Do you wake up two, three, or even four times during the night to go to the bathroom? Pay attention to what's on your plate in the evening. Some common fruits contain a lot of water, while others may not be suitable for those with sensitive bladders. It's not just the foods themselves that matter, but also the portion size and timing of eating.

In this video, a doctor explains in detail which five fruits are sensible to include in your diet if you're prone to night wakings, and which five fruits you should be careful with, especially late at night. We'll discuss bananas, berries, apples, pears, grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe, citrus fruits, grapefruit, and pineapple.

You'll learn why nighttime urination after 50 and 60 years of age can't be explained solely by age, how evening fluid intake can influence the number of times you wake up at night, why it's important to pay attention to leg swelling, sleep, medications, bladder and prostate health, and why it's important to keep a urination diary for several days.

We'll pay special attention to a common mistake: people begin to increasingly restrict their fluid intake, but continue to wake up at night. This is because nighttime urination can have various mechanisms, so diet is only one part of the picture. The European Association of Urology also notes that treatment and management of nocturia depend on its cause, and self-care measures include reducing fluid intake before bed, limiting evening caffeine and alcohol, and managing leg swelling.

We'll also discuss grapefruit separately. It can interact with certain medications, so it's important for people taking regular medications to check with their doctor or pharmacist about compatibility with grapefruit.

This video is especially useful for men and women over 50, 60, and 70 years of age who experience frequent nighttime urination, interrupted sleep, and morning fatigue.

This material is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for a personal consultation with a doctor. If nighttime urination occurs suddenly, increases sharply, or is accompanied by pain, blood in the urine, intense thirst, difficulty urinating, swelling, or other unusual symptoms, seek medical attention.
