Causes of frequent urination in women:

It is important to remember that you can get rid of frequent urination only after eliminating the causes of the disease. As a result of self-treatment with folk remedies or inadequate therapy in the case of inflammatory diseases, urinary incontinence or persistent muscular hypotonicity of the bladder may develop.

The main criterion for subjectively determining the presence of such an abnormal condition as frequent urination, is the degree of personal comfort. This means that for one individual, eight urinations per day may be normal, since it does not cause any inconvenience. For another individual, the number of urinations per day should not exceed three or four so that such a person can feel comfortable and not experience physical or psychological discomfort. Thus, normal urination frequency is a very subjective concept, and is determined by the person himself.

Due to such variability of reference values, it is advisable to define the term frequent urination as an increase in the frequency of trips to the toilet for minor needs relative to previously observed average values ​​characteristic of this particular person. During one trip to the toilet to urinate, the average person produces 200-300 ml of urine.

The main reasons leading to the development of frequent urination

There are four main groups of factors leading to the development of frequent urination:
1. Physiological factors
2. Pathology of the urinary system
3. Pathology of various organs and systems, leading to the secondary development of the symptom of high frequency of urination
4. Taking drugs that increase urination

Physiological factors that provoke frequent urination

Dietary features include abundant fluid consumption, especially caffeine-containing drinks, alcohol (beer, champagne), carbonated drinks, and consumption of foods with diuretic properties (watermelon, melon, cranberries, lingonberries, cucumber, etc.). In such a situation, an increase in the frequency of urination is not a sign of any pathological condition, but is only a natural reaction to excess fluid consumed, which is subject to increased excretion. In a state of stress, excitement or tension of any other nature, vasoconstriction occurs and the amount of oxygen delivered to the body’s tissues is reduced. In such a situation of oxygen starvation, the human body compensatory produces more urine, which also causes more frequent trips to the toilet to urinate. You shouldn’t be afraid of this phenomenon, because even a healthy athlete visits the restroom every 15-20 minutes before the start of a competition.

If, in an adult or child, tension of any nature (psychological, physical) persists for a long time, then frequent urination begins to cause discomfort. In this situation, you need to understand and identify the cause of the tension, which, if eliminated, will automatically relieve the problem with the frequency of going to the toilet. Physiological factors that increase the frequency of urination also include pregnancy, especially the first and last trimesters. A pregnant woman in this case does not need special treatment. Sometimes severe hypothermia leads to a short-term urination disorder such as an increase in its frequency, however, in the absence of chronic inflammatory diseases of the urinary system, this condition quickly goes away on its own without special treatment.

The nature of urination in various physiological conditions

Pathologies of the urinary system, accompanied by frequent

excretion of urine Pathologies of the urinary system can also manifest themselves as symptoms of nocturia and pollakiuria, with the latter being more common. This group of diseases has an unfavorable prognosis, and it will not be possible to eliminate frequent urination using simple physiological methods. If you have diseases of the urinary system, it is necessary to undergo a thorough comprehensive examination and undergo a course of full treatment.
Frequent urination may be caused by the following diseases of the genitourinary tract:

• weakness of the muscles of the bladder walls;
• chronic renal failure;
• overactive bladder.

An overactive bladder is a symptom complex that occurs as a result of disorders in the peripheral nervous system, as a result of which nerve impulses cause the organ to contract strongly. It is the strengthening of nerve signals that provokes frequent emptying of the bladder. This condition is characterized by the presence of an imperative urge to urinate that cannot be ignored.

The presence of inflammatory genitourinary diseases is also accompanied by the development of the symptom of increased bladder emptying. When cystitis is combined with frequent urination, a person suffers from a painful and painful urge to urinate. It is possible to develop urinary incontinence at night. In addition to the frequency of trips to the toilet, urethritis is accompanied by a painful process of urination. Pyelonephritis combines frequent, slightly painful urine output with lower back pain in the kidney area. The urge to urinate increases, the frequency increases when walking, cooling, strong physical and emotional stress.

The genesis of the development of frequent urination in urolithiasis is a combination of factors of chronic inflammation of the walls of the bladder and chronic stretching of them by stones. Due to a combination of these reasons, urine is excreted quite often and in small portions, which is due to severe irritation of the inflamed walls of the organ and its small volume. Due to the presence of stones, the bladder is not able to fully contract, so there is almost always a small amount of unreleased urine left in it.

