I just went to the toilet and I want to go to the toilet again. What is the cause of frequent urination?

Going to the toilet is a normal physiological phenomenon. It can expel waste from the body and is a normal metabolic process of the human body. Many people feel the urge to urinate shortly after going to the toilet. So what is the reason? Is it a disease?

I just went to the toilet and I want to go to the toilet again. What's going on?

1. The most obvious reason is drinking too much water or beverages, or the weather is cold or you are nervous, such as before an exam or an interview, in which case you may feel the urge to urinate not long after urinating.

2. Frequent urination caused by disease:

① Frequent urination caused by urinary system diseases such as cystitis, urethritis, prostatitis, and urethral polyps.

② Neurological diseases such as hysteria. In addition, peripheral neuropathy or central neuropathy that controls urination can also cause frequent urination.

③ Diseases that cause bladder mass occupation, such as bladder tumors, compression of the bladder by the gradually enlarging uterus during pregnancy, and compression of the bladder by ovarian tumors, which cause a decrease in bladder capacity, can also lead to frequent urination.

④ Diabetes, central nervous system diseases and other diseases leading to diabetes insipidus, anxiety and other reasons leading to psychogenic frequent urination.

If you feel the urge to defecate again shortly after urinating, first consider physiological reasons such as drinking water or beverages, cold weather, and being nervous. After excluding physiological reasons and pregnancy-induced urination, you need to consider the cause of the frequent urination and need further medical treatment to make a clear diagnosis and decide how to treat it.

What causes frequent urination?

The most common cause of frequent urination in young men is prostatitis, the most common cause of frequent urination in middle-aged and elderly men is prostate hyperplasia (prostate cancer needs to be ruled out), and the most common cause of frequent urination in women is urinary tract infection (neurogenic bladder and stress urinary incontinence need to be ruled out.)

In order to identify these diseases, it is necessary to check urine routine, urinary system color Doppler ultrasound, residual urine and urodynamics test if necessary. Treatment needs to be based on the cause, such as prostate hyperplasia can be treated by taking medication or prostate electrotomy, and urinary tract infection can be treated with anti-infection.

How many times a day is normal for a person to urinate

Under normal circumstances, most people urinate 4 to 6 times during the day. If the number of urination during the day does not exceed 8 times, and the urine volume each time is about 300 ml, it is considered normal. Normal people usually urinate no more than once at night. If they urinate twice, you need to be alert to whether there is something abnormal.

If you find that you urinate more frequently, you should control your water intake and maintain a good mental state to see if your urination can return to normal. If the symptoms still do not improve, go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis as soon as possible to avoid serious consequences due to delayed treatment.
