Symptoms that occur with increased urinary frequency at night may include a sensation of bladder fullness, increased urge to urinate, urinary incontinence,pain during urination, blood in the urine, lower abdominal pain, low back pain, or flank pain.

The treatment for increased urination at night depends on the underlying cause. Treatment for increased urination at night may include medications that relax the bladder.

Eat a mostly low-fat diet full of fruits and vegetables, which are high in helpful antioxidants. Plant proteins also help lower blood pressure and may help slow the growth of kidney cysts.

Reduce or eliminate animal proteins. Limit animal products to occasional broths, poultry, fish, low-fat cheese and egg whites, keeping quantities to 3 oz. per day or less.Avoid excess amounts of salt, which causes your blood pressure to rise.

Consume a diet rich in whole grains, vegetables and fruit, along with limiting consumption of trans and saturated fats wherever possible. A balanced meal should include a protein source, a fruit, a vegetable, a whole grain and some healthy unsaturated fats.