The nature of urination and accompanying symptoms for various
pathological conditions of the urinary tract

The symptom of frequent urination in diseases of an infectious-inflammatory nature is not a single symptom - as a rule, it is combined with other signs of any pathological condition of an organ or system. Information about the characteristics of urination and accompanying symptoms is presented in the table.

Frequent urination in pathologies of various organs and systems

• diabetes insipidus;
• prostate tumors in men;
• pelvic floor injuries.

So, diseases of the genitourinary area are characterized mainly by the development of pollakiuria. Pathologies of other organs and systems that lead to the secondary development of the symptom of frequent urination are mainly manifested by nocturia. Such pathological conditions include diseases of the cardiovascular system with the development of failure. With such diseases, in the daytime during walking and vigorous activity, the formation of hidden edema occurs, which begins to subside at night, when the body is at rest. Pathology of the cardiovascular system provokes the development of nocturia in both women and men.

In men, there is another reason why frequent night urination may develop - this is prostate adenoma or any other tumor formation localized in this area. With prostate adenoma, the tumor compresses the urinary tract, preventing the bladder from completely emptying. This incomplete emptying of the bladder leads to frequent urination.

In women and men, frequent urination, not associated with diseases of the urinary system, can be provoked by anatomical features, injuries to the pelvic area, previous surgeries in the pelvic floor, bladder, etc. With the development of prolapse of the internal genital organs, women also develop the symptom of frequent urination.

Classic diseases that cause frequent bladder emptying are diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus. Diabetes insipidus develops as a result of damage to one of the parts of the brain – the neurohypophysis. Due to a violation of the nervous regulation of the urinary system, the process of urine formation in the kidneys is disrupted, which leads to frequent urination with the loss of a large amount of fluid from the body. In such a situation, a person drinks a lot in order to compensate for the loss of the liquid component. With normal diabetes mellitus, there is a triad of symptoms - diabetes (frequent and copious urination), constant thirst and dry mouth. Patients with diabetes drink a lot, excrete a lot of urine, but they are tormented by a constant feeling of dry mouth. Itching may develop in the area of ​​the external opening of the urethra and genitals due to the irritating effect of sugar.

In the situations described above, the symptom of frequent urination is secondary, so its therapy is reduced to treating the underlying disease.

Increased urination when taking medications

For any manifestation of the symptom of frequent urination, it is better to consult a doctor and undergo a preventive examination in order to find out the true cause of the development of the pathological phenomenon.

It is not customary to talk about how often you want to go to the toilet, since such an action is purely personal and individual for each person. When such a process occurs more often than usual, then, probably, every normal person begins to think about possible problems with their health. Many men and women currently experience an increased urge to urinate, although the fairer sex is much more likely to experience this problem.

Frequent urination in women without pain - causes and treatment

It has been proven that frequent urination is accompanied by many diseases of the urinary system, and they, in turn, require prompt and proper treatment. If such a problem is painful and is observed in women, then this most likely indicates a disease.

What to do if urination occurs without pain? What is the reason, and what measures should be taken in such a situation? In this article we will look at the answers to these tricky questions.

It is known that the kidneys are responsible for the process of creating urine in the human body, while the peripheral and central systems are responsible for the process of urination in the body. The average person urinates three to seven times a day. If a person visits the toilet more than 10 times in 24 hours, then it is worth thinking about his health, even if he does not feel pain.

Excessive urination during the day in urology is called polyuria, if more than 3 liters of urine are released per day. Frequent urination at night is called nocturia if you have to get up to go to the toilet more than once during the night.

There are many reasons why women experience excessive urination. The fact is that the reasons can be in the physiological characteristics of the female body, or have a pathological origin, this is due to the fact that many diseases of the genitourinary system of non-infectious or infectious origin are characterized by frequent urination.

Based on the above, it should be understood that frequent trips to the bathroom in women only indicate symptoms that indicate paying attention to lifestyle and one’s own health.

Physiological causes of excessive urination

Frequent urination in women without pain is explained by natural causes, in other words, it occurs against the background of certain factors that do not affect human health.

