Surgery for nocturia

Surgery is rarely needed for nocturia. It’s usually only considered if another problem - such as an enlarged prostate or bladder blockage - is causing your symptoms.

This chapter contains general information about treatment options for nocturia. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment. Always consult your doctor or healthcare provider for guidance on your individual medical situation.
