Nocturia is a common problem with a significant impact on quality of life. The etiology of nocturia is multifactorial. Recent standardized terminology with respect to nocturia has been developed to promote more efficient communication among providers/specialists. A careful history, physical examination, and use of a voiding diary are important steps in identifying the etiology of nocturia and assist in tailoring the treatment regimen.
