Why You Need to Take Nocturia Seriously

by Francine Kanter Classical Homeopathy by Francine Kanter

The human body is designed to shut down the need to relieve itself for about eight hours when we go to sleep. The body generates a hormone that condenses the urine so that more can fit in the bladder, and we can get a full night's rest. But that master plan can often run aground when a person is suffering from a medical condition commonly known as nocturia — or the need to get out of bed in the middle of the night and use the bathroom.

The important thing to remember is that this condition can be dangerous and even deadly, and you should not ignore it. While it may seem like an inconvenience and simply a part of growing older, there are several homeopathic remedies for nocturia that can help with the condition.

Frequent trips to the bathroom can leave you sleep-deprived, which means your waking day can be more challenging to get through without having a burning desire to catch a nap. If that desire happens when you are driving a car, well, the results are obviously not good. More commonly, people tend to trip and fall while trying to find their way to the bathroom in the dark of night. Falls, particularly for the elderly, can be life-changing.

There are many causes for this condition, and they run the gamut. The body may slow down the production of the antidiuretic hormone, and that's causing a full bladder after two or three hours. Or there are more underlying causes like diseases, infections, nerve damage, or a weakening of the pelvic floor muscles.

Nocturia is a condition that may sound like something that every older person goes through, but it is dangerous. Thankfully, with the help of homeopathy in Port Orange, you can manage (and even cure) the condition.
