Wondering why you wake up at night? Make sure you check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/6QkyRSSPlLk/v-deo.html Also comment below and let me know if any of these tips helped you!
I have a question about ejaculation is it normal if when ejaculating if it all comes out in one stream all at once like peeing or is this something I need to worry about?
Rena Malik ? is your advice in this video for females only ? Because males are different. males can have a erection that prevents them from peeing on themselves while sleep it acts as a switch.
I'm a retired anesthesiologist. Had a career in academia and private practice. I've watched a number of your videos. You have a gift in teaching. Hopefully, some of your time is around med students, interns etc. Well Done!
A couple of others. Exercise more and turn up the thermostat. If the body is too cold at night it will rid itself of water in an attempt to increase body heat. This is a bigger issue in people with thyroid disorders. Oh, and anxiety issues can cause frequent urination as well. Great video!
Interesting! We keep the house cold at night (better sleep). I also suffer from hypothyroidism (Take meds). I have been urinating a lot lately. 4x in 9-10 hours. And A lot of fluid is coming out! I lost 2 lbs overnight.
Thank you Doctor Malik! I'm 76 and urinate frequently including 2 to 3 times sleep period. I just want to let you know that I have this problem with me since my college days. Recently my doctor checked me including blood test and told me my health being normal. Subconsciously, I was worried about this until now and want to celebrate. Thank you again for your expertise and God bless you.
I get up 8-13 times a night, for the past six years. Saw doctors and all they wanted me to do was log my urination times 🤦🏻♀️. This video has been more helpful than any of those doctor trips. Thank you so much. I’ll give the kegel exercises a try, and double urination.
Amazing INDIAN specialist physician. - Urologist. Do you know it takes 15 years after high school graduation to get that title? Dr. Malik is no ordinary woman. She is a very special one of a kind doing this all public service on her own time.
I'm 71 and never get up to pee at night because I consume olive oil and pumpkin seed oil daily, these two oils keep the prostate healthy and helps prevent BPH.
I do the same and it does nothing to stop peeing at night. It all has to do with snacking and drinking too much before bedtime. You can drink all the olive oil and pumpkin seed oil you want - it wont stop urination at night.
If you are a male with BPH retention.. talk to your doctor about clean intermittent catheterization. CIC. It is not near as bad as it sounds and you will be 100% Empty!! Also look at your sleep. If you snore or have sleep Apnea it can prevent your body from going into a deep rem sleep. during this time our kidneys will slow down production. I am incontinent and use a diaper at night and I have for years. Getting on CPAP and getting proper rest in the last 6 months has reduced my nightly urine out put. There is lots of good advice here in this thread.
Dr. Malik, thank you for sharing your expertise with us so selflessly. Can you please do a video on INCONTINENCE? I would like to know what causes or can contribute to INCONTINENCE, particularly in men. My dad just turned 83.
I stop drinking by 7:00 PM, void an hour before bedtime and double void before finally going to bed. I went from having to get up 2-3 times a night, to once around 3:00 AM.
Same and since I have to wake up multiple times at night, I can't get good quality complete sleep so as a result I've had a constant brain fog, cloudy brain for years now.
Get a bucket so can pee from the bed without getting up. It's the light and vertical position that wake you up. If you pee horizontally you can fall back to sleep without having the sleep cycle interrupted.
Ok guys I improved a lot in the past weeks, I came back to this video to tell you what helped me. I used to wake up every hour and a half, it was making me miserable since I'm also a light sleeper and have trouble going to sleep. Ok so I'm not going to make a huge comment, by far the thing that helped the most is to cut irritants, just as the doctor said in the second part. No soda, no carbonated drinks, no lemonade (I used to take A LOT of lemonade) and no spicy stuff (I'm mexican, so yeah that was a daily thing). It really was that simple, though it took a week to see results, and another week to really start feeling much better. I plan to do this for 3 months and start introducing some stuff again. I drink plain water all the time, completely plain. I have even developed a taste for it, whereas I didn't like it before (hence why I drank so much lemonade). There are other things that might have affected, for example I took pumpkin seed oil. But really I feel cutting out irritants is the thing that really made the difference. Thank God, thanks to the doctor Malik and thanks to all the other doctors on YT, I feel much better now.
Thank you So much, Dr. Malik. I Suffer From Frequent Urination. It Disrupts My Sleep. I’ve been Suffering from this Issue for Years. I’m Going to Implement Your Advice & Hopefully I Don’t Suffer Anymore. May Allah Bless You in Every Single Way. Thank You 🙏
