How To Stop Needing To Pee At Night? - #60852
I am struggling with this annoying thing called nocturia. Like, every night I’m up at least 3 or 4 times, and it’s driving me nuts! I try to drink less before bed, but then I get really thirsty. I read somewhere that certain teas might help with nocturia treatment, but I’m totally confused about which ones are safe or effective. I’m not even sure if I should be drinking more water during the day or if that makes it worse. Sometimes I even feel like I need to run to the bathroom right after going like, is that normal? Last week, my doc suggested a tablet for nocturia, but I didn’t really think to ask which one is best to stop frequent urination. I have been hesitant to take meds, though. I really want to find natural remedies instead. what should I be drinking or avoiding? Are there specific foods that might help too? If anyone has tips for nocturia treatment, I would be super grateful! Just trying to figure out how to stop needing to pee at night and get a decent sleep again. Thanks!
