What is the reason for frequent urination after childbirth?

Patient's question:

I've been experiencing frequent urination for eight months postpartum, and each time I only urinate a little, yet I always feel the urge to urinate. What could be the reason for this? Should I go to the hospital for a thorough examination? My abdomen hasn't recovered at all either; it still feels like there's a baby inside for the past few months.

Doctor's answer:

Frequent urination requires a check for possible urinary tract infections. Postpartum, a follow-up ultrasound may have been conducted. If the abdomen is swollen, it could be due to fat or other issues, requiring a thorough examination. It is recommended to conduct a urine test and perform color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system and uterine appendages. Checking for white blood cells in the urine can help confirm the diagnosis, allowing for targeted treatment. The daily treatment for male patients primarily focuses on symptomatic relief. Patients can take various oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and maintain a regular schedule while avoiding alcohol. We hope that male patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
