs work by relaxing the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck, which helps relieve urinary symptoms in men with BPH. The specific choice between them may depend on an individual’s health profile, tolerance to side effects, and whether they have additional conditions like hypertension that may benefit from these medications.

It’s not high insulin levels that lead to more urine, it’s high glucose in diabetics that the kidneys can’t retain, and it pulls more water with it. You could say it’s actually either the lack of enough insulin to lower the serum glucose, or the lack of insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetics.

Alfuzosin (Uroxatral) is not a prostate specific alpha blocker. It is used also as an antihypertensive similar to doxazosin and terazosin and carries the risk of orthostatic hypotension. The only two prostate specific alpha blockers are tamsulosin (Flomax) and silodosin (Rapaflo). Rapaflo has been out for over a decade now and is available in generic. Silodosin is slightly more potent than tamsulosin but also carries the side effect of retrograde ejaculation. The generic versions of Flomax and Rapaflo have slightly more orthostatic hypotension due to the fact that the drugs are not as clean as the branded version. Solifenacin (Vesicare), which Dr. Schaeffer mentioned is not an alpha blocker. It is an overactive bladder medication with anticholinergic side effects and should not be used men with enlarged prostate symptoms due to the anti-muscarinic effect, which can cause acute urinary retention.

"Yes, he said. Tiny Bladder." And so it's been over the decades. I've been checked twice, years apart, by urologists at different hospitals who could find nothing wrong. I have a 2 hour bladder fill and it is like clockwork where when I go I know it will be 2 hours when I wake up again with an urge to pee that can't be ignored. Taking a BP diuretic doesn't help either.

Im a 34 year old male, without significant prostate enlargement last time it was checked, but for many years now i have been waking up frequently 2 and sometimes 3 times to urinate during 1 sleep (6-8 hours) a good night for me is only 1 urination. 0 is unheard of. This bothered me for a while and i tried behavioural changes like reducing fluid intake after a certain time at night, and although i noticed obvious improvement, the issue still exists. I've started to believe that this is just normal for me. I also noticed others in my family also urinate frequently during the day (i work beside 2 family members) Really just wondering if this is normal or not, or if this is something i should further investigate. I would LOVE to sleep a full night without waking up, as ive been trying to improve my sleep quality for a long time, and i feel this waking to urinate effects that.

2 suggestions that weren't mentioned. They may help you as they helped me: 1) take a sauna in the evening. 20 minutes at 180 degrees will drain a substanial amount of fluid 2) 500mg sodium tablet before bed And in the food area, try to time your carbs to be eaten in the evening. A baked potato or white rice has an anti diuretic effect. Obviously, avoiding fluids in the evening is a must for these techniques to be maximally effective.

Had the same symptoms in my early 40s and lived with it for years with significant effects on my lifestyle. Stay away from antihistamines all types, Benadryl, Sudafed and such, they have a very significant effect on prostate enlargement and I think it was the basis for my very large prostate. I tried many homeopathic medications, Saw Palmetto and the like, all manner of the type mentioned in the video with very little effect. I relented and had a Urologist examination followed by Greenlight Laser surgery and got very good results. 20 or so years later I still have to avoid antihistamines, but otherwise no symptoms. So, if you have chronic symptoms that can't be controlled I would heartily recommend Greenlight Laser surgery,

67 year old. Have been getting up 3am every evening for at least 2 years. Had to go go within minutes of drinking a cup of anything. Always paid a visit before leaving anywhere. 4 weeks ago went to a a massage therapist who fixed my tension elbow in 10mins after 10 months of pain. I had muscle pain in my hip I needed seen to. She found a very tight muscle in my back which, when she was working on it, gave me a sensation in my bladder. From that day to this I have never had to get up and can go for hours before having to go for a pee. She said she had never heard of this happening. But it worked for me. 👍

Stop eating and drinking 4 hours before you go to sleep. You will sleep better. It takes 4 hours to digest your last meal. You want your body to switch from the digest phase to the rest and repair phase when you sleep. This will be much easier if you have not eaten or had anything to drink in those last 4 hours before bed. The quality of your sleep will improve and you will wake up more rested in the morning.

I started making my own sports drink when I picked up CrossFit three years ago. On the nights when my workout is later in the afternoon I wind up waking up many times to go to the bathroom. Tonight is the first night that I have not had the frequent need because I did not add the electrolyte in my workout water. The ratio of sodium to potassium in both electrolyte brands I have been taking are pretty much in the 1:2 and 1:3 range, which should not cause an imbalance problem even if they are not taken during exercise. Could it be that the potassium part of it is not getting absorbed in the cells thereby causing the imbalance that would require secretion of excess sodium?

