What is the disease that causes men to urinate frequently at night? What diseases are they a sign of?

Usually, frequent urination at night occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, or women during pregnancy. This is normal, but if young people now have the phenomenon of frequent urination at night, what is going on?

1: Signals sent by the disease.

1. Urogenital tract diseases. Prostatic hyperplasia, chronic nephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, polyuria in acute renal failure, etc. in the elderly can all lead to increased nocturia. The most common clinical condition is prostatic hyperplasia in the elderly.

2. Endocrine diseases. For diabetes, polydipsia, polyphagia and polyuria are typical symptoms; diabetes insipidus, primary aldosteronism, etc. can also cause polyuria.

2: Manifestations of functional decline in all aspects.

1. Kidney aging. As we age, our kidneys also age. Both the glomeruli and renal tubules undergo degenerative changes, and after the age of 65, the degeneration of the renal tubules is particularly obvious. The renal tubules are where urine is concentrated. If the renal tubular function degenerates, the water flowing through the renal tubules cannot be effectively reabsorbed into the blood, so the amount of urine naturally increases. This is the main cause of increased nocturia.

2. The detrusor muscle of the bladder atrophies in the elderly, resulting in decreased contractility and residual urine, which reduces the actual capacity of the bladder and increases the frequency of urination at night. The dysfunction of the nervous system regulation in the elderly can easily cause psychogenic polyuria, leading to increased nocturia.

Most normal and healthy men will not get up to urinate at night. Some may have nocturia, but not more than twice. If you find that you have nocturia more than twice, you need to actively seek medical help to see what is wrong with your body.
