What causes frequent urination?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've experienced frequent urination again, averaging about 2 to 3 hours per time. Sometimes the amount is a bit more, and sometimes it's a bit less. Everything else is normal. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the information provided by Jin, frequent urination can be divided into two types: physiological and pathological. Generally, normal adults urinate 4 to 6 times during the day and 0 to 2 times at night. A significant increase in the number of urination is referred to as urinary frequency. Physiological urinary frequency is commonly seen in short-term increased fluid intake, nervousness, and changes in climate, among others. Pathological urinary frequency is often associated with urinary system diseases, such as prostatitis, which can lead to a marked and continuous increase in the frequency of urination. Wishing you good health.
