What are the reasons why men urinate frequently and urgently?

If a person drinks a lot of water in a short period of time, or eats a lot of foods with high water content, such as eating a lot of watermelon, drinking a lot of beverages, or drinking a lot of beer, he will have frequent urination and urgency, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, some men in life have frequent urination and urgency for no apparent reason, and each time they urinate very little, and they will be very anxious, and even have urinary pain. This is an obvious sign of male diseases, such as some urethritis. At this time, it should be taken seriously and it is best to see a doctor. In addition, it can be improved through adjustments in diet and other aspects.

(1) Increased urine volume:

When the amount of urine increases, the frequency of urination will also increase accordingly. Under physiological conditions, such as drinking a lot of water, eating watermelon, and drinking beer, due to the increase in water intake, the amount of urine increases through the regulation and filtering function of the kidneys, and the frequency of urination also increases, resulting in frequent urination. Under pathological conditions, such as some patients with diabetes and diabetes insipidus who drink a lot of water, have a lot of urine, and urinate frequently. However, they do not feel any discomfort when urinating.

(2) Inflammatory stimulation:

When there is inflammation in the bladder, the nerve receptor threshold is lowered, the urinary center is in an excited state, frequent urination occurs, and the urine volume decreases (<300-500 ml/time for adults). Therefore, frequent urination is an important symptom of cystitis, especially acute cystitis and tuberculous cystitis. Other diseases such as prostatitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, chronic penile capitis in children, and vulvitis can also cause frequent urination. Under the stimulation of inflammation, frequent urination, urgency, and pain often occur at the same time, which is called urinary tract irritation sign, commonly known as "tri-urination sign".

(3) Non-inflammatory irritation:

Urgent and frequent urination in men is also related to non-inflammatory irritation. For example, urinary tract stones and foreign bodies usually present with frequent urination as the main manifestation.

(4) Reduced bladder capacity:

Such as bladder space-occupying lesions, pressure from an enlarged uterus during pregnancy, tuberculous bladder contractions, or larger bladder stones.

(5) Psychoneural urinary frequency:

Frequent urination occurs only during the day or before going to sleep at night, often due to nervousness or hysteria. It may also be accompanied by urinary urgency and pain.

Experts suggest that if you have frequent urination or urgency, you should seek medical attention immediately and eliminate the interference of the above five symptoms in time. In daily life, you must control your diet structure and stay away from cigarettes and alcohol. At the same time, you must go to a regular hospital for examination and diagnosis in time!
