If you are a woman and you are experiencing an increasing need to visit the bath room then you may have a condition of frequent urination in women also known as an overactive bladder. Should this be of concern to you? The answer is maybe.
There are self correcting situations that women may go through that will cause frequent urination and then stop it when the situation corrects itself. Probably the most common example of this is pregnancy. During pregnancy a woman's lower abdomen goes through a lot of trauma to accommodate the growing fetus. Organs are pushed against each other and it id not uncommon for the bladder to be exposed to additional pressure causing a need to go or an involuntary leakage. Obviously after the woman gives birth the pressures go away and so does the urge to urinate.
If you experience pain when you urinate or have a weak flow then your need to go often may be caused by a urinary tract infection or stones in the bladder or urethra. Once the infection clears up or the stones pass, you typically will no longer have those intense urges to urinate.
But there are other reasons that can cause a frequent need to go and that are not self correcting. Many diseases like diabetes, kidney disease and tumors can pressure the bladder and cause a more frequent need to use the bath room. Incontinence is not a disease but just a symptom of some underlying condition and that's why you really should visit your doctor to determine the cause(s).
Frequent urination in women is something that can be treated, and often times very simply but you have to see your physician to insure you are on the right therapy. Incontinence doesn't have to interrupt your life style. There are treatments to cure or manage it and products that give you the protection you want. Just take the time to treat it seriously.
