If you're finding yourself waking up multiple times per night to go pee, you could be at risk of multiple health conditions. Nocturia = waking to pee, is something that most men just become used to and accept as normal life. Although waking up once per night is normal as you get older, waking up 2-4 times per night to urinate isn't, and this condition can start to negatively impact your life. This video covers the reasons leading to your nocturia and overactive bladder at night and then finishes with 8 steps you can try today to start reducing the number of times you wake up at night. This is going to help you improve your overall health, your bladder health and it will help you to get better better sleep.
In this video I go through fluid diaries, strengthening your pelvic floor muscles, decreasing swelling in your legs and feet, limiting consumption to diuretics and so much more to help you stop the habit of waking multiple times per night.

I’m been waking up to pee since my “20”s and am now 73 and still wake the same way and I’m pretty healthy and extremely active!

@prettygirlus9008 9 ай бұрын

Started at about 40 for me, now I'm 60. 5 or 6 times a night, from about as little as 10oz. to as much as over a half gallon. My PCP has prescribed a few different meds, but nothing has worked other then despmopressin which has reduced urination to 3 - 4 times per night on most nights. I'm fine during the day. I've eliminated sweets, but eat three pieces of fruit everyday. No alcohol. No fluids after 4:00, and minimal fluids during the day.

Your introduction was 3:32 minutes long. You might get more people to watch your entire video if you cut your introductions by half. But once you finally started to get to the point you did a great job. Nothing mean is intended. I for one was saying to myself "get on with it already".

Another tiip - try to time your bowel movements so that you are empty before you go to sleep. This fecal matter can impinge and press on the bladder causing it to cramp and contract. Not a total cure but it helps somewhat.

I am waking and peeing at least 3 times a night. Been trying to reduce liquids after 6 PM at night. Will see if that helps.

I wake at night not to pee but just wake up every 3 hours I have for years. I figure well I'm awake and might as well pee. My bladder I think is sensitive because I never pee a lot when I do get up. Thanks for the tips I will give them a try. I had Prostate cancer years ago and went through Proton therapy and prostrate PSA's are very low.

Thanks for these tips Dr. Eric! I work at night so my sleep time is during the day and opposite more normal people; usually have to get up 4 or more times during my sleep time. I also have the CPAP machine for apnea and have to take medication for High Blood Pressure. My question is: Do you think childhood bedwetting/wearing a diaper till age of 7 would have any bearing on later life problems such as polyuria/nocturia?

@DrEricLeckie Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment. Look, this is more of a question for a Urologist however in terms of your pelvic floor involvement, it would be unlikely in most cases for your childhood bed wetting to carry over and cause polyuria. Have you had blood work completed lately and if so, how were your levels?

@bjlong5204 10 ай бұрын

I do. My work with kids revealed a huge number to be having swings of blood sugar and allergies including holding water. If they stoke their sensitivity with sugar etc they swell and then release water to blood stream in night leading to refilling bladder. Many struggle with wetting bed. Benadryl an help to ID. Do Elimination Diet.

After one horrible migraine ended up in hospital bc suspected seizure. Therefore very important i dont sleep with any lights on. I migraine can bring them on. Ive had 2 even when heavier they are quite dangerous have to be mindful of falls. I noticed yesterday I could actually cope without a dinner. I'm quite thin 5 stone 8 and get bullied glared as I made food as my 5kg gain was lean so got slimmer. People just need to accept me for who I am at this stage. Also seem to be fortunate enough to raise family because of very petite stature so only a bit to gain. All positive. I was only eating for comfort really need to just eat in a different place at a different time. I was eating late to avoid people but they were jealous id remained lean despite weight gain and made me uncomfortable. Then the weight was lost again. Hit lows of 31kgs.
