Nocturia is complex, but a few simple adjustments can help you manage the problem, whatever its cause. www.yafferuden.com /html/nightime_urination.html   (1716 words)

ETIOLOGY OF NOCTURIA: RELATIONSHIP TO NOCTURNAL BLADDER CAPACITY AND DETRUSOR INSTABILITY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) While we have recently proposed methods to quantify parameters of nocturia, the relationship of such parameters to the presence or absence of a urodynamic diagnosis of detrusor instability and to changes in nocturnal bladder capacity has not been previously explored. The etiology of nocturia cannot be discerned through a diagnosis of detrusor instability derived from awake urodynamic studies. However, nocturia owing to diminished nocturnal bladder capacity may be diagnosed and quantitated by NBCi and NBC, parameters easily gleaned from a simple arithmetic analysis of the 24 hour voiding diary. www.continet.org /publications/2000/Read/DIAGNOSTIC%20TECHNIQUES/360.htm   (565 words)

The phase 3 trials included 4325 men with BPH enrolled in 1 of 3 multicentre, 4-year, double-blind trials of dutasteride 0.5 mg versus placebo once daily, with an additional 2 years of open-label treatment, in which all patients were given the option to continue on dutasteride.

SSRI treatment increases nocturia frequency   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) "In a previous study we found that major depression was associated with a six-fold increase in nocturia in men and a three-fold increase in women, after age and health had been taken into account," report Ragnar Asplund (Huddinge University Hospital, Sweden) and colleagues. The researchers note, however, that they were unable to determine from this whether the condition arises as a result of the depression, the use of SSRI antidepressants, or both factors. Importantly, however, after taking age and depression into account, taking SSRI medication was associated with a two-fold increase in the likelihood that an individual would need to get up more than two times in the night to go to the toilet. www.psychiatrysource.com /psychsource/News/article1551.htm   (388 words)

AUA: Darifenacin Hydrobromide Combats Nocturia in Overactive Bladder Patients   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- May 12, 2004 -- An investigational agent appears to be able to reduce one of the most bothersome symptoms associated with overactive bladder -- the need to get up in the middle of the night to urinate. Researchers said that a phase 3 study of the investigative muscarinic-3 selective receptor antagonist darifenacin hydrobromide markedly reduced the number of weekly nocturnal awakenings and also reduced the number of incontinence episodes associated with overactive bladder. "Since nocturia associated with overactive bladder can influence sleep parameters and daytime functioning, darifenacin may be an important new treatment option for overactive bladder," said Simon Hill, MD, Queen's Park Hospital, Blackburn, United Kingdom. www.pslgroup.com /dg/244206.htm   (500 words)

Nocturia,Hypothyroidism, Allergies Nocturia, or nocturnal urination, is sometimes a symptom of sleep apnea. In fact, nocturia in younger adults-who are less likely to have other medical causes of nocturia-is a strong indicator of sleep apnea. While the precise relationship has not been thoroughly studied, it appears that the most likely reason patients with untreated sleep apnea have more frequent urination at night is related to the increased pressure in the right side of the heart. www.ecomagic.org /apnea/NoctThyroidAllergies.html   (833 words)

Last check: 2007-10-11) The purpose of this review is to make urologists aware of the fact that nocturia among elderly men has a multifactorial aetiology and does not always depends on bladder outlet obstruction. Nocturia, defined as waking up at night to void, is a very common and bothersome symptom, affecting >50% of both men and women aged >60 years.
