Exercise May Reduce His Trips To The Toilet At Night

Did you know that participating in physical activity during the day might reduce a man's chances of having to get up more than once a night to urinate? Researchers analysed data from thousands of men in order to determine the rates of them getting up two or more times during the night to urinate, or in severe cases getting up three or more times during the night. Incontinence is the most common lower urinary tract symptom in men. It can be caused by an enlarged prostate, overproduction of urine, low bladder capacity and sleep problems. The condition becomes more common with age and is believed to occur in more than 50 percent of men 45 and older. Compared to men who do not exercise, those who were physically active one or more hours per week were 13 percent less likely to have to get up two or more times during the night and 34 percent less likely to have to get up three or more times during the night. Researchers think the possible link between exercise and incontinence could perhaps be because of reducing body size, improving sleep, lowering inflammation and decreasing nervous system activity. However further research is needed to examine physical activity as a way to manage incontinence, "with particular attention to the dose of physical activity necessary and the mechanisms that might underlie the association," Kate Wolin, an associate professor in the departments of surgery and public health sciences at Loyola University Chicago, said in a university news release.
