Nocturia is a condition that causes a person to wake up several times during the night and go to bed. It usually affects the elderly, but now medical experts are warning that it can affect young people as well.
The analysis of the European Association of Urology (EAU) on studies conducted in different periods, shows that this disease often affects the elderly, especially men, It is a disease that affects at least 63% to 93% of people over the age of 70, due to the fact that the bladder at that age has lost the ability to store urine for a long time.
There is research on this disease that shows that the fact that elderly men are affected by it, is related to the fact that they are the most affected by the disease that causes their manhood to swell (Prostatic Hyperplasia), which causes them to urinate less or avoid coming.
This also results in them going to urinate when they feel like it, but they spend a lot of time waiting to urinate, which makes them go more often.
In addition to the elderly, others who are still in their early years can be affected by this disease due to various reasons including drinking alcohol that is harmful to their bodies and drinking it in the hours before going to bed.
A general practitioner who spoke to The Guardian, GP. Al-Zubaidi, has warned that among the victims of this disease and to give him treatment, there is a large number of males and females in their 20s and 30s. According to a study conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics on 13,294 people in the United States, 32% of those in their 20s had nocturia that woke them up. at least two or three times a night they go to bed.
This study also revealed that the disease was prevalent among those who spent five hours a day or more watching television, and their risk of developing the disease increased by 48% compared to others.
They also pointed out that those who spend a lot of time watching television are often also drinking various drinks, which leads to the need to go to bed several times a night.
Females suffering from Nocturia may be affected by other problems which include parts of their genital organs losing their ability to work properly so that they lose the will to have sex, or even have pain during that activity.
Nocturia also has various negative effects on the sufferer, including fatigue and sleepiness during working hours.
This disease affects them and can put them at risk of developing mental illness and severe depression. There are also those who are affected by ‘infections’ that take the genitals, especially in the urinary tract, due to the fact that the bladder is full of urine, but the person would stop urinating and prevent it from coming or there is very little.
A person suffering from nocturia has other diseases such as diabetes and heart disease that can make him sleepy, and he may even find himself hungry and an adult.
It is not always possible to treat nocturia for reasons including old age, but if you get it at any age, you may have to stop drinking for hours. It’s almost night when you go to bed.
