What are the causes of frequent urination in women?
With the development of society, women have also taken up half of the sky and joined the fast-paced work life. Accompanying the fierce commercial competition and tense working atmosphere, various diseases have also followed. Frequent urination in women is one of the major diseases, which has brought great impact on women's lives and health.
So, what exactly does frequent urination in women refer to?
Gynecological experts introduce: a significant increase in the number of times a woman urinates is an indication of frequent urination. Normally, an adult urinates 4-6 times during the day and 0-2 times at night after going to bed. If the frequency of urination significantly increases and exceeds the aforementioned range, it is considered frequent urination.
Generally speaking, if frequent urination is accompanied by urgency and pain during urination, it may be a urinary tract infection. If nocturia is frequent, it may be due to kidney deficiency.
What are the causes of frequent urination in women?
Experts introduce: there are many reasons for frequent urination in women. Below, we will introduce several common causes.
[1] Increase in urine volume
In physiological conditions, such as drinking large amounts of water, eating watermelon, or drinking beer, due to increased water intake, through the regulation and filtration function of the kidneys, the urine volume increases, the frequency of urination also increases, thus resulting in frequent urination.
In pathological conditions, such as some diabetes or diabetes insipidus patients who drink a lot of water, have a high urine output, and frequent urination. However, there is no feeling of discomfort during urination.
[2] Psychoneurotic frequent urination Only seen during the day or before going to bed at night, often due to nervous tension or seen in patients with hysteria. At this time, it may also be accompanied by urgency and pain during urination.
[3] Reduced bladder capacity Such as bladder space-occupying lesions, compression by an enlarged uterus during pregnancy, tuberculous bladder contraction, or larger bladder stones.
[4] Non-inflammatory stimulation Such as urinary tract stones, foreign bodies, usually mainly manifested as frequent urination.
[5] Inflammatory stimulation
When there is inflammation in the bladder, the nerve sensory threshold decreases, the micturition center is in an excited state, causing frequent urination, and the urine volume decreases (adults <300-500 ml/time). Therefore, frequent urination is an important symptom of cystitis, especially acute cystitis and tuberculous cystitis are more obvious. Under inflammatory stimulation, frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination often appear simultaneously, known as urinary tract irritation signs, commonly referred to as "three urination signs."
Experts remind: frequent urination in women can greatly affect their lives. Therefore, if women experience frequent urination, they should go to the hospital for examination as early as possible, clarify the cause, and undergo targeted treatment.