Thank you for these tips, but could you explain the Kegel exercise to me a bit more? Do you need to do it before sleeping or when you wake up in the middle of the night?
Your videos are amazingly helpful. Can't appreciate and thank you enough. By the way in my personal experience, alcohol before bed seems to prevent waking up for urination.
I want to share something with you. I'll be sharing this with my doctor, as well. I don't particularly partake in using Marijuana. But in the last year or so, I've used it a few times. Nothing, I mean nothing, got rid of my BPH symptoms like that does. The hesitancy that had me standing at the toilet for 5 minutes after I finished, trying to get more out, is gone. That feeling of needing to go frequently? Gone. I held it in for quite some time, leading to a long, satisfying, urination. It helped every symptom. Maybe there's a way to isolate what's doing it.
High levels of insulin at bedtime will cause frequent urination at night. Try to avoid foods that raise your insulin a few hours prior bedtime. I eat no carbs past 7pm, go to bed at 10 and sleep through the night.
Thank you Doctor Malik. I suffer from nocturia, insomnia and recently my legs have swollen (even though I have worked at reducing them greatly). I am not diabetic, but I am overweight and have high blood pressure.
I can recommend taking 50 mg. of zinc/ day combined w/copper every 24hrs. Will reduce frequency of urination and help to at least live a semi normal lifestyle. Been taking zinc for over 25 yrs. It's been a life saver! Also magnesium will greatly help you to sleep! We can take up to 400-600 mg./Day. I take the Doctor's Best brand 100mg. each. They consistently work nite after nite. Be careful during the day. They will make you drowsy. The only other thing I might mention is the over consumption of sugar & carbs. They wreck havoc with our bodies. Try to study up on the subject. I recommend Dr. Eric Berg here on UA-cam. Gives excellent info. and advise. Hope this helps.
Take Magnesium Glycinate in powder form at night - wear socks in your feet and elevate your legs on a pillow - cut out processed carbs and sugar - I’ve lost 60 pounds the last 10 months
Some medications cause dryness that make you feel thirsty so you hydrate and many people like to sleep in air conditioned rooms which can also cause dryness and thus people drink water at night and then have to go pee at night.
As someone who has urolagnia, I'm in two minds about this. On the one hand this is really good advice for not disrupting your sleep, but on the other hand I have urolagnia...
I live in Florida I was an AC contractor for 30 years and I suffer from Hydra hydrosis which makes me drink a lot I am retired now I got hurt several years ago A heavy object fell on my foot and I wound up with a blood blister which developed into a staph infection on my left foot To save my foot the VA doctors had to cut the heel of my foot down to the bone I couldn't walk for 3 years or work so I became a homeless vet The only place I could afford was a mobile home that was 37 years old and I found out that it was rat infested The rats used to begin eating through the floor every night and getting out I never left the bed at night to urinate I got into the habit of urinating into one of those special bottles but now I'm in a beautiful home really beautiful I'm going to try not to drink two hours before going to bed and see if that helps if I get up to go to the bathroom I find it hard to go back to sleep that's why I still urinate in the bottle
Dr. Malik I like your videos and program and I agree with the drinking water before bedtime should be suppressed, Short history on me that started the issues with need to go urinate especially after I stand up this all started when I had prostate cancer that was taken care of by non-invasive method called High issues with EDI? So you could say I ended up with three different problems just because of one procedure to get rid of prostate cancer? What are your thoughts and what do you think I can do to take care of some of these issues or reduce the severity of those issues? Specially when it has to do with Ed or needing to urinate every time I stand up? Also additional information as I have type 2 diabetes it's controlled through exercise and diet and reducing most of my carbohydrates and starches and more protein intake, as well as high blood pressure that I take to meds for which is Lisinopril and HCTZ which includes a diuretic as well as a tour vastatin before bedtime
I love how you said you can wake up if you drink well I do drink that’s never woke me up ever sometimes when I never drink I do wake up during night my body is very thirsty the most some days I can’t sleep if I’m hungry I hate that
I’ve been monitoring how much fluids I drink and how much I pee. Something like a Void chart. It appears that I am producing 5:1 more cc at night. I feel very dehydrated if I limit my water intake. The majority of fluids daily are from water with coffee rarely after 10am. Looking forward to Urologist visit in two weeks. I’m really a fan of your podcast!

