Patient's question:
Male, 40. I've been feeling uncomfortable at the urethral opening when urinating recently. When it's cold, there's an increase in urination frequency, and the urine lacks strength. I'm very scared, fearing a serious illness. Please ask what are the causes of urinary urgency and frequency?Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract stones, foreign bodies in the urinary tract, and other conditions, as well as inflammation and urinary tract infections, can cause most urogenital organs to develop inflammation, which interferes with the urinary system. For example, conditions like cystitis, urethritis, and pyelonephritis can all lead to urinary frequency. In clinical diagnosis, urinary irritation symptoms and special diseases are observed. The average number of daytime urinations for a normal adult is 4-6 times, while nighttime urination after sleep is 0-2 times. If the frequency of urination significantly increases and falls outside this range, it may be due to increased bladder capacity, bladder occupying lesions causing pressure, bladder scarring and contraction, or bladder stones.
