My father had a brain tumor removed and now has to take a nasal spray called Desmopressin. His endocranologist only wants him to use it one time a day, but the problem is he goes to the bathroom sometimes every 15 minutes!!!! He is also on 1/2 mg of Dexamethasone and that's part of the problem. Sometimes he takes two puffs a day but the doctor doesn't want him to do that daily.
There is a drug called Desmopressin (DDAVP) it reduces urine production at night. But drinking too much liquid with the medication can cause problems, and Desmopressin should be avoided if you have symptoms such as a fever, diarrhea or nausea. Be sure to carefully follow instructions for using this drug.
Desmopressin is given orally as a tablet and is only for patients over 5 years old.
t it cause larger post void volumes?, which itself can cause nocturia. By the way by definition, nocturia alone, as in your case, is not a sufficient condition for Over Active Bladder (OAB) as can be seen from the following link:
http://www.auanet.org/common/pdf/education/clinical-guidance/Overactive-Bladder.pdf
In OAB, increased urinary frequency (both Day and Night) along with low urine volume with urgency, with out UTI are considered the main criteria.
t mention in your question what medication you were taking. Commonly central DI is treated with desmopressin. Desmopressin works by limiting the amount of water passed in the urine.
I don't know why you would suddenly notice a decrease in your symptoms after 34 years. I would recommend making an appointment with your regular doctor to see what might be causing this. Until you can be seen, it is important that you remain aware of your fluid intake and output.

I had later unprotected vaginal sex two months ago. 48 hrs later I developed urethral pruritus followed by "prostatic" symptoms (frequency, decreased stream, nocturia). It improved slightly while taking Septra DS for 4 weeks.
I month following the initial encounter I had sex (unprotected oral and vaginal) with the same woman for three days in a row. 5 days later I developed severe urethritis symptoms with frequency and pain on the penile tip when urinating. I had.
Is there a medication for Diabetes Insipidus other than Desmopressin? The headaches as a side affect are dibilitating.

The amount fluid intake by you is appropriate. Coming to nocturia it can occur due to a variety of conditions like diabetes, prostatic hyperplasia etc.
It would be better you get a check of blood sugars. Cramps in the calfs can occur due to dehydration, over exertion of muscles, alcohol, due to some drugs etc.
I think that cramps in the calf could be due to dehydration, but nocturia should be evaluated. Get a check of your blood sugars and take the opinion of your physician.
Take care.
DDAVP, Stimate, Minirin) is a synthetic replacement for vasopressin, the hormone that reduces urine production. It may be taken nasally, or as a tablet. Lack of the hormone vasopressin is more common in men than in women. Typically, those that do not produce enough will "correct" by the end of puberty (19-25 years old for men). Check with your urologist about the possibility of this treatment. Best of luck.
Chronic insomnia is more common in the elderly and can be caused by psychiatric disorders, such as conditioned insomnia, alcohol and substance abuse, depression and anxiety, chronic pain, nocturia, and many medical disorders such as congestive heart failure, hyperthyroidism, rheumatologic diseases, dementia, Parkinson's disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
After further reflection, we remembered that we went on the GAPS diet for several weeks at about the same time. And she was feeling not a good. She was having nocturia and feeling tired & weak in the mornings. After discussions with you guys, prayer and much thought; here is what I think happened. The GAPS diet is heavily meat and little to no carbs. I think that her absorption of her Nature-throid(NT) was reduced by the meat diet.
frequent urination, urgency, cloudy urine with an unusual smell, and nocturia. At one point, I wet the bed. I had to strain to urinate at times, even when I had extreme urgency, and the urine would dribble out.
Over time, most symptoms dissipated (especially the smelly/cloudy urine), but even now, 2.
I'm 29wks can't sleep to nocturia and my hips are killing me sleeping on my side's, body pillow helps somewhat.
I have polyuria and nocturia, but my bladder is hypotonic (bladder capacity normal). I think I have mild diabetes insipidus. In tests my nocturnal urine volume was about 1.5 liters (up to 5 times of urination).
If still the symptoms persist then medical treatment with desmopressin, imipramine and anticholinergics can be tried.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.

Hello,
Bed wetting at night is also called nocturia and since your son has started wetting the bed recently, so it can be due to excess intake of fluids at night, infection, constipation, caffeine intake, insufficient ADH production or diabetes. My suggestion would be to limit his fluid intake at night 1 hour before sleep and if the symptoms persist then get an evaluation done from a urologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
I am a 21 year old female and have had bladder issues (pressure, urgency, nocturia, urethra burning/squeezing feeling, difficulty urinating) for two years that won't go away and seemed to have begun after I became sexually active. At first, the doctors thought it was a UTI but the antibiotics stopped working after a while. I've been to numerous doctors (PCP, urologist, OBGYN, gastroenterologist, neurologist, chiropractor) and had many, many tests - yet no one can figure out the problem.
