Going far more often than you used to, or feeling you always need to know where the restroom is, is worth a visit, especially when it changes your work or plans.
Nighttime urination (nocturia)
Getting up to urinate twice or more each night is called nocturia. Broken sleep adds up, and it is a fair reason to come in.
What can be behind it?
An overactive bladder, a urinary infection, diabetes, an enlarged prostate in men, menopause changes in women, and plenty of caffeine or fluid can all play a part. Atrial fibrillation and some heart medicines can also make you urinate more. We look at the whole picture rather than guessing from one symptom.
What we do at your visit
We ask about your fluids, habits and medicines, examine you, and usually test a urine sample. Noting your drinks and bathroom visits for several days before you come helps a great deal.
Where treatment can go from here
The plan follows the cause: see bladder control and overactive bladder care or enlarged prostate treatment at our Roswell office.
What treatments are there for overactive bladder?
Many people start with bladder training and cutting back on caffeine, alcohol and spicy foods, and medicines are the next step for some. If those don’t help enough, Advanced Urology offers bladder Botox, sacral nerve stimulation (InterStim) and the Altaviva tibial implant, which our urologists explain at your visit.
