Frequent urination is the urge to go to the toilet, which is observed in an adult more than 10 times a day, provided that he drinks no more than 2 liters of fluid per day. In children under 12-14 years of age, the normal frequency of urination exceeds that of adults and depends on age.
Frequent urge to urinate should make you think about the cause of this phenomenon.
The amount and/or volume of daily urine excreted may increase due to various diseases. So, similar symptoms can be caused by diseases of the prostate in men and the uterus - inflammation of the kidneys and even a brain tumor. Doctors of narrow specialties should understand the causes and prescribe appropriate treatment: urologist, nephrologist, gynecologist, endocrinologist and neurologist. The purpose of our publication is to provide guidance on which specialist should be visited first.
The norm for going to the toilet in small ways
Before considering the causes of frequent urination, you need to evaluate whether we are really talking about frequent urination. To do this, familiarize yourself with the physiological norms:
Gender, age | Frequency of urination per day | Daily urine volume | Average volume of urine per 1 urination |
Adult men | 750-1600 (75% of the liquid drunk per day) | ||
Adult women | The same amount increases during pregnancy | The same amount grows during pregnancy |
|
Children 0-28 days | Should be 2-2.5 ml/kg/hour, which is divided by the number of urinations |
||
1000—1500 ml |
These are the values that should be observed under the following conditions:
- human body temperature – 36.2-36.9°C;
- ambient temperature – less than 30°C;
- 30-40 ml/kg of body weight was drunk (this figure will be different for children under one year of age);
- did not use diuretics in tablets, as well as rosehip decoction, coffee, green tea in large quantities;
- no shortness of breath and/or rapid breathing.
At the same time, a person should not urinate at night, a maximum of 1 time, and the volume of urine excreted should not exceed 200-300 ml in an adult.
Advice! If your or your child’s numbers are higher than the above norm, then in order to understand the etiology of this condition, you need to measure the total volume of daily urine, and also pay attention to the accompanying symptoms. Further we will consider frequent urge to go to the toilet in conjunction with these signs.
If urination is frequent and painful
The appearance of this symptom indicates problems of the genitourinary system in both women and men. The cause is indirectly indicated by the location of the pain, so we will look at it.
Pain in the lumbar region
If your kidneys hurt and you experience frequent urination, this usually indicates the following pathologies:
- . The acute process is difficult to miss: there is an increase in temperature and severe pain in the lower back, which can radiate to the abdomen. With an exacerbation of chronic sluggish pyelonephritis, frequent urination and pain in the kidneys and lower abdomen come to the fore. In addition, the volume of daily urine will also be increased, and single portions, on the contrary, will be reduced. The color of urine is usually unchanged.
- . Single portions of urine are reduced, the color is either normal, or an admixture of blood is visible. People urinate more often during the day, but walking a few times is also possible at night. Also, the temperature often rises and the urine becomes cloudy.
Pain in the lower abdomen
Pain in the lower abdomen that accompanies frequent urination indicates problems with the bladder neck and urethra.
If the bladder hurts and frequent urination, this indicates a pathology of the lower parts of the urinary system:
- Inflammation of the urethra (). At the same time, the daily volume of urine increases, the urine itself becomes cloudy, and mucus, pus or blood can be seen in it with the “naked eye.” A characteristic symptom is that, despite the painfulness of the urination process, there is a persistent desire to urinate at the very end (when the entire volume of urine has been released).
- . This disease is the most common cause of frequent urination. In this case: the urine is reddish, sometimes pus is visible in it, it is released with pain in the pubic area, in small portions, with an imperative urge. Body temperature is elevated, symptoms of intoxication are observed: weakness, nausea, loss of appetite.
- Tumors in the bladder neck area may have symptoms similar to cystitis, but there will be no symptoms of intoxication, pus in the urine or increased body temperature.
- may have similar manifestations if the stone blocks the flow of urine. An increase in temperature is possible, but there will be no symptoms of intoxication. The pain may go away with taking antispasmodics and changing body position.
- Prostate adenoma. In this case, the urge to urinate is not painful, but the process itself is felt by pain in the suprapubic region, a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder. Night urination is also noted.
- Neurogenic () bladder. In this case, the person’s condition is not disturbed, the urine does not change color, but frequent urination occurs after a strong urge, which is painful.
- Narrowing of the urethra due to acquired or congenital causes. There are no other symptoms other than difficult and painful urination.
Frequent and painless urination
Frequent urination without pain is a symptom of a huge number of diseases. Let's try to consider some of them.
Physiological causes in adults and children
Urination may become more frequent when:
- taking large amounts of spicy, sour and salty foods, alcohol. There will be no pain, an increased volume of light-colored urine is released, more than 200 ml at a time. Other symptoms include only mild tickling in the urethra during urination;
- stress, tension, excitement: a large daily amount of urine of normal color is released, while the single volume of urination is not increased. There may be a feeling that you need to urinate more, although the person has just gone to the toilet;
- pregnancy: in this case, other signs indicating this condition will be observed;
- along with menstruation;
- after freezing - for several hours.
Pathological causes
They can be roughly divided into those that cause predominantly nighttime and increased urination around the clock.
Frequent urination at night can be caused by:
- Cardiovascular failure. In this case, swelling will be noted in the legs, sometimes even higher (on the abdomen), interruptions in the functioning of the heart or pain in it, and shortness of breath.
