Do you know what causes frequent urination?

Under normal circumstances, you should not urinate more than six times a day. This is normal. If you urinate more than this number of times, you may have a certain disease. From the current perspective, there are many reasons that lead to frequent urination, such as inflammatory stimulation, reduced bladder capacity, etc.

(1) Neurotic polyuria: Polyuria only occurs during the day or before going to sleep at night, often due to mental stress or hysteria. It may also be accompanied by urinary urgency and pain.

(2) Inflammation stimulation: When there is inflammation in the bladder, the nerve perception threshold is lowered, the urination center is in an excited state, resulting in frequent urination and reduced urine volume (<300-500 ml/time in adults). Therefore, frequent urination is an important symptom of cystitis, especially acute cystitis and tuberculous cystitis. Other diseases such as prostatitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, chronic balanoposthitis in children, and vulvitis can also cause frequent urination. Under the stimulation of inflammation, frequent urination, urgency, and pain often occur at the same time, which is called urinary tract irritation sign, commonly known as "tri-uria sign".

(3) Non-inflammatory stimulation: such as urinary tract stones and foreign bodies, usually with frequent urination as the main manifestation.

(4) Reduced bladder capacity: such as bladder space-occupying lesions, compression of the enlarged uterus during pregnancy, tuberculous bladder contracture, or large bladder stones.

(5) Increased urine volume: When urine volume increases, the frequency of urination will also increase accordingly. Under physiological conditions, such as drinking a lot of water, eating watermelon, and drinking beer, due to the increase in water volume first, through the regulation and filtration of the kidneys, the urine volume increases, the frequency of urination also increases, and frequent urination occurs. Under pathological conditions, such as some patients with diabetes and diabetes insipidus who drink a lot of water, have a lot of urine, and urinate frequently. However, there is no discomfort in urination.

Warm reminder: Abnormal urination not only threatens physical health, but also has psychological effects. Many men are unable to enjoy their sexual life and their sexual function declines. In severe cases, it can cause family disharmony. Common ones include impotence and premature ejaculation, which are an important branch of male sexual dysfunction. If the disease is not treated for a long time, it will inevitably lead to the emergence of other complications and affect the effect of later treatment.
