What s going on with frequent toilet trips at night

Frequent urination at night is mostly kidney deficiency, and you are generally afraid of cold, so prescribe some Chinese medicine to recuperate!

Frequent waking up at night, increased urine output at night, medically called nocturia.

Increased nocturia is neither a normal physiological phenomenon nor a physiological need, but a potential pathological manifestation.

A normal adult can filter up to 180 liters of raw urine through the kidneys every 24 hours, and only 1% of the urine excreted per day is 1Around 8 liters. While 9 9 % of urine is mainly concentrated and diluted by the kidneys, most of the raw urine is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream by the kidneys.

The manifestation of renal dysfunction is a decrease in concentration function, a large amount of raw urine can not be reabsorbed, and there is a phenomenon of excessive urine. When people eat and drink during the day, this water is absorbed into the blood through the gastrointestinal tract, and the water content in the body reaches a peak at night, resulting in increased nocturia. Elderly people with hypertension and diabetes should check whether their kidney function is in the normal range in time when they have increased nocturia, so as not to delay the condition.

Prostatic hyperplasia can also cause symptoms of increased nocturia, after suffering from prostatic hyperplasia, the main symptom of the patient is dysuria and progressive worsening, and frequent urination is the earliest symptom. Due to the increase in resistance to urination caused by prostatic hyperplasia, the detrusor muscle of the bladder must contract excessively to complete the process of urination, resulting in compensatory hypertrophy of the detrusor muscle. The bladder triangle is the most sensitive area of the bladder, and is the earliest site of compensatory hypertrophy, so a very small amount of urine can stimulate the triangle area, so that people have the desire to urinate, because the patient is distracted during the day, the threshold of the desire to urinate is increased, so the frequency of urination at night can be more significant.

Some people have more than 2 times of nocturia, some people have as many as 7-8 times, or even more than 10 times, and there will be abnormal urination, such as waiting for urination, urine dripping, urine interruption, urinary incontinence and other clinical manifestations, and even worse, hematuria, urinary tract infection, hydronephrosis, etc.

Therefore, if the frequency or volume of urine increases in nocturia, it is important not to be careless, because this is an early sign of the occurrence of certain diseases, and you should seek medical attention in time. Don't think that increased nocturia is not painful or itchy, you can eat and sleep, there is no big problem. It is better to treat diseases as soon as possible, and prevent diseases as early as possible.
