What should I do if I have frequent and urgent urination during pregnancy?

Pregnant women will encounter some very embarrassing things in their lives. For example, many women experience symptoms of frequent and urgent urination during pregnancy, which puts a great burden on their already immobile bodies. Severe frequent and urgent urination can also affect women's reproductive health. Let's take a look at what to do if you have frequent and urgent urination during pregnancy. I hope women can understand it.

Why do pregnant women urinate frequently and urgently?

1. Changes in bladder pressure. The main reason is that the fetus is growing bigger and the uterus is also growing bigger, which causes a certain change in the position of the organs in the pelvic cavity, forcing the bladder space to become smaller and the pressure to increase, so that the bladder capacity has to be reduced. Therefore, even if the amount of urine in the pregnant woman's bladder is very small, it will make the pregnant woman feel the urge to urinate, which will develop into frequent urination.

2. Symptoms are mild in the second trimester and most severe in the third trimester. After the fourth month of pregnancy, as the uterus moves out of the pelvic cavity and into the abdominal cavity, the pressure on the bladder gradually decreases, so the symptoms of frequent urination will gradually decrease. In the late pregnancy, because the fetal head is facing downward, the gravity of the uterus descends into the pelvic cavity, causing the pelvic cavity to be compressed by the size and gravity of the uterus again, causing the bladder pressure to increase again, and the frequent urination phenomenon to become more obvious. In even worse cases, urine will seep out of the urethra at the slightest effort, which is commonly known as "urinary incontinence."

How to solve frequent urination and urgency:

1. Bladder training therapy

Strengthen the nervous system's ability to control urination, reduce bladder sensitivity, and reverse abnormal urination habits.

2. Oral product therapy

You can choose the medicine suitable for your condition for oral treatment after consulting a doctor.

3. Blockade therapy

Perform blockade at the proximal urethra or bladder trigone. Although it can relieve the problem of frequent urination and urgency, it will cause certain harm to the urethra or bladder of the human body, and improper operation may easily cause inflammation.

4. Estrogen therapy

Appropriate low-dose estrogen therapy. However, male friends should use estrogen with caution, so as not to turn themselves into sissies.
