Introduction
Poor hygiene may lead to urinary tract infections, which can in turn stimulate frequent bladder contractions and affect gonadal function, causing symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and reduced function. It is often accompanied by fever and discomfort in the lower back. It is recommended to follow medical advice and use medications such as moxifloxacin hydrochloride tablets, amikacin sulfate injection, and cefixime tablets for treatment.

Generally, frequent urination, urgency of urination, and decreased sexual function may be caused by factors such as aging, psychological factors, urinary tract infections, prostatitis, or benign prostatic hyperplasia. If discomfort occurs, timely medical consultation is recommended. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Aging

- As age increases, the body's physiological functions gradually decline, including those of the urinary and reproductive systems. This may lead to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and reduced sexual function. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is recommended to help slow down the aging process.

2. Psychological Factors

- Prolonged anxiety, depression, and other psychological conditions may cause imbalance in the autonomic nervous system, leading to frequent urination and urgency. These conditions may also directly affect libido and sexual performance, resulting in decreased function. Anxiety can be alleviated through activities such as listening to music or watching movies.

3. Urinary Tract Infection

- Poor hygiene may lead to urinary tract infections, which can stimulate frequent bladder contractions and impair gonadal function, causing symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and reduced sexual function. Symptoms often include fever and lower back discomfort. It is recommended to follow medical advice and use medications such as Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride Tablets, Amikacin Sulfate Injection, or Cefixime Tablets for treatment.

4. Prostatitis

- Bacterial infection may trigger prostatitis. The inflammatory response can irritate the urethra and impair gonadal function, leading to symptoms including frequent urination, urgency, and decreased sexual function, along with dysuria and perineal discomfort. Under medical supervision, treatment may include Amoxicillin Capsules, Clarithromycin Capsules, or Metronidazole Tablets.

5. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

- BPH is typically caused by aging and hormonal imbalances. The enlarged prostate may compress the urethra and bladder, resulting in frequent urination, urgency, and reduced sexual function. Other common symptoms include urinary retention and incontinence. Treatment under medical guidance may involve Finasteride Tablets, Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Extended-Release Capsules, or Qianlieshutong Capsules.

In daily life, appropriate physical exercise can be beneficial to enhance physical strength and boost immune function.

Can qi deficiency cause frequent urination?
TCM holds that qi has a retaining and controlling function. When there is qi deficiency, this controlling function becomes weakened, failing to regulate the bladder's transformation process, leading to abnormal urination and frequent urination. This is often accompanied by symptoms such as clear and prolonged urine, abdominal heaviness or distension, fatigue, and general lassitude. Frequent urination may also be associated with various factors including kidney yang deficiency, urinary tract infections, excessive fluid intake, and bladder dysfunction. If frequent urination occurs alone without other typical signs of qi deficiency, it may not necessarily indicate qi deficiency.

Can excessive internal heat in women cause frequent urination?
TCM believes that excessive internal heat ("shang huo") may lead to abnormal fluid metabolism or cause damp-heat in the bladder, which can further irritate the bladder mucosa, resulting in increased frequency of urination, often accompanied by signs of excess heat such as yellowish urine and irritability. Frequent urination is more commonly associated with urinary tract infections, excessive fluid intake, or bladder dysfunction. If frequent urination is accompanied by symptoms such as painful urination, urgency, or cloudy urine, it is most likely caused by an infection.
