Female frequent urination at night

Women should pay attention to the cleanliness of their private parts. It is best to wash them with warm water before going to bed every day to effectively prevent the invasion of bacteria. But why do women have frequent urination and urgency at night and cannot urinate completely? This condition is related to urethritis, which is caused by bacterial infection of the bladder. It may also be urethritis. In short, the inflammation reduces the bladder capacity, resulting in excessive urination and even uncomfortable symptoms when urinating.

Reasons for frequent urination and urgency in women

3. Reduced bladder capacity: such as bladder space-occupying lesions, tuberculous bladder contracture or large bladder stones.

4. Non-inflammatory irritation: such as urinary stones, foreign bodies, etc.

5. Increased urine volume: Under physiological conditions, such as drinking a lot of water, the urine volume will increase due to the increase in water intake, and the frequency of urination will also increase, resulting in frequent urination. Under pathological conditions, such as some patients with diabetes and diabetes insipidus, they drink a lot of water, urinate a lot, and urinate frequently.

6. Kidney disease: Our human urine is produced by the kidneys, so the condition of the urinary tract will reflect the health of the kidneys, so frequent urination is a manifestation of kidney disease.

8. Dietary polyuria: If you have frequent urination and a large amount of urine each time, but no other symptoms, you should first pay attention to whether you drink too much water, especially those who like to drink tea.

9. Neurogenic urinary frequency: The bladder detrusor muscle is underdeveloped and the nerves are not sound, which may lead to daytime spot polyuria, up to 20 to 30 times, but normal urination at night. There is a tendency of recurring attacks, and urine tests are normal. This disease is not caused by inflammation.

10. Urinary tract inflammation: If you have frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination or fever, you should consider urinary tract infection, such as cystitis, pyelonephritis, etc. Pus cells or a large number of white blood cells may be found under the urine microscope. In severe cases, there are symptoms of systemic infection and poisoning, which require antibiotic treatment.

11. Special diseases: If frequent urination is accompanied by large urine volume, and at the same time there is thirst, polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss, you should pay attention to check the urine. If the urine contains sugar, you should consider diabetes. If there is no sugar in the urine but the specific gravity is low, you should think of diabetes insipidus.
