What causes men to urinate frequently and urgently?

Frequent and urgent urination in men seriously affects everyone's work and studies, especially in some important meetings. So what are the reasons for frequent and urgent urination in men? Today, the editor will take you to learn about it.

Frequent urination refers to an increase in the number of urinations, with a decrease in the amount of urine each time, but the total amount of urine throughout the day is no different from that of ordinary people. Urgent urination refers to the urge to urinate as soon as you feel the urge to urinate, often soaking your clothes and pants, and often occurs at the same time as frequent urination and painful urination. Painful urination refers to pain in the urethra during or after urination. It often exists together with frequent urination and urgent urination.

Experts analyze that the reasons for frequent and urgent urination in men are:

(1) Increased urine volume: When urine volume 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 urine volume 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 large urine volume, 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, resulting in frequent urination and reduced urine volume (<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 pediatric glans dermatitis, 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: Male urinary urgency and frequent urination are also related to non-inflammatory irritation. For example, urinary tract stones and foreign bodies usually present with frequent urination as the main symptom.

(4) Decreased bladder capacity: such as bladder space-occupying lesions, pressure from the enlarged uterus during pregnancy, tuberculous bladder contractions, or large bladder stones.

(5) Psychoneural urinary frequency: Frequent urination occurs only during the day or before going to sleep at night, often due to mental tension 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 treatment in time!
