Urge to urinate at night
The nocturnal urge to urinate is when you wake up at night because you have to empty your bladder. If this happens more than twice a night, you should clarify the cause, as urination can be a symptom of an illness.
What you need:
- Clarification of the cause

- Training the pelvic floor muscles
This is how you take action against the urge to urinate at night
- Refrain from using diuretic drinks such as beer, wine, brandy, coffee and a few hours before going to bed tea.
- Drink little in the hours before bed. However, you should compensate for this by drinking more fluids during the day.
- Keep a diary for a few days, in which you note exactly when you drank what and how much and when and how much water you gave. This will help your doctor diagnose.

Prevention of bladder weakness
- Do bladder training. When you feel the impulse to empty your bladder, take as long as possible before going to the bathroom. In this way your bladder gets used to larger amounts of fluid and the urge to urinate is reduced.
- Train your pelvic floor muscles. Here is a little exercise that you can do inconspicuously at any time: Imagine emptying your bladder. Now tense your muscles in order to interrupt the emptying. Hold this for a few seconds and relax the muscles. Repeat as often as possible.
