May 9, 2013

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
The technical name for your problem is frequent urination.In most people the bladder is able to store urine until it is convenient to go to the toilet, typically four to eight times a day.Needing to go more than eight times a day or waking up in the night to go to the bathroom could mean you're drinking too much and/or too close to bedtime.
Or it could signal a health problem
causes:
Frequent urination can be a symptom of many different problems. When frequent urination is accompanied by fever, an urgent need to urinate, and pain or discomfort in the abdomen, you may have a urinary tract infection. Other possible general causes of frequent urination include:
1-Diabetes. Frequent urination is often an early symptom of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes
2-Pregnancy.
3-Prostate problems. An enlarged prostate can press against the urethra (the tube that carries urine out the body) and block the flow of urine. This causes the bladder wall to become irritable. The bladder begins to contract even when it contains small amounts of urine, causing more frequent urination.
4-Interstitial cystitis. This condition of unknown cause is characterized by pain in the bladder and pelvic region. Often, symptoms include an urgent and/or frequent need to urinate.
5-Diuretic use. These medications that are used to treat high blood pressure or fluid buildup work in the kidney and flush excess fluid from the body, causing frequent urination.
6-Stroke or other neurological diseases. Damage to nerves that supply the bladder can lead to problems with bladder function, including frequent and sudden urges to urinate.
7-Less common causes include bladder cancer, bladder dysfunction, and radiation therapy.
8-Often, frequent urination is not a symptom of a problem, but is the problem. In people with overactive bladder syndrome,involuntary bladder contractions lead to frequent and often urgent urination, meaning you have to get to a bathroom right now -- even if your bladder is not full.
