In San Francisco, during the 105th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association, according to two new studies being presented, in patients of all ages, a predictor of mortality is nocturia- urination at nighttime.
Antidepressant use, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes are included as a number of co-morbidities which can cause two or more episodes of urination per night- nocturia, together with increases with age. Both the association of nighttime voiding with mortality and the older and young populations are reflected by the data being presented.
Compared to those without nocturia, an increased risk of mortality is had by both men and women, even after adjusting for recognized co-morbidities associated with nighttime voiding, this was showed by researchers at the New England Research Institutes in Watertown, MA as the first study. Rather than in the 65 years and older age group, in men and women ages 20-64, an association of greater magnitude between nocturia and mortality was found by researchers by using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III, conducted between 1988 and 1994). An increase in mortality risk can be caused by an increased number of voiding episodes. Talking with their physicians should be considered by all patients with nocturia and contributing factors include unrecognized medical conditions, development of comorbid conditions and/or sleep disruption, it is suggested by this study.
In the elderly, the association between nocturia and mortality is further solidified by the second study. for the elderly, the risk of mortality is increased as nighttime urination becomes more frequent, it is showed by a study conducted now, in the elderly, an increased risk of death can be caused by nocturia, it was determinded last year by a research team from Japan. Over the course of five years, from the national health insurance system, that information with data by living in an urban district of north Japan and cross-referenced, aged 70-97 years, a population-based cross-sectional survey of 788 subjects was conducted by investigators. The association between the frequency of nocturia and the risk of mortality persisted even after adjusting the data to accommodate several factors that might impact mortality risk.
AUA spokesman Tomas L. Griebling, MD, MPH said to prevent injuries and falls, at night, a clear and lighted path to the restroom should be made sure and a physician should be talked to by patients of any age suffering from nocturia. Urination at nighttime which is frequent affects the elderly, and between nocturia and mortality, there is an association.
What can patients do to cure nocturia? Medications may suggested by your doctor if to reduce your nighttime urination frequency, preventive measures and lifestyle changes are failed. For treatment of OAB, anticholinergics- a class of drugs is used. The urge to go which is created by the bladder spasms can be reduced by anticholinergics. Overnight OAB can be helped by these drugs too.
For nocturia, a treatment used for OAB can also be used. Neurological can the underlying cause of OAB be sometimes. The urge to go may be given to you by signals to the bladder to contract sent by the nerves. Near the tailbone, under your skin, to the bladder, a small device that sends regulated impulses can be implanted. Both a safe and reversible procedure this type of device is and for reducing symptoms of OAB, it has been successful.
To treat your nighttime OAB, a surgical procedure may be suggested by your doctor when prevention and medications fail. The underlying cause depends whether or not treatment can be helped by treatment. An enlarged prostate often cause frequent urination for men. The obstruction that causes OAB symptoms can be removed by having surgery to reduce the size of the gland.
If patients don’t want to try surgery nor they don’t want to have any wound, they can choose an alternative Chinese herb medicine treatment which is called Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, for it has no drug resistance or side effect, often patients can be cured within several months.
