What is the cause of frequent urination

Absolutely everyone can face the problem of frequent urination. Endless visits to the toilet can disrupt not only your work process, but also your rest and interrupt your night's sleep. And this leads to problems not only with the genitourinary system and kidneys, but also with the heart. Therefore, in this article we will tell you the reasons and signs that you should pay attention to and take tests to clarify the diagnosis.

Signs of Frequent Urination

In medical practice, it is considered normal to urinate up to 12 times per day. But provided that the person consumes a sufficient amount of fluid and does not go on diets.

If you notice that you are visiting the toilet more often than usual, then you should think about your diet. Quite often there is a situation when a person eats little food and drinks a lot of water. The stomach has nothing to digest and, accordingly, for one day a piece of earthenware can become your friend.

In other cases, you should consult a doctor.

Causes of frequent urination

The causes of frequent urination for men and women are different diseases, as provided by nature. Therefore, we will consider characteristic diseases for different sexes separately.

Men may suffer from the following diseases:

• prostatitis;
• prostate adenoma;
• in rare cases, cystitis - 2%;
• urolithiasis;
• kidney inflammation;
• diabetes mellitus

Prostatitis is an acute disease that is accompanied by pain and cutting in the groin area. When you go to the toilet and try to pee, a small amount of urine is released. The person does not feel relief, and after a short time visits the toilet again.

Prostate adenoma is a benign tumor that occurs mainly in men over the age of 50. Young people generally do not suffer from this disease.

Cystitis is a predominantly female disease, but 2% of men are diagnosed with this condition. Accompanied by sharp pain, a small amount of urine, possibly with bleeding.

Urolithiasis is the appearance of kidney stones. The pain is localized in the lower back. During the active phase of the disease, unbearable pain may occur.

Inflammation of the kidneys - pyelonephritis. It is characterized by aching pain in the lumbar region, the temperature rises, weakness and chills appear.

Diabetes mellitus affects both men and women. Symptoms are a constant feeling of thirst, dry mouth, itchy skin.

Diseases that precede frequent urination in women:

• cystitis;
• infections, which are transmitted through sexual contact - chlamydia, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea;
• kidney stones;
• uterine fibroids;
• weak bladder walls.

Cystitis —  inflammation  urinary  bubble,  which  accompanies  cramps  at  urination,  pain  in  lumbar  department.

Infections or diseases transmitted sexually are also dangerous. Once inside the body, they cause inflammation of the pelvic organs, which leads to frequent urination.

Stones  in  kidneys  or  urolithiasis  illness  meets  not  only  at  men,  but  and  at  women.  Symptoms  similar.

Myoma  uterus —  benign  tumor,  which  by  least  growth  starts  press  on  urinary  bubble.

Weak bladder walls are common in women who have reached menopause. Fewer hormones are produced and the internal organs of the pelvis are weakened.

Frequent urination without pain

Sometimes frequent trips to the toilet are not associated with any disease, but directly depend on our mood, nutrition and weather conditions.

While conducting research, scientists noticed that women experiencing stress visit the toilet much more often than men. And only 1% of the stronger sex had similar processes identified.

Urination without pain may occur due to diet. For example, a nutritionist advises drinking more water to achieve a positive result or recommends a vegetable diet. And as everyone knows, many vegetables consist of 70% water. Therefore, you can only sin on your diet.

Another important point is pregnancy. As the fetus grows, it puts more and more pressure on the mother’s internal organs. As a result, frequent urination occurs. This is perhaps the best reason of all those mentioned.

Cold plays an important role in this matter. When the body freezes or becomes severely hypothermic, it gets rid of unnecessary fluid just to avoid dying. A natural reaction is frequent visits to the toilet.

But  besides  these  reasons,  exist  and  illnesses,  which  are hidden  in  our  body.

For example,  this is  maybe  be  fibroids  uterus,  adenoma  prostate,  STD,  sugar  diabetes.

Availability  these  diseases  not  says  o  inflammation  himself  bubble,  therefore  characteristic  pain  none.

Frequent  urination  by  at night

How  same  I want  by  at night  sleep  and  get enough sleep,  but  peace  not  gives  ordinary  need  empty  urinary  bubble.

• PMS;
• STD.

General  problems  for  both  floors:

• snoring  or  apnea;
• stones  in  kidneys.

If you get up to go to the toilet more than once a night, then immediately contact a urologist. Otherwise, the disease may progress and treatment may take many months.

Frequent urination in a child

Any mother worries about her child. And that's good.

But first, let’s figure out how often the baby should go to the toilet:

• newborn babies pee up to 25 times a day;
• children from 6 months to one year - up to 17 times per day;
• from one year to 7 years - up to 11 times per day;
• from 7 years and older - up to 10 times per day.

If you notice that the child goes to the toilet more often, then pay attention to his diet and environment. After all, frequent urination does not necessarily indicate the presence of any diseases.

The reasons may be:

• drinking soda and green tea;
• the prescribed drugs have a diuretic side effect;
• hypothermia;
• stressful situation.

If all this is excluded, then you need to go to the doctor.

Because the following diseases occur:

• kidney dysfunction;
• dysfunction of the endocrine system;
• central nervous system diseases and neuroses;
• diabetes mellitus

Therefore, urgently visit a pediatrician and urologist.

Treating Frequent Urination

How we all love to self-medicate and prescribe medications for ourselves. But not in this situation. The problem is very serious and requires consultation and examination by more than just one specialist. Therefore, first, go to a therapist and tell us about your problem.

Based on symptoms, the doctor prescribes:

• blood tests;
• urine test;
• ECG.

Based on the results, the therapist refers you to a specialist. Women see a urologist and gynecologist. Men visit only a urologist.

The doctor may order additional ultrasound examinations and extensive blood tests.

It is important to know: do not limit yourself in drinking. If you think that you will go to the toilet less often, you are mistaken. The body will begin to urgently extract the necessary water from your cells and dehydration will occur, which can greatly harm your health. Therefore, do not wait for the condition to worsen, but go to the doctor at the very beginning of the disease.
