Patient's question:
My husband has recently experienced frequent urination again, and he also has some urgency. After urinating, he starts feeling the urge again just five minutes later. With the urge, he feels extremely urgent, as if he can't hold it in anymore. It's significantly 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 in the patient or conditions such as phimosis. 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, so it is important to seek medical attention promptly upon noticing symptoms and to pay close attention to self-care.
