Why does frequent urination occur in women? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Frequent urination in women can occur for a variety of reasons, including the following:
- Urinary tract infection: A bladder infection (cystitis) or urinary tract infection can cause frequent urination. Symptoms may also include pain or burning during urination, a feeling of urgency to urinate, cloudy urine, and pain in the lower abdomen.
- Stress Incontinence: In stress incontinence, there is a sudden leakage of urine during activities such as coughing, sneezing, or lifting heavy loads. This can cause a feeling of constant need to urinate.
- Excessive fluid intake: Excessive fluid intake, especially before bed, can increase the frequency of urination.
- Pregnancy: in early pregnancy, hormonal changes and increased pressure of the uterus on the bladder can cause more frequent urination.
- Neurological disorders: Neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries can affect bladder control and cause more frequent urination.
- Interstitial cystitis is a chronic condition that causes pain and pressure in the bladder and can lead to more frequent urination.
- Menopause: Menopause can cause changes in hormone levels, which can further affect the bladder and cause more frequent urination.
- Psychogenic causes: emotional stress or anxiety can cause frequent urination, even if there is no physiological cause for this condition.
