What happens when older people pee more at night?

What is the problem with nocturnal urination in the elderly? The normal number of nocturnal urination is 0 to 1. If nocturnal urination is greater than or equal to two, it is called nocturnal urination. For the elderly, nocturnal urination is relatively common. The common causes are prostatic hyperplasia and neurogenic bladder. For elderly women, the common causes may be neurogenic bladder and diabetes. In a few cases, it is caused by diabetes insipidus. Therefore, it is necessary to complete relevant tests to determine the cause and carry out corresponding treatment for the cause. Of course, symptomatic treatment can also be carried out, such as not drinking water after dinner. Drugs that inhibit excessive bladder activity can be taken orally, such as mirabelone. Drugs that reduce urine formation at night can also be taken orally, such as desmopressin.
