Frequent Nighttime Urination Found to Be Life-Threatening 0 53

Dietitian Botikaria Garcia warned that frequent urination at night is associated with an increased risk of death. Her words were reported by the publication 20minutos.

"Frequent urges to urinate at night that disrupt sleep are considered abnormal. They are linked to a decrease in quality of life and an increase in mortality," Garcia explained. According to her, this nighttime habit may be a sign of heart failure, diabetes, urinary tract infections, and prostate diseases.

Additionally, poor sleep caused by frequent trips to the bathroom leads to fatigue, difficulties with concentration, mood changes, and decreased productivity. Furthermore, it increases the risk of falls, domestic injuries, and fractures, especially in older adults, the specialist warned.

At the same time, some people try to suppress the urges to avoid insomnia. However, this strategy is also harmful to health, particularly for the kidneys, Garcia emphasized.
