Suggest Treatment For Nocturnal Polyuria
My 97yr old mother has Nocturnal Polyuria, she can pass upto 1200mls each night, she gets up every hour and passes around 75, 90mls, more recently she is getting up every 20mins! She had 6 children, a pelvic floor repair in her early 70 s. She had a minor heart attack last year, Pnumonia, a Lacuna Stroke and a ragging UTI in January this year. EColi is resistent to all but one Antibiotic, I have been giving her Waterfall D- Mannose ever since.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There is a condition called diabetes insipidus, different from the other more common diabetes (diabetes mellitus)
In diabetes insipidus, there is an increase in fluid output due to either a reduction in the chemical that helps the body retain fluid or the body is not responding to the chemical.
This chemical is ADH.
I hope this helps
