Frequent urination is very uncomfortable, and it can seriously affect the work and life of patients, so it is important to understand this problem correctly, so how long is it to be considered frequent urination? Let's take a closer look.

Frequent urination means that the number of urination is more than 8 times a day, and the number of nocturia is more than 2 times, and the amount of each time is less than 200ml, accompanied by incomplete urination.

There are several common causes that can cause urinary frequency and urgency:

1. When the urine output increases: when the urine output increases, the frequency of urination will also increase accordingly.

2. When inflammation stimulates: when there is inflammation in the bladder, the neurosensory threshold is reduced, the urinary center is in a state of excitement, and frequent urination is produced, and the urine output is reduced, so frequent urination is an important symptom of cystitis, especially acute cystitis.

3. When non-inflammatory stimuli: such as urinary tract stones and foreign bodies, frequent urination is usually the main manifestation.
