Is frequent urination a symptom of uremia?

Patient's question:

Because recently I've been going to the bathroom frequently while at work, my colleague asked me what was wrong. I told him, but he didn't know if it was because I drank too much water, as I always felt the urge to urinate. He told me that his father had also experienced frequent urination when he had kidney disease. Is my frequent urination a sign of kidney disease?

Doctor's answer:

Frequent urination often occurs, and most cases may be attributed to recurrent urethritis caused by local bacterial infection. In a few cases, it could be due to prostatitis resulting from prolonged sitting. The possibility of uremia is generally low, and it is best to undergo further examination at a specialized hospital.
You can also take anti-inflammatory medications orally for daily use. Please follow the doctor's advice regarding specific medications. Additionally, pay attention to maintaining good local hygiene, and ensure that underwear is thoroughly cleaned.
Besides treating male reproductive diseases, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
