Patient's question:
Often want to urinate, and sometimes it's very urgent, uncontrollable, and occasionally there are a few blood streaks. The lower abdomen also feels slightly bloated. Wondering why there's frequent urination and urgency?Doctor's answer:
Frequency of urination refers to the continuous increase in the number of urination, but the total volume of urine is not significant. The frequency of urination in ordinary people is affected by many factors. The first is the influence of water intake. Drinking more leads to more urination, which may result in frequent urination. For example, when thirst is not obvious, drinking hundreds of milliliters of water may lead to urination again within tens of minutes.The second is the influence of climatic factors. In winter, sweating is less, and less water is lost through the skin, so water needs to be excreted by the kidneys, which may lead to an increase in the frequency of urination. In contrast, in summer, sweating is more, and the volume of urine is less, resulting in fewer urination times.
The third is the influence of psychological factors. When mentally tense, the frequency of urination can also increase, leading to frequent urination. For such individuals, when attention is focused, such as during deep sleep, frequent urination does not occur again.
