What to do if you have frequent urination during pregnancy

Pregnancy is a very important thing, but many women will experience various abnormalities in their bodies after pregnancy, a typical example of which is frequent urination. Because pregnancy is a very special situation, many women are very nervous and concerned about solutions. So, what should you do if you have frequent urination after pregnancy? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Do anal contraction exercises regularly

This can train the tone of the pelvic floor muscles and help control urination. You can also do pelvic relaxation exercises, which can help prevent stress incontinence. That means kneeling on all fours in a crawling motion, straightening your back, contracting your hip muscles, and pushing your pelvis toward your abdomen. Arch your back for a few seconds and then relax. But do it within your means.

2. Drink enough water

To alleviate frequent urination during pregnancy, expectant mothers can start by changing their daily life and water intake. In other words, you should drink water in moderation, but don't drink too much or in large quantities. When you go out, if you feel like urinating, you must go to the toilet and try not to hold your urine to avoid bladder inflammation or bacterial infection.

3. Seek medical attention promptly

If you feel pain when urinating, or the urge to urinate is unbearable, it is very likely that you have a bladder inflammation or bacterial infection. You must see a doctor immediately. If the treatment is not timely and thorough, it can often make the condition worse or cause it to become chronic, affecting the health of the mother and fetus.

4. Western medicine

One or more antibiotics, such as sulfonamides, ampicillin, and nitrofurantoin, can be used to treat bacteriuria during pregnancy or first-time urinary tract infection, with few side effects. Sulfonamides should not be used when the pregnancy is close to full term because the sulfonamides and bilirubin in the fetal blood compete for binding with plasma proteins, causing the concentration of free bilirubin in the plasma to increase. Ampicillin is also often used as the first or second choice drug.

The above is an introduction to what to do if you have frequent urination after pregnancy. I hope it will be helpful to women’s understanding. Pregnancy is a very important thing for women. No matter what abnormal situation occurs, women should pay attention to it. They can take these measures to improve it, and the effect is very good. If the effect is not good, be sure to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.
