Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: Frequent Urination (cont)


1
Frequent Urination (cont)
  • Urinary tract infection
  • The lining of the urethra (the tube that carries
    urine from the bladder out of the body) and
    bladder becomes inflamed and irritated due to
    byproducts of an infection (blood, white blood
    cells, bacteria). This irritation of the bladder
    wall causes the urge to empty the bladder
    frequently

    wall causes the urge to empty the bladder

3
Diabetes
  • An early symptom of both type 1 and type 2
    diabetes can be frequent urination, as the body
    tries to rid itself of unused glucose (blood
    sugar) through the urine. Diabetes can also
    damage the nerves that control the bladder,
    causing frequent urination and difficulty
    controlling your bladder

4
Prostate problems
  • An enlarged prostate can press against the
    urethra and block the flow of urine, causing the
    bladder wall to become irritated. The bladder
    contracts even when it contains small amounts of
    urine, causing more frequent urination.

5
Pregnancy
  • Hormonal changes and the growing uterus placing
    pressure on the bladder cause frequent urination,
    even in the early weeks of gestation. The trauma
    from vaginal childbirth can also cause damage to
    the urethra.
