According to healthline, frequent urination refers to the need to urinate more often than usual. The frequency of urination can vary depending on several factors, such as fluid intake, age, and medical conditions. However, frequent urination is typically defined as urinating more than 8 times a day or waking up more than once at night to urinate.
Frequent urination can be caused by several factors, including:
Urinary tract infection (UTI): A bacterial infection in the urinary tract can cause frequent urination, along with other symptoms like burning or pain during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain.
Diabetes: Frequent urination can be a sign of high blood sugar levels, which is a common symptom of diabetes. Other symptoms include increased thirst, fatigue, and blurred vision.
Overactive bladder: Overactive bladder is a condition where the muscles in the bladder contract involuntarily, leading to the urge to urinate frequently, sometimes even without warning.
Prostate problems: In men, an enlarged prostate gland can cause frequent urination, especially at night.
If you are experiencing frequent urination, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
