Answer:
Needing to wake up more than once during the night to urinate, a condition known as nocturia, commonly occurs with age, affecting about 69% of men and 76% of women ages 40 and older (Weiss, Rev Urol 2012). Common causes of nocturia are urinary tract infections (UTIs), overactive bladder (OAB) and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), and there are many others. It’s important to talk to your doctor if you’re experiencing excessive nighttime urination to ensure that the correct cause of the condition is identified.
Depending on the cause of nocturia, evidence from small clinical trials suggest that certain supplements may be beneficial, while some others might not help.
