    Disturbed sleep due to frequent pilgrimage to bathroom during sleep hours in night.
    Weak kidney or bladder or something about ADH deficiency? Any treatment without the need to swallow pill or capsule? And issue with prostate? Any one tried and experienced satisfactory results from following a particular type of medical science? Any inputs welcome here.

    Im not a doctor but nocturia is common with ageing. For older men, the most common reason that can cause frequent urination at night is BPH (enlarged prostrate). Eventhough there is first line of treatment using a medicine like Tamdura once at bedtime and second line of treatment, which is a simple non invasive procedure to get rid of BPH, for a lot of men, even after the surgery, their nocturnal trips to the bathroom continues.

    You need to consult a good urologist to root cause it and follow his or her advice.

    One tip is dont drink water or drink minimal water after 3 hours before bedtime.

    Good luck.

    I am one of the oldest in this group and I merrily go through all telltale signs of aging. Not everyone can be s Deepak Chopra to be able to consider an Ageless Body and Timeless Mind. Such guys are abnormal. The process of aging has been given by God to enable us to learn a few tricks of living happily that we missed in our younger age. Coping with aging is simple if we continue to have the ability to look at everything around us with wide-eyed wonder.

    Thanks for advice from @Cheeniya and tip from @gamma50g .
    I hv been to apollo hospital main Chennai's urologist and he had prescribed elaborate tests. Not prescribed any tabs or pill. But I hv not decided to go for those tests for the present. Sleep is not affected despite this trouble. Between 12 to 6 I got to get up 2 or 3 times.
    Another group member advised never to drink water after 4 pm or consume as minimum as possible and finish dinner 3 to 5 hours before bed time. During day water not to be gulped but drink infrequently in small sips. One senior in his 90s advised to drink lemon and common salt mixed in water during pre morning to get sufficient potassium and sodium and avoid drinking water late evenings. One more apprehensive of denial of water will reduce cleaning of liver. Some cited UT links. One more opined ADH production is reduced? Yet to explore what is ADH.

    If its uroflometry test that the urologist recommended, I would highly recommend you to get it done. Very simple test to measure the strength of urine flow and sees how much of bladder is emptied so that the doctor can make recommendations accordingly.

    One urologist advised to reduce the water intake after 8pm for my parent. Curd is another thing good to be avoided at night.

    Indeed. Curd in dinner avoided. But the effect may be seen only over a period .
