Episode notes
Enlarged Prostate Often Underlies Nocturia
- Enlarged prostate commonly causes incomplete bladder emptying, increasing frequency and nighttime urination.
- Up to ~50% of men over 50 and ~80% by age 70 have prostate enlargement that can change voiding patterns.
Stop Fluids Two Hours Before Bed
- Stop drinking about two hours before bed and take nighttime pills with only a sip of water to reduce nocturia.
- Minimize evening food and hydrate during the day so you don't over-drink in the evening.
Cut Evening Caffeine And Alcohol First
- Avoid bladder irritants like caffeine and alcohol in the evening and trial removing spicy foods, citrus, tomato products, or artificial sweeteners.
- Remove one or two items at a time to see if frequency improves, then reintroduce if not helpful.
