      Here's a list with a few reasons why you may be experiencing frequent urination.  We are not medical professionals on this site, we are here to answer general questions only.  May I advise you to please see a doctor.


     


    Causes of Frequent Urination


    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 causes of frequent urination include:


    Diabetes . Frequent urination is often an early symptom of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes as the body tries to rid itself of unused glucose through the urine.


    Pregnancy . From the early weeks of pregnancy the growing uterus places pressure on the bladder, causing frequent urination.


    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.


    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.


    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.


    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.


    Less common causes include bladder cancer, bladder dysfunction, and radiation therapy.


    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. It may also lead you to wake up once or more during the night to use the bathroom.

    What comes to my mind is diabetes. Are you ultra thirsty and fatigued as well. Those are 3 symptoms of diabetes. Trust me, been there. See a doctor……….