Doctors distinguish many physiological reasons that provoke a frequent urge to urinate:

• stress, nervous strain and long-term depression are very often the cause of the problem in question;
• the use of a variety of drugs with a diuretic effect. It has been proven that while taking such medications, the removal of fluid from the body increases;
• excessive consumption of coffee, tea and alcoholic beverages;
• poor nutrition leads to disturbances in salt metabolism, which irritates the bladder (fatty foods, salty and spicy foods, spices);
• hypothermia of the body, this is especially often observed when the feet are cold;
• age-related changes. The urge to urinate is more often experienced by women of the climatic period, in comparison with reproductive age. This is due to hormonal changes in the female body;
• period of menstruation in women. During this period, as a rule, there is excessive removal of fluid from the female body.

Due to frequent trips to the toilet, women experience great discomfort, both physical and psychological. Frequent, painless urination is generally not a threat to women's health, although if trips to the toilet become more frequent over time, bother you at night, and there is blood in the urine, then you should definitely visit a doctor. Such signs do not yet guarantee a serious illness, but it is better to prevent the disease than to treat it at the last stage.

Pathological causes of excessive urination in women

In women, the genitourinary system is characterized by high sensitivity to a variety of pathogens. Once they penetrate the body, various diseases begin to develop. Most diseases of the urinary system, including diseases of the kidneys and pelvic organs, are characterized by frequent urination, although other symptoms are also observed.

Various discharge, pain when emptying the bladder, and deterioration in general condition are observed by doctors in such diseases.

Urolithiasis

The presence of stones in the bladder or ureter causes a strong urge to urinate. They intensify while walking and under various loads. This disease is characterized by a feeling of a full bladder, both during and after urination. In addition, pain in the lower abdomen is quite common.

Cystitis

This disease is considered quite common and is accompanied by frequent trips to the toilet. In addition, cystitis is characterized by burning and cutting pain during urination and a sensation of a full bladder. More serious cases are characterized by urinary incontinence. Doctors with cystitis also note pain in the lower abdomen, which occurs both at night and during the day.

Congenital pathologies of the walls of the bladder

This pathology is characterized by sudden and fairly frequent urges.

Cardiovascular diseases

If excessive urination occurs at night, this is often explained by vascular and heart diseases. In addition to nocturia, there may be edema, which appears after the use of diuretics and further removal of fluid from the female body.

Chronic pyelonephritis

In addition to the frequent desire to empty their bladder, many women feel a dull pain in the lower back, and their body temperature increases to 39 degrees Celsius. During an exacerbation, the patient is treated with antibacterial drugs.

Diabetes mellitus

In the case where the cause of such a problem is pathological in nature, treatment is carried out after an accurate diagnosis under the supervision of a doctor.

Frequent urination during pregnancy

As you know, pregnancy is a period when all women experience an increased urge to urinate. This phenomenon is not considered a pathology, but is a physiological and normal process and does not affect the fetus in any way.

In the female body in the 1st trimester During pregnancy, hormonal changes are observed, the amount of gonadotropin (chorionic) increases, which often provokes the urge to visit the toilet. Already in the 1st trimester of pregnancy, the uterus begins to enlarge and puts pressure on the bladder. One of the main reasons for frequent visits to the toilet is also considered to be the intensive work of the kidneys in pregnant women.

Already in the 2nd trimester During pregnancy, frequent urination is almost no problem. An exception may be only diseases of the urinary system.

In the 3rd trimester trips to the toilet become more frequent again, because the uterus, as in the 1st trimester, puts pressure on the bladder. During this period, the kidneys work much faster than usual, which is why there is often a desire to empty the bladder.

It must be remembered that an increased urge to urinate can be observed in a variety of diseases of the genitourinary system, and therefore you should not delay a visit to the doctor, especially if, in addition to such a problem, there is a burning sensation, pain and other unpleasant symptoms.

During pregnancy, a woman bears full responsibility for the health of her unborn child, which is why the presence of disorders in the body or suspicions about this must be discussed with an experienced doctor.

In what situations and when should you consult a doctor?

Frequent urination during the day or at night is a symptom that indicates that it is time to change your usual lifestyle. If, in addition, other symptoms occur, then it is imperative to visit a urologist.

