Waking up to pee in the middle of the night? Here's what it means about your health
."In my practice, I see nocturia mostly in postpartum individuals, especially when they are frequently getting up to breast or bottle-feed," Dr. Jeffcoat says. She explains that sometimes nocturia persists because someone has been primed to wake up at regular intervals throughout the night— and it continues even after they're no longer breastfeeding. This is a necessity and pretty normal. She adds that pelvic floor trauma incurred during birth can be a possible culprit.
Another factor, Dr. Jeffcoat says, is constipation. Constipation can cause nighttime urination because built-up fecal matter in the colon can press on the bladder and instill urgency strong enough to wake you up, she explains. And if you have bladder control and incontinence trouble throughout the day, it isn’t uncommon to have those carry into the night, Dr. Jeffcoat adds.
"Our heart and vascular system have to successfully pump blood to the kidneys for the kidneys to filter the blood and produce urine during the waking hours," Dr. Ramin explains."If our cardiovascular system fails to pump enough blood to the kidneys, then the body tends to retain a great deal of fluid during the daytime." He adds that nocturia can, therefore, sometimes be a sign of a weakened cardiovascular system; however, nocturia isn’t the only symptom.
Additionally, since your bladder is controlled by your brain, there are a few neurological disorders that can impact bladder function. Disease processes that affect brain function include dementia, Parkinson's disease, brain tumors, history of brain stroke, radiation to the brain, brain surgery, and sleep apnea, Dr. Ramin says. However, again, it’s important to remember that nocturia isn’t the primary symptom in these cases.
