What about frequent urination at night in winter?

When winter comes, an embarrassing problem appears again, that is, the number of times to go to the toilet at night has increased significantly, especially for the elderly and people with urinary system diseases in the past, who have to go to the toilet 3-4 times or more every night. Coupled with the cold weather, getting up repeatedly can easily lead to colds or insomnia, and the elderly may also lead to accidents such as falls and strokes. Therefore, it is necessary for us to face this realistic and embarrassing problem.

First, why is it easy to urinate frequently in winter nights?

(1) The appearance of urine is closely related to the external environment. When the temperature is low in winter and low at night, urine will be produced under the stimulation of cold, especially for the elderly whose yang is already weak. If they can't stand a little cold, it's easy to produce urine.

② The metabolism of water and liquid in human body is in equilibrium. The water we consume through diet needs to be eliminated through sweating and urination. In winter, people's exercise is obviously reduced, and the amount of perspiration is reduced, resulting in obvious urine output at night.

(3) The yang is weak, and the qi is not solid, especially for some elderly people and people who have suffered from chronic diseases in the past. Yang is the main driving force of human body fixation and storage. Old people and exhausted people tend to be weak, and it is easier to consume yang in cold winter, so they have insufficient fixation, so they urinate frequently at night;

④ For men, pay attention to prostate health. Men's bodies are also very special. The prostate is adjacent to the urethra and becomes larger. When the urethra is under pressure, it will send a wrong signal to the brain, causing urination. Old people urinate a lot at night, so most of them should consider this problem.

⑤ Because of the deterioration of brain biological clock function, the secretion rhythm of antidiuretic hormone is abnormal in the elderly. At night, there is less hormone secretion and more nocturia.

Second, how to reduce the number of nocturia?

① Change drinking habits and reduce drinking water at dinner and before going to bed. Don't drink too much fresh water and some fruits with high moisture two hours before going to bed at night. You can drink light salt boiled water and low concentration sugar water instead.

Pay attention to keep warm at night. Sleeping at night can keep the room warm, cover with thick quilts and reduce the cold of limbs;

Moderate outdoor exercise, especially when the sun is shining, increases perspiration and enhances yang;

④ Actively carry out specialized treatment of primary diseases, such as prostatitis and chronic nephritis;

⑤ People with yang deficiency can take traditional Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine for invigorating qi and strengthening yang.
