Dancer experiencing urgent urination with only small amounts of urine being passed – what's the cause and what should be done?

　　A dancer experiencing urgency to urinate and involuntary leakage may be due to psychological factors, relaxation of local muscles in the urethra and vagina, stress urinary incontinence, overactive bladder syndrome, or urinary tract infections. If symptoms persist, timely medical consultation is recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows:

　　1. Psychological factors

　　Psychological factors such as nervousness and anxiety may cause urgency and incontinence. The tense atmosphere during dancing may exacerbate these psychological effects. Psychological adjustment techniques such as deep breathing and relaxation training may help alleviate tension. Seeking assistance from a professional counselor may also help better manage urgency caused by psychological factors.

　　2. Relaxation of local muscle tissue in the urethra and vagina

　　Female dancers may experience relaxation of local muscle tissue in the urethra and vagina due to dancing, leading to urinary leakage. This may be accompanied by vaginal laxity and a sensation of heaviness in the lower abdomen. Targeted muscle exercises such as anal lifting exercises are recommended to strengthen the local muscles' strength and stability.

　　3. Stress urinary incontinence

　　Stress urinary incontinence occurs due to relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles or dysfunction of the urethral sphincter, causing involuntary urination when abdominal pressure increases. Patients may also experience symptoms such as frequent urination and increased nighttime urination. Pelvic floor muscle exercises, such as Kegel exercises, can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Additionally, avoiding excessive fatigue can reduce episodes of increased abdominal pressure.

　　4. Overactive bladder syndrome

　　Instability of the bladder detrusor muscle can cause increased pressure within the bladder, resulting in urine leakage. Physical activity during dancing may worsen bladder instability. Some patients may also experience pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen or perineal area. Bladder retention and voiding training, as well as contraction and relaxation exercises for the pelvic floor muscles, may be beneficial. Consumption of stimulants such as coffee and alcohol should also be reduced.

　　5. Urinary tract infection

　　Inflammation caused by bacterial invasion of the urethra may lead to symptoms such as frequent and urgent urination. During dancing, body vibrations may cause partial urine leakage. Patients may also experience symptoms such as painful urination and a burning sensation in the urethra. Following medical advice, medications such as cefuroxime axetil granules, ceftazidime for injection, moxifloxacin hydrochloride tablets, and faropenem sodium tablets may be used for treatment to alleviate symptoms.

　　Additionally, patients should maintain good daily living habits and follow a healthy, balanced diet to actively improve their physical condition and enhance treatment effectiveness.
