What causes frequent urination at night in women?

When frequent nocturia occurs, it can be very distressing, not only because it affects the body and prevents you from getting a normal rest, leading to depression and other symptoms. In severe cases, it may lead to more serious physical illnesses or serious psychological problems such as depression. It is very important to treat increased nocturia in this way. Let’s talk about the causes of increased nocturia.

Bladder factors

The bladder is an organ that stores urine. Under normal circumstances, the bladder can store a certain amount of urine. 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 a message and people will feel the 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. Generally speaking, B-ultrasound can detect related diseases without causing any harm to the human body.

Infectious factors

Due to the physiological characteristics of women, the total length of their urethra is much shorter than that of men, which creates opportunities for ascending infections such as bacteria, viruses, and pathogens. This is why the female urinary system is prone to infection in daily life. Once pathogenic microorganisms infect the body, if the amount is large or the patient's disease resistance is poor, their reproduction rate will accelerate, which will have a certain impact on the bladder. The stimulation of inflammation often causes the urge to urinate even when the urination is very small. This frequent urge to urinate is not a bad thing, as frequent urination can "drive out" bacteria from the bladder.

Psychological factors

People always have a feeling that when they are about to get on a train, board a plane, or depart, they habitually urinate, but many people feel the urge to urinate again soon after urinating. This is the result of mental effects. 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. If you often suffer from insomnia, indigestion, or severe neurasthenia, you will often urinate frequently before going to bed. This situation is more common in middle-aged women.

Increased nocturia is a symptom of a serious physical illness. If effective treatment and control can be carried out in time, it will not only improve the condition of increased nocturia, but also have a good therapeutic and preventive effect on certain diseases in the body before they occur. This is very meaningful for maintaining good health.
