Nocturia (ICD10: R351) is a common clinical complaint, with a prevalence rate of more than 50% in the elderly. If it exceeds twice a night, it will cause trouble for the patient. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly believes that nocturia is caused by deficiency and cold of the kidneys and bladder; while Western medicine believes that it is a decrease in bladder urine storage capacity, nocturnal polyuria, or both. The evaluation of nocturia is mainly by consultation, and a voiding diary can be used as an important reference. The treatment of modern medicine includes Continuous positive airway pressure, behavioral therapy, alpha-1-adrenergic antagonists, 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, antimuscarinics, beta-3 agonists and desmopressin, etc. All kinds of drugs have their corresponding side effects. Professor Cao Yong divided nocturia into four types with Suoquan Wan as the main prescription. Tung’s Acupuncture and moxibustion also have significant effects in treating nocturia, and detailed health education is indispensable.
