During this period, I keep waking up in the middle of the night due to a strong urge to urinate, yet only pass a small amount of urine. Why do women frequently wake up at night with a strong urge to urinate but only void a small volume?

Women who frequently wake up at night due to urinary urgency but pass only a small amount of urine may have reduced bladder capacity, lower urinary tract stones, or a urinary tract infection. If this occurs, it is advisable to visit a reputable local hospital for appropriate diagnostic tests to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. Avoid self-medicating, as this may lead to adverse effects or worsen symptoms.
