Melatonin Levels Correlate with Frequent Nighttime Urination

1
Improving Your Urinary Continence

• Urinary continence is the ability to prevent
  accidental leakage of urine from your bladder. If
  you have accidental leakage, this is called
  incontinence. Some of the reasons you may
  experience incontinence include having had
  surgery or radiation to your pelvis or having an
  overactive bladder.
• There are several steps you can take to help
  retrain your bladder to improve your urinary
  continence. This process depends on your
  diagnosis and type of treatment that you had.
  Follow the instructions below. If you have any
  questions, talk with your doctor or nurse.

2
Drink Less Liquids

• Limit the amount of liquids you drink if your
  doctor or nurse tells you to. There is no set
  amount of water you need you should drink when
  you are thirsty.
• If you urinate often at night, do not drink any
  liquids after dinner.
• If you take medication at night, take it with
  only a sip of water.

3
Empty Your Bladder on a Schedule

• Do not wait until the last minute to urinate.
• Urinate as much as you can each time you use the
  toilet.
• If you have trouble urinating, urinate once, and
  then walk away from the toilet. In 5 to 10
  minutes, urinate again. Use your abdominal
  muscles to help empty your bladder.

4
Do Kegel Exercises

• The goal of Kegel exercises is to strengthen your
  pelvic floor muscles, which can help prevent
  urinary incontinence.
• To find your pelvic floor muscles, imagine you
  are urinating, and contract the muscles you would
  need to stop the stream of urine. You can also
  tighten the muscles that you use to hold back gas
  when you dont want to pass it.

5
Record How Much and How Often You Urinate

• If you experience any incontinence, write that
  down as well. Write down if it happened
• When you were straining.
• During stress on your bladder, such as coughing,
  sneezing, bending, lifting, or a change in
  position.
• With an uncontrollable urge.
• On the way to the toilet.
• Without you knowing it.

6
Limit or Avoid Foods and Liquids That Irritate
Your Bladder

• There are certain foods and liquids that can
  irritate your bladder, which are listed below.
  These include foods and liquids that contain
  caffeine and chocolate. Caffeine is also a
  diuretic, which means that it is likely to make
  you urinate more often.
