Frequent nighttime urination, or nocturia, affects more than just sleep. It’s often linked to hormonal imbalances, organ dysfunction, and chronic health issues. Research shows that people who wake up two or more times each night to urinate face a significantly higher risk of early death.
Jonathan Liu, a Canadian professor of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), appeared on NTDTV’s “Health 1+1” program to share practical lifestyle therapies, including diet and acupressure. Drawing on clinical experience, he offers insights to help you better understand and manage nocturia effectively.

Liu noted that many medical conditions can trigger nocturia, including benign prostatic hyperplasia, diabetes or high blood sugar, overactive bladder, urinary tract infections, chronic heart diseases (such as heart failure), chronic kidney diseases, and sleep apnea.