- Diabetes mellitus. Increased thirst and dry mouth are also noted; the skin becomes dry, wounds and cracks easily appear on it, which do not heal well.
- Adenoma and carcinoma of the prostate. Symptoms other than nighttime urination may not be noticed. During the day, a man can feel quite well, only urinate in small portions. You can get more information about these and other male diseases that lead to frequent urination from the article:.
A person will urinate equally frequently both during the day and at night when:
- diabetes insipidus. At the same time, he is constantly tormented by thirst and drinks a lot, but, unlike his sugar “brother,” there is no dry mouth, dry and itchy skin;
- cystocele (prolapsed bladder): more common in women who have given birth. In addition to painless frequent urination, urinary incontinence will also be noted: when coughing, lifting heavy objects, laughing, and later during sexual intercourse;
- spinal cord injuries and tumors;
- weakness of the muscles that make up the wall of the bladder. The disease begins in childhood and is characterized by the absence of changes in general condition, but only by frequent urination in small portions of urine, as well as a strong urge to urinate;
- uterine fibroids. In this case, painful periods, intermenstrual bleeding, and a large volume of monthly blood loss will also be noted;
- taking diuretics.
What to do if you have frequent urination
Treatment of pollakiuria is prescribed by a doctor, since it directly depends on the cause of this condition
On average, an adult goes to the toilet 5-10 times a day, and he can freely control the process of urination. If this rate increases, there is a reason to consult a doctor for an examination of the genitourinary system. Frequent urination in women, as a rule, is not a sign of pathology. When hypothermia, drinking too much, taking certain groups of drugs or in stressful situations, the urge may occur much more often than usual.
Causes of frequent urge to urinate without pain
The root causes that a woman very often wants to go to the toilet can be different, often they are not related to diseases. There are 4 main factors that explain frequent urges. The first place is occupied by pathologies of the urinary system. In addition, constant urge may be a secondary sign of the development of a disease. They can also be stimulated by taking medications or carrying out any physiological processes in the female body. Let's look at the most common causes of excessive painless urination in girls:
- Cystitis. Due to anatomical features, the disease occurs three times more often in women than in the stronger sex. The initial stage does not cause pain, but later cystitis brings severe discomfort to the girl. Characteristic sign illness - the bladder may seem unemptied even after urinating. As the disease progresses, the urine becomes cloudy.
- . Frequent urination in adult women may indicate the development of kidney disease - chronic pyelonephritis. Sometimes the disease is accompanied by an unpleasant pulling feeling in the lumbar region. If the pathology worsens, the body temperature begins to rise, nausea and weakness appear, and blood or pus can be seen in the urine.
- Bladder stones. Constant urge in women can be a sign of urolithiasis. The desire to empty the bladder occurs suddenly and unexpectedly, usually after playing sports or shaking in transport. During urination, a woman with urolithiasis notices interruptions in the flow and, in some cases, feels discomfort in the lower abdomen.
- Weak muscle corset bladder. The main symptom is frequent urination with a small volume of urine released. Women feel a sharp, urgent urge to run to the toilet. This pathology is congenital, so the only way to solve the problem is to train the abdominal muscles.
- Overactive bladder. The increase in nerve signals is interpreted by the brain as the urge to urinate. Therapy of the disease is aimed at suppressing pathological excitability nervous system.
- During pregnancy. On early an increased urge to urinate is caused by changes in a woman’s hormonal levels and an increase in the size of her uterus. In the second trimester, the desire to constantly empty the bladder is not physiologically justified, and may indicate the development of pathologies. At the end of the term, the pressure of the baby's head and the enlarged uterus on the bladder increases, so the desire to empty it arises more often than usual.
- Gynecological pathologies. Excessive urine discharge can be a symptom of uterine fibroids (a benign tumor that puts pressure on the bladder). As the disease progresses, the menstrual cycle may be disrupted. If a woman has a congenital disorder - the uterus is prolapsed, frequent urges are caused by displacement of the pelvic organs.
- Endocrine pathologies. Often, constant trips to the toilet indicate diabetes. At the same time, the following symptoms appear: fatigue, itchy skin, thirst. If a woman is constantly thirsty, this may also indicate diabetes insipidus, which is characterized by an increase in the volume of urine excreted to 5 liters per day.
- Cardiovascular diseases. With cardiac insufficiency, in addition to an increase in the frequency of urination, skin swelling occurs.
- Physiological factors. Frequent causes of increased urine output in women are diet, anxiety, stress, and oxygen starvation of cells.
- Taking medications. Excessive urination is sometimes provoked by taking diuretics prescribed for the treatment of gestosis, hypertension or edema.
Symptoms that may accompany frequent urination
Here are the main symptoms accompanying the disease:
- Pain and cramps indicate an acute form of cystitis. In addition, the presence of pathology is indicated by incomplete emptying of the bladder.
- Burning after urination in women is a symptom of a genitourinary tract infection or poor hygiene of the intimate area. A feeling of burning and itching, in addition, may be a sign of individual intolerance to the chosen contraceptive or excessive consumption of spicy foods.
- Fever with constant urge may indicate urogenital tuberculosis or some sexually transmitted diseases.
- Pain in the lumbar region is a common symptom of pyelonephritis, less often it speaks of urogenital tuberculosis.
- Discharge of pus occurs with advanced urethritis, gonorrhea,.
- Women feel discomfort in the pelvic area (lower abdomen) with various gynecological diseases or infections of the genitourinary tract.

