Nocturia in men in cold weather and potential risks

Nocturia increases in cold weather – What is the cause?

According to medical statistics, up to 50% of middle-aged people and 90% of the elderly suffer from nocturia and the trend is increasing.

According to Master, Doctor Nguyen Thi Hang - former Deputy Director of Tue Tinh Traditional Medicine Hospital, the reason why the frequency of urination increases in cold weather is because the blood vessels contract, the flow narrows, limiting blood circulation to the skin to focus on keeping the internal organs warm. At this time, the kidneys must increase filtering activity to reduce blood volume and regulate blood pressure. Therefore, the amount of urine increases continuously, flowing down to the bladder, causing the feeling of "having to" urinate.

Another reason is that sweat glands are less active in winter, so urination is the main way to remove excess fluid from the body. In addition, cold weather makes us eat more deliciously, especially fried and greasy foods, to provide energy and warm the body. This is also the factor that causes the bladder to overactive, causing frequent urination.

Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, kidney function gradually declines, the ability to reabsorb urine is poor, so the effect of weather on the frequency of urination is more obvious. The number of times "going lightly" in winter can increase to a very high level (15 - 20 times/day), especially at night.

Nocturia – Seemed like a “small thing” but the danger is unpredictable

Frequent urination at nightcausing the patient to wake up continuously, interrupting sleep, and sleeping fitfully. Over time, it affects health, making people tired, nervous, reducing work efficiency and activities the next day. Not only the patient, but the restless waking up at night also affects the sleep of the person next to them.

In particular, due to fear of disturbing people around, many people often do not turn on the light when urinating. For the elderly, weak bones, reduced vision and a state of drowsiness when just waking up, moving in the dark is extremely dangerous. The risk of falling causing broken bones and injuries can happen at any time, especially when encountering obstacles, slippery bathroom floors.

More dangerously, nocturia is likened to "silent killer”, triples the risk of coronary artery disease, stroke and death in the elderly. The process of waking up and changing positions suddenly at night, especially in cold weather, makes the body unable to adapt, leading to dizziness, high blood pressure, and even ruptured blood vessels, causing stroke.

Reduce nocturia in cold weather, prevent potential risks

According to kidney and urology experts, to overcome the above condition, it is necessary to limit water intake and use diuretic foods, spicy foods, etc., especially during dinner. Regularly exercise to improve health, perform exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, thereby contributing to reducing nocturia and frequent urination.

According to the principles of Traditional Medicine, the kidney governs water, regulates body fluids, and is closely related to many other organs and viscera. Kidney failure not only aggravates urinary disorders, nocturia, and frequent urination, but also affects health. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on nourishing and strengthening kidney function. This is a method that works from the "root", helping to improve health and overcome nocturia in the long term and sustainably.
