The right thing to do: consult your doctor, who will take the appropriate measures.
The last possible cause: a form of heart failure. The heart has trouble pumping up the blood that is stagnating in the legs, we have a feeling of heavy legs during the day… “In this case, at night, once you lie down, the blood rises more easily, and the kidneys do their job of filtering, which they couldn’t do during the day – and, as a result, you get up to urinate!” explains Prof. Desgrandchamps.
The right reflex: a simple solution is to take 20 to 40 minutes at the end of the day to lie down, with your feet elevated, or even raised against the wall. And you’ll go urinate before sleeping!
Finally, if your doctor has prescribed diuretics, remember to take them in the morning, and in any case never after 6 p.m. in the evening…
