Hello, one of the most common causes of urinary frequency and urgency in women is acute cystitis. The female urethra is short—no longer than 5 cm—and when the body’s immune defenses are weakened, bacteria can easily ascend into the bladder, leading to acute cystitis in women. The most common causative organism is *Escherichia coli* (E. coli). We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
