Is frequent urination and urgency contagious? What causes it?

Frequent urination and urgency are symptoms of a disease, which have a serious impact on people's lives, because frequent urination and urgency can seriously disrupt the patient's life rhythm, which is very painful for the patient. The symptoms of frequent urination and urgency occur frequently in life, and more and more people are suffering from this serious symptom. Let’s take a look at whether frequent urination and urgency are contagious and what causes them?

Frequent urination is a symptom, not a disease. Increased urination frequency without pain can occur for a variety of reasons, also known as frequent urination. There are many reasons for frequent urination, including neuropsychiatric factors, physical weakness after illness, parasitic diseases, etc. For children with frequent urination, urinary tract infection, local inflammation of the vulva or penis, etc. need to be excluded.

Urinary urgency refers to the patient's urgent need to urinate as soon as he feels the urge to urinate and it is difficult to control it.

Cause:

(1) Increased urine volume: When urine volume increases, the frequency of urination will also increase accordingly. Under physiological conditions, such as drinking a lot of water, eating watermelon, and drinking beer, due to the increase in water intake, the urine volume increases through the regulation and filtration of the kidneys, and the frequency of urination also increases, resulting in frequent urination. Under pathological conditions, such as some patients with diabetes and diabetes insipidus, they drink a lot of water, urinate a lot, and urinate frequently. But there was no discomfort in urination.

(2) Inflammatory stimulation: When there is inflammation in the bladder, the nerve perception threshold is lowered, the urinary urge center is in an excited state, resulting in frequent urination and reduced urine volume (<300-500 ml/time in adults). Therefore, frequent urination is an important symptom of cystitis, especially acute cystitis, which is more obvious in tuberculous cystitis. Other conditions, such as prostatitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, chronic balanoposthitis in children, vulvitis, etc., may also cause frequent urination. Under the stimulation of inflammation, frequent urination, urgency and pain often occur at the same time, which is called urinary tract irritation syndrome, commonly known as "triuria syndrome".

(3) Non-inflammatory irritation: such as urinary stones and foreign bodies, usually with frequent urination as the main manifestation.

(4) Reduced bladder capacity: such as bladder space-occupying lesions, compression from the enlarged uterus during pregnancy, tuberculous bladder contracture, or large bladder stones.

(5) Psychoneural urinary frequency: Frequent urination only occurs during the day or before falling asleep at night. It is often caused by mental stress or occurs in patients with hysteria. This may also be accompanied by urinary urgency and pain.
