Patient's question:
I often felt a bit painful when urinating a few weeks ago, like being pricked with a needle. It wasn't very painful, so I didn't pay much attention. But recently, the pain has gotten worse, and I've been too afraid to go to the bathroom. I often hold it in because I don't want to go. Recently, the pain has become even more intense, and my urine is very yellow and has a strong odor.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can cause urinary urgency, dysuria, and frequency, such as mental factors, inflammatory effects from bladder and urethral diseases, and so on. This symptom describes the lower limit of a person's ability to hold urine during urination, while urinary frequency refers to the higher number of urination times within a unit of time. Urinary urgency is seen in cases of inflammation, stones, foreign bodies, tumors, high-temperature environments, neurogenic bladder, or mental factors. A normal person urinates 4 to 6 times during the day and 0 to 2 times at night. A significant increase in the number of urination times is referred to as urinary frequency. In addition to immediate medical treatment, patients with male diseases also need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest and absorb nutrients. I hope the above answers can help you. Thank you!