Thanks for the information. I am 58, weigh 450#, and drink a lot of tea at night and during the day and I am a programmer so sit mostly all day. Otherwise I am healthy and take no meds normally. I have some Edema in legs and do not watch salt that much. I wake up several times in the night and have for years so I use a small bedside trashcan and empty it in morning. PROBLEM is that a couple weeks ago same routine but I had some pain in groin area when bladder was not even totally full and then I woke and urinated. It never went away so went to doctor. Urine negative. He already guessed it was my prostate and prescribed Tamsulosin 0.4mg for prostate. After 2 weeks on fence if making much change but giving it a couple more weeks now that I am not scared it is too serious. Pain is more like discomfort. Any other things I might try other than the obvious: 1. Stop drinking tea at night. 2. Wear compression socks. 3. Cut back on salt. 4. Lose weight. 5. Get more activity verses sitting. Also should he had tried an antibiotic just in case. I was thinking so even though the urine was negative after the fact. He also had just done bloodwork for annual physical so he was convinced not cancer or such.
In one of your videos you discuss different kinds of prostate surgery. I’d like to watch it again but I can’t find it. Could you help me with that? Thank you
Things have been a lot easier since I acquired a water bed with a wide valve. No more getting out of bed on a cold winter's night for me! Admittedly, I will have to empty it at some stage when it is completely full.
My getting up to pee at night has not been mitigated, at all, by refraining from consuming liquids near bedtime. I could have my list drink of water at 4PM, go to bed at 9PM, and still the nocturia happens. 😢
I'm not sure if I'm waking up because of the urge to pee or something else but I think it's the latter. When I wake up I feel the urge to pee and can't go back to sleep if I don't go and most of the time it's just a little bit. I'm only 41 and I wake up and pee twice a night for so many years I've forgotten what it's like to sleep all through the night. I've tried everything, cool room, black out curtains, no alcohol, stop water 2 hrs before bed, and I exercise consistently. I don't know what it is.
Try consuming olive oil and pumpkin seed oil, after about a week you should notice your nightly visits to the bathroom diminish. I am 71 and sleep through the night, it's the phytonutrients in these oils that keep the prostate healthy

