Patient's question:
My husband has recently experienced frequent urination again, along with some urgency. After urinating, he feels the urge again just five minutes later, and when the urge comes, it feels extremely urgent, as if he can't hold it in anymore. It's severely affecting his deep sleep at night. What should I do about my husband's frequent urination and urgency?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of frequent urination and urgency in patients may indicate a urinary tract irritation. If these symptoms reappear recently accompanied by significant dysuria, it is likely due to a urinary tract infection. This condition is commonly caused by bacterial infections, which may be related to poor personal hygiene or conditions such as phimosis in the patient. Treatment typically involves using anti-inflammatory and diuretic/heat-clearing medications. In necessary cases, it is advisable to seek follow-up care at the urology department of a hospital. Male reproductive health issues have a significant impact on patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly while also paying close attention to self-care.
