The treatment for nocturia depends on how bad your symptoms are, what’s causing it, if they’re caused by another health problem that needs treatment, and how much they affect your daily life. Your medical history and where you live can also play a role, as not all treatments are available in every place.
Your medical history is a list of all the health problems you've had in the past, like illnesses or surgeries, and any treatments or medications you've used. It helps doctors understand your health better so they can give you the best care.
