According to the Cleveland Clinic, waking up to urinate throughout the night is linked to the condition Nocturia, which can be seen as a sign of the disease.
Around 25 per cent of prostate cancer cases have reported suffering with serious cases of Nocturia. According to research the condition can also be a side effect of radiation treatment. The constant urge to urinate during the night can be caused by a tumour growing rapidly in size and pushing against the urethra, as we previously reported .
The Cleveland Clinic says: "This can be thought of as nocturnal urinary frequency - having to urinate more often at night." If you are experiencing systems of Nocturia you should seek medical advice promptly, as it is more frequently observed in the later stages of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer more than often can go unnoticed by the person, due to the lack of noticeable signs until the cancer has progressed.
