Detailed explanation-1: -What is nocturia? 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: -The typical functional bladder capacity is approximately 350 to 400 mL. Urine production at night is usually less than one-third of the total daily urine output. If the nocturnal urine volume exceeds this amount, the patient is deemed to have nocturnal polyuria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nocturia is the medical term for frequent urination at night. Nocturia is a symptom and not a diagnosis. Nocturia is defined as the number of urinations (or voids) that occur during a night’s sleep with each urination both preceded and followed by sleep.
