Will I urinate more during early pregnancy?

If a person becomes pregnant, he or she will experience many physical discomforts. For example, some people will experience nausea and vomiting in the early stages of pregnancy, and may also have slight abdominal pain. Pregnancy is the process of the fertilized egg continuously dividing and differentiating in the woman's uterus, and finally growing and developing into a relatively small baby. This may cause pressure on the pregnant woman's bladder. Let’s take a look at whether pregnancy may cause frequent urination?

1. Will you urinate frequently in early pregnancy?

Frequent urination during pregnancy is the most common phenomenon during pregnancy. This is mainly because the mother's metabolic products increase after pregnancy, and the baby's metabolic products also need to be excreted by the mother, which greatly increases the workload of the kidneys and increases urine volume. Second, in the early and late stages of pregnancy, the enlarged uterus or the descending fetal head compresses the bladder, reducing the bladder capacity, causing an increase in the frequency of urination and a feeling of not being able to finish urinating. This is called frequent urination.

2. How do pregnant women deal with frequent urination?

1. If the expectant mother experiences pain when urinating, or has unbearable urgency to urinate, she can check the urine routine to see if it is a urinary tract infection or other diseases.

2. The 4th to 12th week of pregnancy is a sensitive period for fetal teratogenesis. Medication should be used with caution under the guidance of a doctor, but it is not absolutely prohibited. You can first reduce the retention of bacteria in the urinary system by drinking water, urinating multiple times, flushing the bladder and urethra, and then use appropriate medication to relieve symptoms as soon as possible.

3. Eliminate worries and avoid spicy and stimulating foods as well as fatty and sweet foods.

4. Under the guidance of a doctor, take appropriate kidney-tonifying Chinese medicine such as Shouwu, Lycium barbarum, Bushen Yishou Capsules, Liuwei Dihuang Pills, etc. to maintain normal endocrine function.

5. For Chinese medicine treatment, choose 9 grams each of raw rehmannia, moutan bark, poria, cornus officinalis, anemarrhena asphodeloides, 6 grams each of oriental Chinese yam, phellodendron chinense, 9 grams each of ophiopogon japonicus and bamboo leaves. Decoction in water, 1 dose per day. Generally, 3 to 5 doses can cure the disease.

3. How can pregnant women prevent frequent urination?

1. You should drink water in moderation at ordinary times, but don’t drink too much or in large quantities. It is best not to drink water within 1-2 hours before going to bed.

2. If you feel the urge to urinate, you should urinate immediately and never hold it. Some people may have their bladder function affected by holding urine for too long, so that they are eventually unable to urinate on their own, causing urinary retention and needing to go to the hospital for catheterization.

3. Strengthen muscle strength training and do more perineal muscle contraction exercises. This can not only contract the pelvic muscles to control urination, but also reduce birth canal tears during delivery.

4. During pregnancy, you should pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and sleep on your left side.

5. Change your underwear every day and wash your vulva with warm water at least 1-2 times.

6. Have a moderate sex life.

7. Strengthen nutrition and enhance physical fitness.
