I always love to urinate.

Patient's question:

After giving birth, I leak urine every time I cough or sneeze, and also leak when I exert myself. What's going on? After delivery

Doctor's answer:

Normal adults urinate 4 to 6 times during the day and 0 to 2 times at night. A significant increase in the frequency of urination is called urinary frequency. Urinary frequency is a symptom, not a disease. Multiple factors or causes can lead to an increased frequency of urination, but without pain, which is also known as frequent urination.
Recommendation:
