What medicine is good for women with frequent urination and urgency?

Women are more susceptible to urinary tract infections because of their shorter urethra. In addition, common gynecological diseases in women, such as vaginitis, cervicitis, etc., can also cause urinary tract infections in women. This situation is more likely to occur when women do not pay attention to personal hygiene or have unclean sex life. The symptoms are inability to hold urine and always feeling the urge to urinate, which often causes great distress to women.
