Se lever la nuit pour uriner : est-ce un problème de prostate ? Réponse du Dr Olivier Dumonceau

The need to get up at night to urinate, known as nocturnal pollakiuria, is a common source of concern. Is it always a sign of a prostate problem? Dr. Olivier Dumonceau, a urologist in Paris, helps you distinguish between lifestyle and pathology. Before 50: Often a matter of habit In young men, waking up at night is rarely related to the prostate. The causes are often elsewhere: Lifestyle: High fluid intake before bedtime. Stimulants: Drinking tea or coffee in the evening. The water trap: Drinking a glass of water after getting up once inevitably leads to further awakenings during the night. Sleep: A sleep disorder unrelated to the bladder. After 50: When should you worry? From the age of fifty onward, the prostate can indeed be the cause. The "healthy" waking: Waking up only once a night (often between 2 and 4 a.m.) is considered normal. This prevents the bladder from being too full in the morning, which would make emptying it difficult. The warning threshold: Waking up 2, 3, or 4 times a night is abnormal. The risks: Beyond chronic fatigue, getting up multiple times in the dark increases the risk of falls. What solutions are there before consulting a doctor? Before considering treatment, try these adjustments: 1. Limit drinks after 8 or 9 p.m. 2. Eliminate stimulants (tea, coffee) and diuretics in the evening. 3. If, despite these changes, symptoms persist, an early-stage benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is likely. A consultation with a urologist will allow for an assessment of prostate volume and the implementation of appropriate treatment.

He was among the first to develop robotic surgery for prostate cancer (Da Vinci robot) and the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) using Holmium lasers, Rezum, and Urolfit. He is a former resident of the Hospitals of Paris, Assistant Clinical Head at Bichat Claude Bernard Hospital in Paris, and then Attending Physician at the Paris Saint Joseph Hospital Group in Paris. He has been in private practice in Paris for over 20 years and co-founded the Paris Opéra Urology Clinic. Deeply committed to minimally invasive treatments, he was the first to develop robotic prostatectomy for prostate cancer on an outpatient basis, which has allowed the Turin Clinic to be ranked among the best clinics in France, and number one in Paris, for prostate cancer treatment for several years.