Wow; this doc left out A LOT of information older folks need to know. If you have OSA, you need to treat it seriously. He did not make it clear how very helpful it can be. If you don't your brain doesn't slow urine production during your crappy light sleep. If you have congestive heart failure, you need to plan your diuretic dosage timing throughout the day going; get that fluid out before you lie flat and your circulatory system sends that fluid to your kidneys at night. DO NOT wear regular graduated compression hose to bed. TED hose are specific for inactivity. And you might not be able to get them on and off yourself so don't end up with them stuck on your legs. Your food matters as much as your drinks to reduce nocturia. Spicy food, acidic food (tomato, citrus) and very high water-content foods (watermelon, anyone?) will either increase urine production or make your bladder lining irritated, increasing that sense of needing to pee. Finally, learn how to get yourself back to sleep after you pee, or being awake will make your brain trigger more kidney filtration of your blood. And THAT is when you have to deal with optimizing your sleep environment, but also emotions around frustration and worry. I do lectures on this subject. Not a doc. But a clinician with training in both medicine and sleep therapy.

The Mechanism of Nocturia in patient with obstructive sleep apnea is mediated through the increased level of BNP at night. As patient get into airway obstructive phase of sleep the increased airway resistance lead to increased Intrathoracic pressure which in turn leads to increased left atrial pressure and this causes BNP level to rise and promote increased urine output., Nocturia from osa has high urine volume,where nocturia from prostate problem has low urine volume per void. By measuring night time urine volume we can have good idea of the cause. People with nocturia due to edema,most of them has osa which contribute to nocturia by it self.

One of the more serious and one of the most common causes of nighttime urination is Sleep Apnea. Indeed nighttime urination and strong thirst in the morning or during the night is a key symptom and almost diagnostic symptom of Sleep Apnea. Needless to say if you drink a lot of water prior to sleep, or take a diuretic you will likely need to urinate. If however its a persistent issue and you don't have some serious pathology try this - mix two tablespoons of flax seeds with water and quicky drink it - add more water as necessary. This will not only absorb all the water that you added to the flax-seeds but will absorb excess water in the duodenum and likely you kidneys wont have excess water to process and form urine. This video failed to mention Sleep Apnea - do some research. Other symptoms which may indicate Sleep Apnea may include, very dry lips, a very dry throat, light live blood in the mouth, loud snoring, disturbed sleep, your partner noticing that you stop breathing, difficulty in waking or even getting out of bed, and persistent exhaustion during the day. In more serious cases the endocrine system is disturbed and you might experience wild fluctuations in heart rate and blood pressure which may be triggered by caffeine and fluctuations in body temperature. Besides resolution of metabolic dysfunction and weight loss - sleeping on your side and stopping mouth breathing at night can resolve most if not all of these issues. CPAC machines are IMHO largely unnecessary and other interventions are far easier, less intrusive and far less costly.

For me, at ~15 years older, some kind of sweat before bed is mandatory. Usually I do my one hour of Zone 2 on the elliptical 3x per week starting sometime between 10 and 10:30 at night which works up a good sweat. Other nights, I'll do a Zone 0-1 light exercise that still makes me sweat, or use my wet sauna. People say you shouldn't do cardio before bed, but I find it makes my sleep better, and urinate less, and get back to sleep faster if I do have to get up. Timing of fluid intake makes no difference for me. I'll generally stop drinking water at 6 pm, just on principle. But it means nothing if I don't sweat.

Yes! This. There is definitely a link between sleep apnea and nocturia.

It would help if you printed/show the spelling of all the drugs you name.

When Dr. Attia's guest repeatedly uses the phrase 'behavior modification' in the setting of an academic urology clinic, I begin to wonder is he, for example, simply informing the patient that liquid intake before bed contributes to nocturia expecting patient behavior to change or are their staff to help guide the patient. The Northwestern University Urology Program (lead by Dr. Schaeffer) website doesn't mention these simple measures instead focusing on a myriad of procedures.

Yes. Behavior modification is first-line "treatment" and is about what you can do to mitigate symptoms without medication or, forbid, surgery. Behavior modification includes: fluid in take restriction training, diet modification, PT and even cognitive training. This ofcourse, happens if you've ruled out other possibilities like diabetes or sleep apnea. They see how behavioral modification goes, and then you can decide, with the Urologist, whether medication is necessary if symptoms continue to be persistent or bothersome.

I have to get up once a night. I know it's because I drink too many fluids right up till the time I go to bed. I also know that in enlarged prostate can exacerbate this because you don't empty your bladder out completely.

I used to have this problem. I think it was because I had the habit of peeing to often during the day. I used to pee every 2 hours, so naturally I would wake up 2-3 times during the night as well.
