Disease description:

For the past two weeks, I’ve constantly felt generalized body aches—especially in the lower back and abdomen—along with urinary frequency and urgency. I feel the urge to urinate almost immediately after finishing, and my urine volume is unusually high. This seems unusual. Could you please explain: What are the possible causes of frequent and excessive urination in women?

Hello, Frequent and increased urination in women is often caused by inflammation. When the bladder becomes inflamed, nerve sensitivity thresholds decrease, placing the central nervous system in a state of heightened excitability—leading to urinary frequency and reduced urine volume per void. Many people mistakenly believe that nocturia (excessive urination at night) is normal. In fact, this perception is incorrect. Numerous medical conditions can cause urinary frequency, including age-related decline in organ function—particularly reduced kidney function in older adults—which may result in increased nocturia or urinary frequency. A thorough medical evaluation is therefore recommended. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health and happiness!
