| description | Nocturia causes lack of sleep and excessive daytime somnolence, reducing overall well-being, vitality, productivity, and mental
health. Nocturia is significantly associated with testosterone deficiency, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and sleep
disorders. The development of LUTS is commonly associated with testosterone deficiency in elderly men, and recent studies have
suggested that testosterone has an ameliorative effect on nocturia. In hypogonadal men with nocturia, a negative feedback cycle
can arise, in which testosterone deficiency leads to the development of nocturia, and nocturia contributes to the decline in
testosterone levels. Therefore, patients with nocturia should receive appropriate treatment in order to improve their quality of life.
Nocturia is generally treated by restricting nighttime water intake, as well as by the administration of medications, such as alpha-1
blockers, anticholinergic drugs, and desmopressin. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is used worldwide as a treatment for
many hypogonadal conditions. TRT represents an alternative treatment option for nocturia in hypogonadal men. However,
limited information is currently available regarding the effects of TRT on nocturia in hypogonadal men, and further studies are
required to reach more definitive conclusions. |
