Frequent urination

Frequent urination is the need to urinate frequently over the course of a 24-hour period, which is uncomfortable and disruptive to your daily life. You might need to urinate more regularly at certain times in your life, such as during pregnancy. This may be a typical pregnancy symptom, and it usually goes away after giving birth. However, excessive urination may be a sign of other health problems that aren't part of daily life and don't go away with time.

Frequent urination can also make it difficult to sleep. Nocturia is the medical term for the full bladder that keeps waking you up in the middle of an otherwise restful night's sleep. By treating the underlying illness, your healthcare professional can frequently assist in relieving this symptom.
