Reasons for frequent urination in women

1. Pregnancy

When a woman is pregnant, the uterus expands, causing the bladder and urethra to be compressed. In addition, endocrine changes in the human body will slow down the peristalsis of the urethra, resulting in a slow urine stream and urine congestion.

2. Inflammatory irritation

Acute cystitis, tuberculous cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, vulvitis, etc. can all cause frequent urination and urgency. Under the stimulation of inflammation, frequent urination, urgency, inability to hold urine, and painful urination may occur at the same time, which is called urinary tract irritation syndrome.

3. Urogenital system diseases

Urinary and reproductive system diseases can also cause urinary urgency and frequent urination, such as bladder stones, bladder tuberculosis, interstitial cystitis, and bladder tumors can also cause urinary urgency and frequent urination. Although this situation is relatively rare, the adverse effects are obviously greater.

4. Neurogenic urinary frequency

Patients with psychoneurotic frequent urination still need to go to the hospital for further detailed examination to determine the cause and carry out targeted and effective treatment.

5. Overactive bladder syndrome

Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) refers to a group of clinical symptoms characterized by frequent urination, urgency, inability to hold urine, and urge incontinence. The causes are very complex and may be caused by increased bladder fluid regulation (that is, excessive bladder sensitivity).

6. Drinking too much water

Increased urination is a physiological phenomenon. Under physiological conditions, such as drinking a lot of water, urination will increase due to the increased water flow, and the frequency of urination will also increase, resulting in frequent urination and urgency. In addition, under pathological conditions, such as some patients with diabetes and diabetes insipidus, they drink a lot of water, urinate a lot, and urinate more frequently.

7. Frequently holding urine

When you hold your urine, because the bladder is full and the pressure is high, it is easy for urine to flow back into the urethra. If bacteria have already invaded, it is easy to cause pyelonephritis and other symptoms.
