This is also a symptom of the prostate is enlarged, which begins to happen as men age. However, this symptom may be confused with many other illnesses classified under the medical term, nocturia, which is the need to urinate excessively at night.

Some other causes of nocturia include infections, an overactive bladder, anxiety, edema, diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, and neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease or Multiple sclerosis (MS). Nocturia can also be common amongst patients with organ failure.
