WHAT DOES NOCTURIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Nocturia

Nocturia, also called nycturia, is defined by the International Continence Society as “the complaint that the individual has to wake at night one or more times for voiding.” Its causes are varied and, in many patients, difficult to discern. In order to diagnose nocturia, the nocturnal urine volume of patients must be known. The ICS defines NUV as “the total volume of urine passed between the time the individual goes to bed with the intention of sleeping and the time of waking with the intention of rising.” Thus, NUV excludes the last void before going to bed, but includes the first morning void if the urge to urinate woke the patient. Although every patient does not need treatment, most people seek treatment for severe nocturia, waking up to void more than 2-3 times per night. The amount of sleep a patient gets, and the amount they intend to get, are also considered in a diagnosis...
