The number of daily urinations is affected by several factors: the amount of fluid drunk during the day, muscle tissue tone of the walls of the bladder, and human habits. The rate of urination is determined conditionally, for example, for a woman, 2 to 6 empties of the bladder are considered the norm throughout the day. If urination is quite frequent, then this may be a symptom of diseases of the genitourinary system. If there is frequent urination in women, the treatment of such a disease is simple and consists of following certain recommendations.
If the cause of the disease is diabetes, then the treatment is to correct the general condition of the patient. Frequent urination with diabetes has its own symptoms:
- constant thirst;
- despite frequent eating - sharp weight loss;
- a large amount of urine;
- burning in the genitals, itching;
- constant weakness, lethargy.
In a woman, the volume of the bladder in the normal state is 300-500 ml. Constant urination is felt when the bladder is half full. The process of urination is controlled by the human mind. With a disease such as frequent urination in women, the treatment is prescribed by a urologist and gynecologist. The cause of this symptom may be taking diuretics, as a result of irritation of the bladder.
A common cause of diseases of the genitourinary system is an infection of the urinary tract, in which irritation of the bladder, kidneys and urethra occurs.
Almost 30% of women suffer from frequent urination, and this indicates an inflammatory process of the bladder. The disease is called cystitis. In most cases, doctors treat chronic sluggish cystitis, which is a consequence of overactive bladder. In this case, the cause of frequent urination can be a low air temperature and strong excitement.
Symptoms of acute cystitis:
- terminal hematuria (at the end of urination, blood in the urine is released);
- pain, pain in the bladder;
- pyuria (white blood cells, pus in the urine, determined by laboratory tests);
- dysuria (urination disorder).
Symptoms of the disease are different: constant pain during urination, frequent urges that cause the patient discomfort.
Pyelonephritis can become a complication of cystitis. With chronic and acute inflammation of the urinary system, there is a danger of kidney infection. The likelihood of such a complication more often appears in childhood (only in girls).
Frequent urination also appears before menstruation and during pregnancy, when the kidneys work "for two" and try to get rid of harmful products. During pregnancy, the volume of fluid in the body of a woman increases, and this is the reason for frequent urination. The increased pressure of the uterus, located next to the bladder, also leads to frequent urges.
In a condition such as frequent urination in women, treatment begins with determining the causes. Depending on the nature of the urge, a treatment regimen is prescribed. In diabetes mellitus, glucose is corrected with the necessary drugs. If stones are found in the urinary system, then the treatment depends on their size. Sometimes stones are removed by surgery or conservative management is used. Also, modern techniques allow you to remove stones using ultrasound.
During menopause, when there is frequent urination in women, treatment should be carried out using hormonal drugs. Such therapy has many contraindications. Only with the timely appointment of hormones give a good effect. During menopause, local treatment can be applied using candles that contain hormones.