The main indications for going to the doctor are the following:

1. burning and stinging during urination;
2. pain in the lower abdomen;
3. general weakness in the body;
4. urinary retention or incontinence;
5. discharge (bloody) from the genitals;
6. lack of appetite.

If you have the symptoms listed above and often feel the urge to visit the toilet, you should visit a doctor as soon as possible. After an examination, test results and collected medical history, he will be able to diagnose the patient and prescribe correct and effective treatment.

It is important to understand that untimely treatment can lead to the progression of the disease, which can become chronic in the future and negatively affect the reproductive system, or lead to severe consequences for overall health.

How to treat frequent urination?

In cases where excessive urination in women has become regular and there are suspicions about its pathological nature, you must definitely go to see a doctor, who, after completing the examination, must find the cause and prescribe an appropriate solution to the problem.

First of all, a woman should be wary of frequent trips to the toilet at night and pain of various types during the process of emptying the bladder.

When the cause of frequent urination is illness, treatment will usually depend on the diagnosis made by the doctor. For example, if frequent trips to the toilet are observed against the background of various infectious diseases that are caused by pathogenic harmful bacteria, then the doctor should prescribe antibacterial therapy for the patient.

If frequent urges to visit the toilet occur against the background of disturbances in the functionality of the kidneys or as a result of diseases (gynecological), then in this case the doctor prescribes symptomatic therapy, its action is aimed at eliminating the causes of the disease. In some cases, the cause of this problem may be a hormonal imbalance. In such a situation, after examination, the doctor prescribes hormonal drugs to the patient.

An important fact is that hormonal medications can, in some cases, cause great harm to the human body, and therefore the doctor must prescribe treatment individually for each patient so as not to harm his health even more.

When women experience frequent urination without pain, but no pathology is found after a full examination, the reason may be in the woman’s lifestyle. In such cases, the doctor should give the patient useful recommendations on drinking regime, nutrition, and tell him how to avoid factors that provoke the problem in question.

If a woman suffers from frequent urination due to a physiological nature, then she is recommended to adhere to the following basic rules:

• When urinating, you need to tilt your torso forward, which will help empty the bladder completely;
• limit fluid intake in the evening;
• Doctors recommend going to the toilet upon request;
• remove from the diet foods that cause thirst (smoked, salty, spicy foods);
• limit the consumption of liquids that have a diuretic effect (rosehip decoction, green tea, coffee).

Even painless frequent urination, which bothers you for a long time, should not be ignored. There is no need to neglect your health, because only a timely visit to the doctor will help you find out the real causes of the problem and prescribe effective therapy.

The health of every woman is the most important component of any nation, and the symptoms that arise against the background of various disorders should be dealt with by a doctor.

Frequent urination in women without pain - causes and treatment

Frequent urination is the urge to go to the toilet, which is observed in an adult more than 10 times a day, provided that he drinks no more than 2 liters of fluid per day. In children under 12-14 years of age, the normal frequency of urination exceeds that of adults and depends on age.

Frequent urge to urinate should make you think about the cause of this phenomenon.

The amount and/or volume of daily urine excreted may increase due to various diseases. So, similar symptoms can be caused by diseases of the prostate in men and the uterus - inflammation of the kidneys and even a brain tumor. Doctors of narrow specialties should understand the causes and prescribe appropriate treatment: urologist, nephrologist, gynecologist, endocrinologist and neurologist. The purpose of our publication is to provide guidance on which specialist should be visited first.

The norm for going to the toilet in small ways

Before considering the causes of frequent urination, you need to evaluate whether we are really talking about frequent urination. To do this, familiarize yourself with the physiological norms:

These are the values ​​that should be observed under the following conditions:

• human body temperature – 36.2-36.9°C;
• ambient temperature – less than 30°C;
• 30-40 ml/kg of body weight was drunk (this figure will be different for children under one year of age);
• did not use diuretics in tablets, as well as rosehip decoction, coffee, green tea in large quantities;
• no shortness of breath and/or rapid breathing.

At the same time, a person should not urinate at night, a maximum of 1 time, and the volume of urine excreted should not exceed 200-300 ml in an adult.

Advice! If your or your child’s numbers are higher than the above norm, then in order to understand the etiology of this condition, you need to measure the total volume of daily urine, and also pay attention to the accompanying symptoms. Further we will consider frequent urge to go to the toilet in conjunction with these signs.

