Patient's question:
In recent days, I have frequently experienced the symptom of frequent urination. Normally, the amount of urine is not much, and the color is slightly yellowish. It becomes even more pronounced when I am mentally stressed. What are the causes of frequent urination? What medications are effective for it? Is it necessary to undergo a thorough examination?Doctor's answer:
The composition of frequent urination is related to both inflammatory stimulation and daily living habits. Generally speaking, if the urinary tract is infected, or if one suffers from acute cystitis, tuberculous cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, vulvitis, or other diseases, or if conditions that cause urinary tract obstruction, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, are present, symptoms of frequent urination may reappear. Moreover, urinary tract infections may also cause a feeling of pain in the urethra or a burning sensation at the urethral opening. Therefore, when frequent urination occurs along with symptoms of urethral pain, it is highly likely to be a sign of illness. In addition to the various diseases mentioned above that can cause frequent urination, people's mental state and living habits may also lead to this condition.
