FREQUENT URINATION

Hello , 

January finally decided to end😂, Happy new month . May the month of February bring joy and happiness to you and all that concerns you. 

If you had new year resolutions, or if you wrote one or two aspirations in the beginning of the year, I want you to go back to it, check your progress, and do better in the ones you find yourself  lacking but no pressure though, Remember that I am always rooting for you. 

As I promised, we will be discussing every topic I got from the google form responses. Feel free to add yours (check previous mails for the link).

Today, we will be discussing “Frequent Urination”.

Frequent Urination can be a symptom of many different problems from kidney disease to simply drinking too much fluid. So don’t be scared, you might just be drinking too much water. 

But take note; When frequent urination is accompanied by fever, an urgent need to urinate, and pain or discomfort in the abdomen, you may have a urinary track infection. Other possible causes of frequent urination include; 

Diabetes,

pregnancy,

prostate problem,

intestinal cystitis,

Diuretic use,

stroke or other neurological disease,

Hypercalcemia ( high calcium level).

Treatment for frequent urination will be to address the underlying problem that is causing it. For example, if diabetes is the cause, treatment will involve keeping blood sugar level under control.

Relax Amaka, you might just be taking too much water, you are not pregnant. 

But be sure to see your doctor for expert management if the frequent urination is affecting your quality of life especially if it is accompanied by other symptoms.

I hope you have learnt something today. 

Always remember to take good care of yourself. 

Do have a lovely weekend! 

With love,

Wura from The Health City.
