Patient's question:
Recently these days, after having lunch at noon, I take a nap. As soon as I get into bed, I might wake up after only twenty minutes to use the restroom. After using the restroom, I'll need to do it again in less than ten minutes, and then another time after another ten to fifteen minutes. Only after the fourth time can I finally fall asleep peacefully. Each time, the amount of urine is not small, it's about the same as usual. But at night, I don't have this issue. What could be the factors or causes of this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the symptoms you described, have you only experienced increased frequency of urination without any pain, fever, or lower back pain? This generally falls under the category of daytime urinary frequency syndrome.Recommendations:
First, don’t worry—it is not an organic disorder. It is recommended to undergo traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment to regulate your overall health.
Second, try to hold it in as much as possible each time. Only go to the bathroom when you absolutely cannot hold it anymore. Relax your mind, don’t worry, and avoid fear. Focus on psychological relaxation to manage the condition. Western medicine does not have effective treatments for this, so it is advisable to prioritize TCM treatment as much as possible.
Third, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy, irritating, or hard foods; engage in appropriate exercise; and reduce smoking and alcohol consumption.
