Have you ever had the experience of knowing that you are already lying in bed, visibly sleepy and about to fall asleep, but your brain suddenly sends you a "signal" that you want to urinate, so you begin to force patience, and finally you can't bear it, and finally get up to urinate.
And because of this urination, I completely lost my sleepiness and did not fall asleep until tens of minutes later!
In fact, this situation is very common in life, and most of them are related to personal psychological cues. After entering the sleep state, due to the gradual slowdown in the activity of various organs of the body, there is no food and water supplement all night, and then affected by water consumption such as breathing and sweating, so the number of urinations throughout the night will be rapidly reduced, only about 0-2 times.
However, some people have accidents, and the number of urinations on a certain night has increased abnormally, even more than 5 times, which not only makes their mood irritable, but also affects the quality of sleep.
And a casual search on the Internet, you will find that the increase in nocturia and various diseases are related, so you begin to panic, even worry that you are already sick.
But in fact, there are many factors that cause increased nocturia, and the following three aspects are considered:
1. Dietary influence: the amount of human urination is absolutely closely related to diet and drinking water. If you drink a lot of water during the day, or eat a lot of watery foods (fruits and vegetables with great moisture, coffee or strong tea), drink a lot of alcohol, etc., it may cause an increase in the frequency of nocturnal urination.
Because even if a person goes to sleep, the kidneys are constantly working, filtering the water in the blood and metabolic waste. When a large amount of water accumulates in the body, the amount of kidney filtration and discharge will naturally increase, resulting in an increase in the frequency of urinating throughout the night.
If there is an occasional increase in nocturia, there is no need for everyone to worry too much, which is likely to be the influence of physiological factors;
2, psychological factors affect: the limb activities of the human body, the operation of the digestive system, detoxification and metabolic system operation, in fact, are subject to the innervation of the brain center, the nervous system will receive and transmit signals.
However, the nerve center will also be affected by psychological effects, such as extremely high mental stress in recent days, sleep disorders (insomnia and early awakening), or have had the experience of bedwetting, which will affect the nervous system, resulting in increased nocturia, frequent urination and urgency;
3, disease factors: if the recent frequency of nocturia is extremely high, and from the diet and psychological aspects have not found the cause, the number of urine times throughout the night more than 3-5 times, lasting for many days has not improved, this may really be the manifestation of the arrival of the disease.
According to the data obtained by the clinic, if the patient has kidney disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, urinary tract infection, urinary malignant tumor, diabetes, prostate disease, gynecological disease, etc., it may cause an increase in the number of nocturia.
All in all, the frequent occurrence of nocturia is not necessarily a signal of the arrival of the disease, after all, the frequent nocturia is divided into two categories: physiological and pathological. Therefore, we should first find the cause from ourselves, exclude physiological factors, and then consider the disease.
In particular, nocturia lasts for many days, and patients should be vigilant and seek medical attention in time for relevant screening, so as not to miss the best time for diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