If urination is frequent and painful

The appearance of this symptom indicates problems of the genitourinary system in both women and men. The cause is indirectly indicated by the location of the pain, so we will look at it.

Pain in the lumbar region

If your kidneys hurt and you experience frequent urination, this usually indicates the following pathologies:

1. . The acute process is difficult to miss: there is an increase in temperature and severe pain in the lower back, which can radiate to the abdomen. With an exacerbation of chronic sluggish pyelonephritis, frequent urination and pain in the kidneys and lower abdomen come to the fore. In addition, the volume of daily urine will also be increased, and single portions, on the contrary, will be reduced. The color of urine is usually unchanged.
2. . Single portions of urine are reduced, the color is either normal, or an admixture of blood is visible. People urinate more often during the day, but walking a few times is also possible at night. Also, the temperature often rises and the urine becomes cloudy.

Pain in the lower abdomen

Pain in the lower abdomen that accompanies frequent urination indicates problems with the bladder neck and urethra.

If the bladder hurts and frequent urination, this indicates a pathology of the lower parts of the urinary system:

1. Inflammation of the urethra (). At the same time, the daily volume of urine increases, the urine itself becomes cloudy, and mucus, pus or blood can be seen in it with the “naked eye.” A characteristic symptom is that, despite the painfulness of the urination process, there is a persistent desire to urinate at the very end (when the entire volume of urine has been released).
2. . This disease is the most common cause of frequent urination. In this case: the urine is reddish, sometimes pus is visible in it, it is released with pain in the pubic area, in small portions, with an imperative urge. Body temperature is elevated, symptoms of intoxication are observed: weakness, nausea, loss of appetite.
3. Tumors in the bladder neck area may have symptoms similar to cystitis, but there will be no symptoms of intoxication, pus in the urine or increased body temperature.
4. may have similar manifestations if the stone blocks the flow of urine. An increase in temperature is possible, but there will be no symptoms of intoxication. The pain may go away with taking antispasmodics and changing body position.
5. Prostate adenoma. In this case, the urge to urinate is not painful, but the process itself is felt by pain in the suprapubic region, a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder. Night urination is also noted.
6. Neurogenic () bladder. In this case, the person’s condition is not disturbed, the urine does not change color, but frequent urination occurs after a strong urge, which is painful.
7. Narrowing of the urethra due to acquired or congenital causes. Apart from difficult and painful urination, there are no other symptoms.

Frequent and painless urination

Frequent urination without pain is a symptom of a huge number of diseases. Let's try to consider some of them.

Physiological causes in adults and children

Urination may become more frequent when:

• taking large amounts of spicy, sour and salty foods, alcohol. There will be no pain, an increased volume of light urine is released, more than 200 ml at a time. Other symptoms include only mild tickling in the urethra during urination;
• stress, tension, excitement: a large daily amount of urine of normal color is released, while the single volume of urination is not increased. There may be a feeling that you need to urinate more, although the person has just gone to the toilet;
• pregnancy: in this case, other signs indicating this condition will be observed;
• along with menstruation;
• after freezing - for several hours.

Pathological causes

They can be roughly divided into those that cause predominantly nighttime and increased urination around the clock.

Frequent urination at night can be caused by:

1. Cardiovascular failure. In this case, swelling will be noted in the legs, sometimes even higher (on the abdomen), interruptions in the functioning of the heart or pain in it, and shortness of breath.
2. Diabetes mellitus. Increased thirst and dry mouth are also noted; the skin becomes dry, wounds and cracks easily appear on it, which do not heal well.
3. Adenoma and carcinoma of the prostate. Symptoms other than nighttime urination may not be noticed. During the day, a man can feel quite well, only urinate in small portions. You can get more information about these and other male diseases that lead to frequent urination from the article:.

A person will urinate equally frequently both during the day and at night when:

• diabetes insipidus. At the same time, he is constantly tormented by thirst and drinks a lot, but, unlike his sugar “brother,” there is no dry mouth, dry and itchy skin;
• cystocele (prolapsed bladder): more common in women who have given birth. In addition to painless frequent urination, urinary incontinence will also be noted: when coughing, lifting heavy objects, laughing, and later during sexual intercourse;
• spinal cord injuries and tumors;
• weakness of the muscles that make up the wall of the bladder. The disease begins in childhood and is characterized by no changes in the general condition, but only frequent urination in small portions of urine, as well as a strong urge to urinate;
• uterine fibroids. In this case, painful periods, intermenstrual bleeding, and a large volume of monthly blood loss will also be noted;
• taking diuretics.

