Patient's question:
I am 48 years old, male, and have frequent nighttime urination and heightened sensitivity before bed, which makes it difficult to fall asleep. Once I fall asleep, I keep having dreams and wake up every two hours. Even with a very slight urge to urinate, I wake up. How can I treat frequent nighttime urination due to prostatitis, which occurs ten times or more before bed?Doctor's answer:
Hello, frequent urination is a typical symptom of prostatitis. If the urge to urinate is only noticeable at bedtime and is not severe during the day, this may indicate that you have tension-related urinary frequency, which is related to psychological stress factors. In this case, it is necessary to adjust your mindset on your own. For your prostatitis, it is essential to enhance the use of anti-inflammatory medications.
