Why do women urinate frequently at night?

Regarding the excretion of urine, except for children under three years old who do not know how to express and control the situation, normal adults are able to adjust the excretion according to the environmental conditions. Of course, the premise is to avoid holding urine for a long time. Of course, it may also be due to certain interferences or diseases, causing problems such as frequent urination and urgency, such as the problem of frequent urination in women at night. Let's discuss it together below.

Frequent urination in women is not caused by excessive urination due to drinking too much water, but rather the fact that they still urinate from time to time even when the amount of urine is small, which is characterized by "small amount and frequent urination". Bladder factors: The bladder is an organ that stores urine. Under normal circumstances, the bladder is sufficient to store a certain amount of urine (usually 300 ml). However, when the effective volume of the bladder is reduced due to disease, the amount of urine stored naturally decreases, and it is easy to feel the urge to urinate in a short period of time.

When the amount of urine gradually increases and forms a certain pressure in the bladder, the bladder will send out a message and people will feel the urge to urinate. If there is a tumor, stone, foreign body, ectopic endometrium occupying the bladder, or if the organs near the bladder are enlarged, such as ovarian tumor or cyst, pregnancy or uterine fibroids, excessive obesity, etc., the bladder will be subjected to external pressure, which will affect the effective volume of the bladder and may cause frequent urination. Even a small amount of urine will produce a strong urge to urinate.

Therefore, anyone who has frequent urination, especially elderly women, must pay enough attention and should consult a doctor or undergo necessary examinations to prevent major diseases from "slipping through the net" and causing great harm to their health.

In addition, it may also be a mental factor. When people are about to get on a train, board a plane, or depart, they tend to urinate. However, many people feel the urge to urinate again soon after urinating. This is the result of mental factors. The same is true when going to bed at night. Mental stress or neuropathy related to urination can cause nervous system reflex disorders and annoying frequent urination. Psychogenic polydipsia, polyuria and neurogenic cystitis are common psychoneurological factors.

The above explains the causes and influencing factors of frequent urination at night in women from the medical, physiological and spiritual perspectives. Among them, the mental factors can generally be eliminated slowly through the regulation and control of one's own mental state. However, if it is some inflammation of the urinary system, it is necessary to check as soon as possible and deal with it in time after diagnosis to improve the frequent urination as soon as possible.
