The association between nocturia, hormonal symptoms and bladder parameters in women: An observational study
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology May 28, 2021
Bower WF, Rose GE, Whishaw DM, et al. - In view of the poor understanding regarding postmenopausal nocturia, researchers herein investigated hormonal and lifestyle factors linked with nocturia. In addition, they sought to attain insight into the relative contribution of altered urine production and bladder storage dysfunction in women. This cross-sectional study was performed enrolling women ≥ 40 years who presented to public continence services. Completion of a hormone status questionnaire, a validated nocturia causality screening tool and a 3-day bladder diary was performed by 153 participants. Overall, nocturia was described by 91.5 % of the participants, 55% ≥ 2 /night. Per observations, changes to both nocturnal diuresis and bladder storage were linked with bothersome nocturia in postmenopausal women. They suggest possible value of regular physical activity, prolapse reduction and oestrogen replacement as adjunctive in managing bothersome nocturia in women.
