Nighttime urination visits in Dallas
Getting up again and again at night is a common reason people see Daniel Roberson, PA-C, at our Dallas Clinic. He'll ask you to track drinks and bathroom trips for a few days, review your medicines, and check your urine and how well you empty.
How a plan comes together
Nocturia often has more than one cause: making too much urine at night, a bladder that holds less, an enlarged prostate, or sleep problems such as sleep apnea. Treatment starts with timing fluids and medicines, and may include prescriptions for the bladder or prostate. Procedures such as UroLift, InterStim or Altaviva, when needed, are done by our urologists in Marietta.

Common questions
Common questions
Should I stop drinking in the evening?
Mostly, yes. Drink most of your fluids earlier in the day, avoid large amounts in the 2 to 3 hours before bed and skip evening caffeine and alcohol, while keeping your daily total the same.
Can raising my legs help?
If your ankles swell by evening, raising your legs for an hour in the late afternoon lets that fluid return to the bloodstream and leave as urine before bedtime. Compression stockings during the day help the same way.
