Why do women urinate frequently at night?

We should urinate every day, which is a normal part of our daily life. You know, our body carries out metabolic reactions every moment of the day, and it is normal to excrete waste. Relatively speaking, we have a lot of exercise and active metabolism during the day, which produces a lot of waste. We urinate and defecate during the day, and the body enters sleep mode at night. Generally speaking, we will not urinate a lot. What is the reason for frequent urination at night?

Reasons why women urinate frequently at night

1. Infection during sexual intercourse: During sexual intercourse, the cervix, vagina, and Bartholin's glands secrete some fluid to increase lubrication. Add to that the semen discharged by the husband. If not cleaned up beforehand, it is easy for bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, etc. to breed, which can easily lead to vaginitis and vulvitis. Once the inflammation spreads to the urethra, there will be frequent urinary urge.

2. Bladder factors: The bladder is an organ that stores urine. Under normal circumstances, the bladder can store a certain amount of urine. However, when the volume of the bladder is reduced due to disease, the storage capacity of urine will naturally decrease, which can easily cause the urge to urinate in a short period of time. When the urine gradually increases and a certain pressure is generated in the bladder, the bladder will send out signals and we will feel the urge to urinate.

3. Neurological factors: generally manifested as "signs" that occur from time to time and have obvious mental effects. Frequent urination and urgency caused by stress and anxiety can have serious adverse effects on physical and mental health. Frequent urination and urgency affect those who study, work, and rest, and can be treated with psychological therapy and neurological medication. Especially for some long-term and severe frequent urination and urgency, relevant examinations should be carried out carefully, and they cannot be easily diagnosed as frequent urination and urgency caused by psychoneurological factors.

What should women do if they urinate frequently at night?

1. Medication

If the frequent urination at night has lasted for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and medication immediately.

2. Release stress

If a woman's mental state is in a tense state for a long time, it may also cause body disorders and cause frequent urination. So if you feel that you are under too much work pressure recently, you can try to relieve the pressure.