What to do if you have frequent urination

Treatment of pollakiuria is prescribed by a doctor, since it directly depends on the cause of this condition

Urinary disorder without incontinence

Sometimes children experience a sudden significant increase in urinary frequency, sometimes every 10 to 15 minutes throughout the day, without symptoms of dysuria, urinary tract infection, daytime urinary incontinence, or nocturia.

Duration of pollakiuria

This disease is absolutely harmless and goes away on its own. Sometimes symptoms go away after 1-4 weeks. But more often the disease lasts 2 or 3 months. Rare cases have been described in which the disease lasted for 5 months. In all cases, the disease resolved on its own, without any consequences. Some children may have relapses of this disease, that is, it may recur after complete recovery.

How to help your child

1. Convince your child that he is physically healthy. Tell your child that his body, kidneys, bladder... everything he worries about is fine. Because family members may convey their anxiety to him, and he may be afraid that there is something wrong with his body, that he is in danger. Convince him as many times as you deem necessary that he is healthy, that soon everything will pass without a trace.

2. Explain to your child that if he wants, he can learn to wait longer periods of time between urinations. Convince him that he most likely will not wet himself, because this is what the child is afraid of. If he does get exhausted, don’t hesitate to talk to him about it, explain that this sometimes happens to children, there’s nothing wrong with it. Tell him that the return to normal frequency of urination will happen gradually. If frequent urination bothers him while shopping or walking, try not to take him far from the house during this period.

3. Help your child relax. Frequency of urination can be an indicator of internal tension. Make sure your child has free time and positive emotions and favorite activities every day. If he has obligatory tasks that he does according to a schedule, relax the discipline, step back a little from the regime. Relaxation exercises may help your child if they are over 8 years old.

4. Happiness and harmony in the home usually helps restore a child's sense of security. Ask the staff of the school or kindergarten that the child attends to ease the child’s discipline as much as possible and in no case limit the frequency or duration of visits to the toilet.

5. Try to find out what is bothering your child. Talk to other family members and think through all the possible stressful moments that could have happened 1 or 2 days before the onset of the disease. Ask school and kindergarten staff about this topic. Discuss your thoughts with your child, try to identify and resolve the stressful situation, but remember that you should not be overzealous in this - your anxiety and excessive fussiness can aggravate the symptoms. Frequent stressful events that trigger this disease:

• death in the family
• accidents or other life-threatening events
• tension, quarrels between parents and other family members
• serious illness of a parent or other family member
• entering primary school or changing schools or groups
• excessive concern about enuresis, fear of bedwetting
• cases when a child was unable to hold urine in the presence of peers (classmates, etc.).

6. Ignore frequent urination. When your child goes to the toilet very often, do not comment on it. The comments will remind him that these symptoms are bothering you. Avoid any calculations of frequency or volume measurements of urination. Do not collect urine tests (unless your doctor orders them). Do not ask your child about his symptoms or look at him when he urinates. Don't remind him that he must do bladder stretching exercises, that he must endure - this is his own task. Your child does not need to report every urination to you or count them himself - all you need to do is maintain the most general monitoring of whether your child is getting better or whether symptoms are still the same.

7. Make sure that none of the adults (parents, grandmothers, older brother, educator, teacher, nanny...) punish the child for his symptoms, criticize him, or allow himself to ridicule him. Stop all family conversations about your child's frequent urination. The less you talk about it, the less often the child will want to go to the toilet. If your child brings up the topic, reassure him that he will gradually get better and it will all pass soon.

8. Avoid getting soap on the mucous membranes and other irritants of the perineum. Bubble baths can cause frequent urination in children, especially girls. Soap can irritate exposed mucous membranes of the urinary tract. Shower gel, hair shampoo, etc. can cause such symptoms if they get into the urethra. In addition, before the onset of puberty, monitor the child’s washing with warm water, without soap, daily (just ask, remind), make sure that the child’s genitals are clean.
