Why do we get up at night to urinate?

And what about health? Should we be worried?

It’s perfectly natural to have questions when you start getting up frequently at night to urinate, especially if it’s a recent habit. While in most cases this phenomenon is benign, it can also, in some situations, reflect a deeper imbalance. The key is to learn to listen to your body… without giving in to excessive alarm.

Signals that should not be ignored

When should you consider a medical consultation? Three signs can serve as warning signals:

  • The disorder either develops suddenly or worsens in a short period of time.
  • It is accompanied by other unusual symptoms: significant fatigue upon waking, intense thirst, back pain, burning or pain when urinating.
  • No improvement is observed despite a good lifestyle and a reduction in fluids in the evening.

In these cases, a health check-up can help to identify a more precise cause and to implement appropriate solutions.
