nocturie
Nocturie, commonly referred to as nocturia in medical literature, is the need to wake during the night to urinate after going to bed. It is a symptom, not a disease, and can affect sleep quality and daytime functioning. Nocturie is common in adults and becomes more prevalent with age; estimates vary, but many individuals experience one or more awakenings at night for urination.
Causes are typically categorized into nocturnal polyuria (excess urine production at night), reduced nocturnal bladder capacity
Evaluation involves thorough history and physical, review of medications, and a bladder diary recording fluid intake
Management focuses on underlying causes and symptom relief. Behavioral and lifestyle measures include limiting evening fluids,