Just love Dr. Malik, i don't know of any urologist who goes into details to help all of us, more so men!!
I’m new and I really like how she explains things without all the medical-speak.
Last 2 nights of following your suggestions, I woke up once instead of 2 to 3 times. Thank you .
me too. I assume now you sleep the whole night.
I woke up 3 times instead of 7❗️
Dr. Malik is an oasis of sound, science based information in a world of b.s. and mis-information.
Thank you Rena,
Good video that didn`t drag on and on. Just the facts!
I was already limiting fluids but the double voiding tip has made the biggest change. Thanks.
A couple of others. Exercise more and turn up the thermostat. If the body is too cold at night it will rid itself of water in an attempt to increase body heat. This is a bigger issue in people with thyroid disorders. Oh, and anxiety issues can cause frequent urination as well. Great video!
Yes, but then cooler temperature makes you sleep better. We can't win.
@@TimeIdle yeah I know , it sucks
Anxiety is the best reason as i observed

Learning about "double-voiding" from your videos has helped a lot. Thanks!
Thank you, you are the best doctor.

Why
Short and precise explanations, thank you so much
THIS DOCTOR MAKES OUR DAY VERY FREQUENTLY.
I tried the 2 hour rule last night and it worked! Sleep Time went up from 1.5 hours to 2.15 hour intervals.
explain to me plz
@@HalimBrahim I think he meant the 2 hour rule as being nothing to drink 2 hours before bedtime
Thanks for the Advice . Make it a point to urinate just before going to bed .
You're the cutest doctor on UA-cam🥳😉
Dr. Malik is the Greatest !!!!!!! Many great tips have helped me greatly !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Doc. Good information worth doing, and you are not bad to look at either.
I get up 3-4 times a night, sometimes 5-6 times. it's beyond annoying now but I figure it's just an age thing and put up with it.
I’ve had this problem since I was 31. I’m 45 now. I’m still trying to figure this out. You shouldn’t have to put up with it. It’s awful.
Same and since I have to wake up multiple times at night, I can't get good quality complete sleep so as a result I've had a constant brain fog, cloudy brain for years now.
Are you over 60, Steve?
Get a bucket so can pee from the bed without getting up. It's the light and vertical position that wake you up. If you pee horizontally you can fall back to sleep without having the sleep cycle interrupted.
Its caused by late night snacking

High levels of insulin at bedtime will cause frequent urination at night. Try to avoid foods that raise your insulin a few hours prior bedtime. I eat no carbs past 7pm, go to bed at 10 and sleep through the night.
That is spot on correct. Snacking and insulin causes the urine output at night.

Interesting. My MG medicine is a dieretic. Will maybe adjust my night dose. Thank you.
Catch 22. Having salt with a little water helps with electrolytes to keep cramps down. Wake up to urinate or wake up for cramps lol

1. Stop drinking tea at night.
2. Wear compression socks.
3. Cut back on salt.
4. Lose weight.
5. Get more activity verses sitting.
Also should he had tried an antibiotic just in case. I was thinking so even though the urine was negative after the fact. He also had just done bloodwork for annual physical so he was convinced not cancer or such.
Sorry but at 450 lbs you are not “healthy”.
In one of your videos you discuss different kinds of prostate surgery. I’d like to watch it again but I can’t find it. Could you help me with that? Thank you
How does elevating your legs help? There are floods in your leg that causes you to pee?
Things have been a lot easier since I acquired a water bed with a wide valve. No more getting out of bed on a cold winter's night for me! Admittedly, I will have to empty it at some stage when it is completely full.
My getting up to pee at night has not been mitigated, at all, by refraining from consuming liquids near bedtime. I could have my list drink of water at 4PM, go to bed at 9PM, and still the nocturia happens. 😢
I'm not sure if I'm waking up because of the urge to pee or something else but I think it's the latter. When I wake up I feel the urge to pee and can't go back to sleep if I don't go and most of the time it's just a little bit. I'm only 41 and I wake up and pee twice a night for so many years I've forgotten what it's like to sleep all through the night. I've tried everything, cool room, black out curtains, no alcohol, stop water 2 hrs before bed, and I exercise consistently. I don't know what it is.
Try consuming olive oil and pumpkin seed oil, after about a week you should notice your nightly visits to the bathroom diminish. I am 71 and sleep through the night, it's the phytonutrients in these oils that keep the prostate healthy
Are the kegel exercises still effective if we have a neurologic condition?
I urinated 18 times in the past 9 hrs, it's weird how this video popped up, cause I'm about to go again.
Hysterical. Before the video began there was an ad for "drink a warm glass of water before bed and your prostate will shrink..."