Which doctor should I contact?

In the Middle Ages, there was a belief that every person had a fixed number of urinations per day. If a girl goes to the toilet too often, there is something wrong with her. Perhaps she communicates with evil spirits or simply goes to her lover. Modern science is far from superstitious, but even she is not able to answer exactly how many times a day a person should normally go to the toilet. Apparently, the number of calls strongly depends on both physiological characteristics man and his living conditions. Doctors note that normally a person goes to the toilet about 8 times a day. At night, the body works in a special mode and can withstand up to 8 hours, however, waking up 1-2 times at night to go to the toilet is also considered normal.

In such cases, it is better to turn not to a doctor, but to a good psychologist.

- Cystitis. I want to go to the toilet very often. You may urinate frequently at night. The act itself is accompanied by cutting pain in the bladder, while it constantly feels as if the bladder has not completely emptied. There may be a few drops of blood in the urine.

They irritate the mucous membrane, causing a frequent urge to go to the toilet; At the same time, they make urination difficult and painful. Before treatment, the patient undergoes an examination so that doctors can accurately determine the exact size and consistency of the stones, and their chemical composition. After this, medications are prescribed that soften the stones. Surgical interventions are used less frequently.

In the early stages of the disease, frequent urge to go to the toilet is possible. There is weakness and malaise. In some cases - short-term loss of consciousness. A characteristic symptom is bedwetting. The treatment here is complex: insulin injections are prescribed, special diet(table number 9) and hypoglycemic drugs.
- Diabetes insipidus. An extremely rare disease (occurs in 0.003% of people). Extremely dangerous, but easily diagnosed. A person drinks enough water, but does not get drunk. He is tormented by thirst. The urge to go to the toilet occurs constantly, about 5 liters of urine are released per day. Treatment is hormonal therapy.
A little about traditional methods
Folk remedies should not displace official medicine. Best choice- combine modern and traditional methods treatment. Here are the recipes for good gatherings:
