Non-inflammatory stimuli, urinary calculi, foreign bodies in the urinary tract, inflammatory stimuli, urinary tract infections, most recurrent inflammation of the urogenital organs will interfere with the urinary system, such as cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, etc., which can all cause urinary frequency. In clinical diagnosis, urinary irritation symptoms, special diseases, the average number of daytime voids in normal adults is 4-6 times, and 0-2 times after nighttime sleep.
