What many call “something normal with age” actually has a name: nocturia. It is a symptom that occurs when a person wakes up one or more times during the night to urinate. It not only disrupts sleep but also affects physical and emotional health. 😵💫
The main causes include:
🔸 Age-related hormonal changes
🔸 Excessive fluid intake at night
🔸 Prostate problems (in men)
🔸 Overactive bladder
🔸 Congestive heart failure
🔸 High-sodium diet or natural diuretics
🔸 Use of medications such as diuretics or sedatives
But there’s something that few consider and that’s easy to control: how you drink water. 💡
💧 Drinking Water Strategically: The Urologist’s Method
One of the biggest mistakes older adults make is drinking too little water during the day and trying to make up for it in the afternoon or evening. The result? A full bladder just when you most need to rest. 😓
Urologists recommend following this smart hydration routine:
🕕 From the moment you wake up until 4:00 p.m.
✔️ Drink between 70% and 80% of your daily water intake
✔️ Divide it into small glasses every hour
✔️ Don’t wait until you’re thirsty; that’s a sign of dehydration
