Many people think that frequent urination and urgency are problems that only boys have. In fact, what they don’t know is that female friends are also likely to suffer from frequent and urgent urination. Frequent urination and urgency can drive many people crazy. After all, who would want to go to the toilet over and over again? But friends don’t have to worry too much. The editor has compiled some tips for women to deal with frequent and urgent urination during menstruation.

Why do women have frequent and painful urination? If you suffer from vaginitis, the amount of leucorrhea will increase, which will cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain, as well as varying degrees of itching, burning or pain, and fever will occur in the acute phase.

Vaginal wash can be used as a basis for identification based on the different characteristics of leucorrhea caused by different types of vaginitis:

1. Trichomonas vaginitis

The leucorrhea is grayish yellow, turbid, foamy, and has a foul odor. Sometimes it is a milky white or yellowish white thin liquid, and sometimes it is a yellowish green purulent foamy leucorrhea.

2. Fungal vaginitis

The leucorrhea is watery, curd-like, ointment-like, or has white flakes and crumbs, like tofu dregs.

3. Senile vaginitis

The leucorrhea is yellow and watery. When the infection is severe, the secretions may become purulent and have a foul odor, and there may occasionally be symptoms of spotting.

Women who suspect that they have frequent urination, urgency, and pain due to vaginitis should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination in time and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. They should not take any medication at will. But how can we judge ourselves in advance? The symptoms of frequent urination, urgency and pain in women are very similar to those of acute cystitis.

Symptoms of acute cystitis: The disease develops suddenly, often after excessive fatigue, cold, prolonged urination, or sexual intercourse. The course of the disease usually lasts for 1 to 2 weeks and disappears on its own or after treatment. Its characteristics are "acute" onset, "severe" inflammatory response, and "shallow" lesion site.

Its common symptoms include frequent urination, urgency, pain, pyuria and terminal hematuria, and even gross hematuria throughout the process. However, there will be no pyuria and hematuria caused by vaginitis.

In severe cases of acute cystitis, the bladder spasms due to inflammatory stimulation, making it impossible for the bladder to store urine, resulting in frequent urination that cannot be counted, and a phenomenon similar to urinary incontinence. These symptoms will not occur if it is caused by vaginitis. The site of acute inflammatory lesions is "shallow", the absorption capacity of the bladder mucosa is very weak, and frequent urination allows pyuria to be discharged in time. Therefore, the systemic symptoms of simple acute cystitis are mild and usually without fever. When vaginitis causes symptoms of frequent urination, urgency and pain, it may also be accompanied by fever.

Experts remind that patients should still seek medical attention in a timely manner. Treatment measures for frequent urination and urgency and pain in women:

First of all, you need to rest in bed, drink plenty of water, avoid irritating foods, and hot water sitz baths can improve blood circulation in the perineum and relieve symptoms. Alkaline drugs such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium citrate can reduce urine acidity and relieve bladder spasms. Flavonoids (Urinary Ling) can relieve spasms and reduce urinary tract irritation symptoms. The traditional 10-14 day antibacterial therapy is not necessary for uncomplicated cystitis. A single high-dose or a short course of 3 days is recommended both domestically and internationally.

In fact, if a woman experiences frequent and urgent urination, it is usually because she does not maintain good hygiene. This reminds us that we must maintain good personal hygiene, especially some private areas, which must be cleaned well.
