A member asked:

Some nights (once in 10-15 nights) - i have to get up to urinate 2-4 times. is it nocturnal polyuria (even if it is just once in a while)? thanks.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nocturia: Getting up at night to urinate is termed nocturia. If you have episodic nocturia that only occurs once every couple of weeks, it may be related to what and how much you are drinking prior to bedtime. Anything with alcohol or caffeine can cause you to void more. In addition, a large amount of fluid can do this. If bothersome, talk to your doctor who might want to get some blood/urine tests.
