It is found that normal adults urinate 0~2 times at night, and the urine volume is 300~400 ml, which is actually equivalent to a quarter or a third of the total urine volume of the human body in one day. If you urinate more at night and urinate more than during the day, it is very likely that you have nocturia. There are three main reasons for nocturia.
I. Nephrotic polyuria
When renal function declines, the body can't excrete the toxic substances after metabolism in time during the day, so it will excrete at night, which will cause the symptoms of nocturia, which is also called renal insufficiency and nocturnal compensatory polyuria in medicine.
Two. Drainage polyuria
If there is excess water in your body, you suffer from heart failure. After falling asleep at night, there will be an increase in blood volume and renal blood flow, which will easily lead to an increase in nocturia.
3. Neuropolyuria
Frequent insomnia or neuropsychiatric instability can also lead to an increase in nocturia, mostly caused by an increase in the number of nocturia, with little change in urine volume.
There are many reasons for the increase of nocturia, in addition to the above three factors, it is also related to the amount of drinking water before going to bed and the treatment stage of diuretics. Health is the capital of revolution. If you find yourself or your family members have increased nocturia, you'd better go to the hospital for a formal examination.
How many times do you pee at night?
Wang, director of urology department of Shanxi Medical University, said in an interview with Health Times: The frequency of urination at night is greater than or equal to two times, and the urine volume is greater than 500 ml, and the incidence rate will gradually increase with age.
In addition, Professor Hu Dayi, a famous cardiovascular expert, said that whether nocturia increases or not can also be detected according to the standard of 10 ml/kg body weight proposed by Japanese experts. For example, for a person weighing 60 kg, the amount of nocturia should be below 600 ml. Exceeding this standard is a sign of nocturia.
The increase of nocturia not only affects the normal work and rest of human body, but also may cause diseases such as prostate, diabetes, renal insufficiency, heart failure, hypercalcemia, diabetes insipidus and so on, which seriously harms human health.
Teach you a few tricks to get rid of the trouble of getting up often at night.
With the growth of old people's age, their legs and feet will gradually become clumsy. If you add nocturia, it is easy to fall down when urinating at night. Therefore, both the elderly and young people should try to reduce the number and frequency of urination at night, ensure the quality of sleep and reduce accidents. If you want to get rid of nocturia, you can adopt the following methods.
1. Eat less salt
Professor Derek Iverson of Bristol University in England found that eating less salt can reduce the number of times you get up at night. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone try to eat a light dinner and reduce the intake of high-protein food. According to the dietary guidelines of China residents 20 16, the daily salt intake of adults should be less than 6g.
2. levator ani exercise
The elderly are more likely to suffer from nocturia than young people, mainly because the pelvic floor muscles of the elderly gradually relax, the bladder sphincter contracts and the elasticity decreases with age. Less urine will produce a strong sense of urine.
Therefore, the elderly can do levator ani exercise to reduce the number of nocturia. The movement of levator ani should be forced to inhale and retract for 3 seconds, and then breathe and relax for 3 seconds, preferably once in the morning and evening, and repeated for 5 ~ 10 minutes each time.
3. Guilai point
Acupoint massage can also relieve nocturia to some extent. Guilai point has the effects of invigorating the middle energizer, warming the abdomen and nourishing qi. Before going to bed, put your hands under your abdomen and massage alternately clockwise and counterclockwise with your index finger abdomen. The strength should be even and gentle, so that the abdomen feels a little better. Massage 1~2 times a day for 2~3 minutes each time can effectively treat the symptoms of nocturia.
Soak your feet
The kidney meridian starts from the first step. Soaking feet before going to bed has a warming effect on the kidney meridian, which can stimulate the kidney meridian to promote blood circulation, help improve the quality of sleep and reduce the number of nocturia.
Nocturnal urination brings a lot of inconvenience to people's lives and also seriously affects their health. When nocturia occurs, it needs timely treatment to avoid serious consequences.
