Understanding Nocturia-How to stop late night bathroom visits

Excessive Urination at night-Nocturia

IMPORTANT FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE Nocturia Nocturia means that passing urine at night is a symptom of heart failure, not bladder. Renowned doctor in Shivpuri, Dr. Bansal explains that nocturia is actually a symptom of blockage of blood flow to the heart and brain. Adults and the elderly suffer the most because they have to get up frequently during the night to urinate.

The Myth that Drinking excessive water causes Nocturia

Elderly people avoid drinking water before going to bed at night for fear of sleep disturbance. They think that if they drink water, they will have to get up and urinate repeatedly. What they don't know is that not drinking water before bed or after urinating at night is an important cause of frequent heart attacks or strokes in adults and the elderly.

The Myth that Nocturia is a bladder dysfunction

Actually nocturia is frequent urination not a problem of bladder dysfunction. This is because the heart function of the elderly decreases with age, as the heart is no longer able to pump blood from the lower parts of the body.

In such a situation during the day when we are standing, the blood flow is more downwards. When the heart is weak, the blood supply to the heart becomes insufficient and puts pressure on the lower body. That is why adults and the elderly suffer from swelling in the lower part of the body during the day. Sleeping at night relieves the pressure on the lower body and thus accumulates a lot of water in the tissues. This water returns to the blood. If there is too much water, the kidneys have to work harder to separate the water and push it out of the bladder.

It is one of the main causes of nocturia. So it's usually three or four hours between when you go to bed and when you wake up and go to the toilet for the first time. After that, if the amount of water in the blood starts to increase again, after three hours you have to go to the toilet again.

Nocturia may cause brain stroke or heart attack?

Now, the question arises : Why is it an important cause of brain stroke or heart attack?

The answer is that there is lesser water in the blood after two or three urinations. Breathing also reduces body water. This causes the blood to thicken and thicken and slows down the heart rate during sleep. Narrowed blood vessels are easily blocked due to thick blood and slow blood flow... This is why adults and elderly people are always seen having heart attacks or strokes between 5-6 am. In this condition, they die in their sleep.

First of all, everyone should know that nocturia is not a bladder defect. It is an ageing problem. Another thing to tell everyone is to drink warm water before going to sleep, and again after urinating at night.

Do not fear Nocturia

Do not fear nocturia. Drink lots of water because not drinking water can kill you.

The third thing is that to increase the performance of the heart, more exercise should be done at normal times.

The human body is not a machine that deteriorates with overuse, rather the more it is used, the stronger it becomes.

Avoid unhealthy foods, especially high starch and fried foods.

Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight and managing stress can be beneficial. By Understanding Nocturia holistically we lead to changing our lifestyle and understanding our bodies well.
