Customer question:
What can frequent pain-free urination indicate? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Frequent desire to urinate without pain can be a symptom of bladder or kidney problems and indicate a urinary tract infection. Urgent and frequent urination can also result from side effects of medications, diabetes, or pregnancy. One of the most common causes of a strong urge to urinate with little urine produced is bladder inflammation or a urinary tract infection.
Urinating is a complex process involving different body systems, which means several factors can cause problems with this critical task. The lifestyle should include drinking plenty of fluids to keep the kidneys functioning optimally.
Other causes or associated factors may be as follows:
- urethritis
- bladder tumor
- sexually transmitted infections
- tumor in the pelvic region
- interstitial cystitis, a type of inflammation of the bladder wall
- certain medicines such as diuretics
- neurological problems
- stones in the urinary tract
- radiotherapy
You may suffer from a urinary tract infection if frequent urination is accompanied by a fever, an urgent need to urinate, and abdominal pain or discomfort. Less common causes are pelvic organ prolapse (in women), bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, bladder dysfunction, and radiation therapy.
