Thailand: A new study published in the International Urogynecology Journal shows that melatonin is an efficient and safe therapy for nocturia in elderly women.
Nocturia has an impact on one's health and quality of life (QoL). Current medical therapies can have serious side effects, particularly when treating older individuals. Endogenous melatonin has a physiological role in urinary bladder function, and exogenous melatonin may help with this disease. As a result, Pichai Leerasiri and colleagues undertook this study to assess the efficacy and safety of melatonin in treating nocturia in elderly women.
