What are the causes of frequent urination and urgency in girls?

Metabolism is a physiological characteristic of human beings. We judge whether our body is normal by the number of metabolism. Whether we are male or female, we cannot ignore the metabolic status. It's not just men who experience frequent and urgent urination. Girls may also experience this situation. Let us now understand the reasons why girls have frequent and urgent urination.

1. Holding urine is a common bad habit among women. This will lead to two adverse consequences. First, urine stays in the bladder for a long time. If a small amount of bacteria invade, they have more time to multiply and invade the tissues. Second, when the bladder is full, the pressure increases, and urine will flow back up to the ureter. If bacteria have already invaded, they will be sent to a position further upstream, causing pyelonephritis.

2. Menstruation and sexual activity. Menstrual blood is the best culture medium for bacteria. Menstrual hygiene, especially the cleaning and disinfection of menstrual products, is an important part of reducing bacterial invasion. Sexual intercourse can push bacteria from the anterior urethra into the posterior urethra and bladder through mechanical pushing action. There are some clinical cases where the disease occurred after sexual intercourse, which illustrates this point. Sexual activity is an important part of married life. Of course, it is impossible to "throw the baby out with the bathwater". However, in cases where the disease recurs and the cause is related to sexual activity, appropriate abstinence is appropriate.

3. Due to the special structure of the female urinary and reproductive system, the female urethra is shorter and wider than the male urethra, making it easier for bacteria to enter. Therefore, women should enhance their awareness of self-protection. Because the female reproductive system is moist and hot, it provides a favorable place for bacteria. In addition, some women do not pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva, which causes them to suffer from frequent urination and urgency.

4. During pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will press against the bladder and ureters. Endocrine changes also slow down the dilation and peristalsis of the ureters, causing a slow urine flow or the formation of a mild effusion. This situation also facilitates bacterial invasion and reproduction, causing disease. In the past, some people used antibiotics for prevention, but this method is not advisable. Because the misuse of antibiotics may have certain negative effects on the mother and fetus, not to mention the long ten months of pregnancy, it is difficult to prevent. The safe way is to observe closely, check urine regularly and seek prompt treatment if any abnormality is found.

5. The female urethral opening is close to the vagina and anus, while the male urethral opening is far away from the perineum and there is a "spatial distance", so it is less likely to get urinary tract infection. The female urethra is very close to the vagina and anus. There are a large number of bacteria around the vagina and anus. Vaginal secretions are also a good culture medium, making it easier for bacteria to reproduce. Therefore, the way for women to prevent urinary tract infection is to clean frequently and minimize the number of bacteria to reduce the chance of disease.

The above are the reasons why girls have frequent and urgent urination. Each cause does not exist alone. Only by finding the cause of the disease can we draw some conclusions from it. Metabolic diseases are closely related to our daily eating habits and must not be ignored. We must develop good living habits in daily life.
