The NHS has issued a warning to people who regularly wake up during the night to use the toilet, suggesting that such symptoms may require medical attention.
According to health officials, frequent nocturnal urination, known as nocturia, can be a sign of underlying health issues such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), diabetes, or prostate problems.
The advice comes as part of a broader campaign to raise awareness about the importance of seeking medical help for persistent nighttime bathroom breaks, rather than dismissing them as a normal part of ageing.
Experts recommend that individuals who experience this symptom regularly should consult their GP to rule out any serious conditions and receive appropriate treatment.
