Nocturia, or waking at night to urinate, has multiple causes like increased urine production or reduced bladder storage. It significantly impacts quality of life and increases fall risk, especially in older adults.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gerontology
  • Sleep Medicine

Context:

  • Nocturia is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated.
  • It affects individuals across all age groups, but is more prevalent in the elderly.
  • Often perceived as a normal part of aging, nocturia is a significant medical condition.

Purpose:

  • To define nocturia and explore its multifactorial etiology.
  • To highlight the underestimation of nocturia's impact by patients and physicians.
  • To emphasize the importance of tailored treatments based on underlying causes.

Summary:

  • Nocturia involves waking to void, stemming from issues like polyuria or decreased bladder capacity.
  • This condition is common in the elderly but affects all ages.

  • It is linked to increased risks of falls, impaired sleep, and mortality.

    • Impact:
