It is normal for older women to urinate 1-2 times at night.
Some older women may have more frequent nighttime urination due to chronic diseases. With age, all body functions will gradually deteriorate, the bladder function also gradually decline, the control of urination is greatly reduced compared with young people, thus causing the elderly to appear frequent urination, incomplete urination or increased nocturia and other situations.
Generally speaking, urinating 1-2 times at night is not a problem if it doesn’t affect sleep, but if the number of times of nocturia is 3 or more, it will affect the sleep of the elderly, and it is easy to get up too often at night and have accidents, such as falling, low blood pressure, etc. Therefore, if the nocturia is too frequent, the elderly will have to go back to their beds to urinate.
Therefore, if the elderly night urination is too frequent, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for consultation, examination and appropriate treatment to reduce the frequency of nighttime toilet.
