Problems urinatin frequentlyg

Frequent urination can be caused by excessive water consumption or because certain medical conditions should not be underestimated. Usually, urinating for a day is equivalent to 4 to 8 times, or even 1 to 1.8 liters. However, some people may urinate beyond this frequency and even have to wake up at night to urinate.

Drinking too much water or drinking just before going to bed can make you urinate frequently, even when you wake up at night. But if you urinate frequently even if you drink very little, pay attention to other symptoms that you might feel. 

Beware of health problems Causes of frequent urination
Urination that is long outside the normal frequency can indicate various medical conditions.

Here are some conditions that often cause urination, as well as other symptoms that may accompany.


Prostate disorders

• Urinary tract infection.
  Feeling to always urinate that cannot be held back, accompanied by fever, and discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen, can be a sign of urinary tract infection.
• The bladder is overactive (overactive bladder)
  The condition in which the bladder muscle contracts excessively, causing the urge to urinate even though the bladder is not full of urine.
• Kidney infection
  Besides frequent urination, other symptoms of kidney infection are back pain, groin pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and cold.
• Kidney stones
  These are mineral stones that form in the kidneys when urine is concentrated. Another symptom of kidney stones is light urine accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen, blood in urine or the color of urine becoming dark or cloudy.
• Pregnancy
  In early pregnancy, the uterus grows and compresses the bladder, causing frequent urination.
• Diabetes
  Frequent urination with large amounts of urine, often a symptom of diabetes. Indeed, the body tries to cleanse glucose that is not used in the blood by urine.Enlargement of the prostate can suppress the urethra or urinary tract and close the flow of urine. This causes irritation to the bladder wall. As a result, the bladder contracts easily even when there is little urine. Feelings of wanting to urinate often appear.
• Take diuretic medicine
  This is a drug against high blood pressure or fluid buildup in the kidneys. Diuretic drugs will eliminate excess fluid in the body, causing a desire to permanently urinate.
• Stroke or neurological disease
  Nerve damage that regulates bladder function can lead to frequent urination.
• Diverticulitis or inflammation of the large intestinal wall
  Symptoms are pain in the lower left abdomen, frequent urination with pain during urination and rectal bleeding.
• Psychological factors
  One of them is excessive anxiety that lasts a long time. For example, financial problems, work, school or family cannot explain the cause specifically (general anxiety disorder). In addition to frequent urination, other symptoms include palpitations, sweating, muscle tension, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, tremors, and digestive disorders.

A urine test is usually needed to determine whether there are abnormal compounds in the urine. In addition, other tests can also be done, such as imaging tests, neurological tests and urodynamic tests. Imaging tests such as ultrasonography are intended to display body images. A neurological test is to check whether there is a neurological disorder. Although a urodynamic test is useful for checking whether the bladder, sphincter, and urethra are fine.

As for the condition of the bladder that is overactive (overactive bladder) can be helped with the following rare:

• Train the bladder
  About twelve weeks. The training method is relatively simple, namely controlling the distance between urination. This can reduce the frequency of urination and cause the bladder to store urine longer.
•  Kegel Gymnastics
  This exercise can strengthen the muscles around the bladder and urethra, reducing the urge to urinate. Control of the bladder can be done with exercises that focus on the pelvis for five minutes. Do this exercise at least three times a day.
• Change your diet
  This is like avoiding alcohol, caffeine, soda, tomatoes, chocolate, spicy foods and artificial sweeteners. In addition, constipation can also aggravate this condition. Eating more food is rich in fiber and meets your water needs, but avoid drinking a lot when you want to sleep at night.
