Detailed explanation-1: -Nocturia is a condition that causes you to wake up during the night to urinate. This can be thought of as nocturnal urinary frequency-having to urinate more often at night. This condition becomes more common as people age and occurs in both men and women, sometimes for different reasons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nocturia is defined as the need for patients to get up at night on a regular basis to urinate. A period of sleep must precede and follow the urinary episode for it to count as a nocturnal void. Nocturia is often described as the most bothersome of all urinary symptoms and is also one of the most common.

Detailed explanation-3: -Producing excess urine at night, known as nocturnal polyuria, may be the most common cause of nocturia. It is estimated to be a contributing cause for up to 88% of cases. For some people, excess urine production occurs throughout the day and night.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is Nocturia? If you wake up more than one time each night to go to the bathroom, you may have nocturia. Sleep disruption from having to urinate during the night can impact your quality of life. About 1 in 3 adults over the age of 30 experience nocturia.
