Doctor's answer:

Frequent urination is a common phenomenon among many pregnant women, and there is no need to worry about it; it's something that most women go through. There isn't a particularly effective method to address it. Some pregnant women may experience severe symptoms, including signs of uremia. It is recommended to seek treatment at a reputable specialized hospital. Take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
