Nighttime urge to urinate in men over 50
Bladder pressure several times during sleep: Nighttime urge to urinate in men affects almost one in three men. In the long run, the nighttime disturbances often become a burden. Recovery is severely impaired by the many interruptions in sleep. The cause is usually a benign enlargement of the prostate , which is medically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia , or BPH for short .

The prostate is located below the bladder and surrounds the upper third of the urethra in a ring shape. As we age, it can enlarge and narrow the urethra. If this happens, the urge to urinate at night can occur. The enlarged prostate means that urine encounters greater resistance. This in turn irritates the urethra and bladder and leads to increased urinary urgency and discomfort when urinating .
