What treatments are available for nocturia?
Nocturia can make you feel exhausted during the day if you’ve woken up several times during the night to go to the toilet. This can make it difficult to stay focused at work, do everyday tasks, or take part in activities that you usually like to do, such as going out with friends or doing hobbies.
Not getting enough sleep, or sufficient good quality sleep, can also make it harder for your body to fight off illnesses like colds and viruses.
Some people may find that their nocturia symptoms are mild and that they need minimal, if any, treatment for their condition. Others may find that their sleep is more significantly disturbed by their condition. The more times your sleep is disturbed, the more likely it is to have a negative impact on your daily life and overall well-being.
There are a variety of treatments available for nocturia. The treatment you receive will depend on the type and severity of your symptoms, whether they are caused by another medical condition that needs to be investigated and treated, and the impact your symptoms have on your life. Your past medical illnesses and procedures can influence which treatments you can access, as well as the country you live in, as not all treatments are available everywhere.
This chapter provides information about nocturia treatments for adults.
