Frequent Urination nocturia

Frequent urination or urinary frequency is the need to urinate more often than usual. It is often, though not necessarily, associated with urinary incontinence and polyuria.

A frequent need to urinate at night is called nocturia.

Research published in Obstetrics & Gynecologyindicates indicates that acupuncture may be a more effective treatment.

Researchers at the Oregon Health and Science University found that four weekly acupuncture sessions showed significant improvement in bladder control, frequency of urination, and the urgent need to urinate as compared to the control group, which received “sham” acupuncture as a placebo.
