Nonpharmacologic management of patients with nocturia

GERD: gastroesophageal reflux disease.

* Patients on twice-daily diuretics can take their second dose in the afternoon rather than the evening.

¶ Urinating while sitting comfortably on the toilet (men included), leaning slightly forward, and then waiting for 20 to 30 seconds to urinate again.

Δ Good sleep hygiene includes sleeping in a quiet room with low lighting and appropriate temperature, avoiding nighttime use of electronic devices, and avoiding daytime naps.

◊ Patients should be referred to a physical therapist with expertise in pelvic floor rehabilitation.
