Activity Description

Nocturia is defined as the need for patients to get up at night regularly to urinate. A sleep period must precede and follow the urinary episode to count as a nocturnal void. Nocturia is often described as the most bothersome of all urinary symptoms and is also one of the most common. Nocturia can be associated with long-term sleep deprivation in addition to the inconvenience that it causes. Many patients are reluctant to mention nocturia to their clinicians or mistakenly believe it is a normal part of aging. Nocturia is multifactorial but generally is caused by 1 of 4 main problems: nocturnal polyuria, global polyuria, bladder functional storage issues, and sleep disorders. A combination of these can also lead to nocturia. Primarily, hormonal issues cause nocturnal and global polyuria. The cornerstone of nocturia diagnosis and evaluation is the 24-hour voiding diary. Management strategies, which consist of lifestyle modification, behavioral therapy, and medications, should be offered to all patients with significant nocturia, at least on a trial basis, regardless of whether minimal discomfort is reported initially. This activity for healthcare professionals aims to enhance learners' competence in selecting appropriate diagnostic tests, managing nocturia, and fostering effective interprofessional teamwork to improve outcomes.
