You heard it right, frequent urination is also a symptom of adenomyosis

  After “dysmenorrhea”, “anemia”, “anal swelling”, “nausea and vomiting”… After that, another patient asked me a question about whether adenomyosis can cause “frequent urination”. They say they “always want to go to the toilet, and all they do is go to the toilet throughout the day, so they don’t feel like doing anything else.” “Adenomyosis, frequent and urgent urination! Always going to the toilet! In fact, sometimes only a little! I wake up at night and have a little pain in my stomach after holding it in for a long time!” In fact, like her, I have seen many patients in this situation, so today I will talk about it: the cause of frequent urination is not caused by adenomyosis? What happens when there is frequent and urgent urination, and why this happens! I hope it helps you and can answer your confusion!  Frequent urination, related to pregnancy.  Why? Before answering this question, we need to have some understanding of the structure of the female pelvis, we can look at the figure below, from which we can see the position of the uterus in the pelvis, it is located behind the bladder and in front of the rectum. During pregnancy, the uterus is constantly increasing in size, and the growing uterus occupies the dominant position in the pelvic cavity and begins to squeeze the bladder and rectum in front and behind. So many pregnant women in the second trimester will appear frequent urinary urgency, this situation belongs to normal, after the birth of a child, recovery, the symptoms will disappear, we will not say more here.  Frequent urination, related to adenomyosis.  We all know that adenomyosis is a disease in which the naughty endometrium runs to the myometrium to grow. After reaching the myometrium, the naughty endometrium grows here, (lesions) either in clusters, forming adenomyomas, or in scattered growths, forming adenomyosis lesions. They grow bigger and bigger, and accordingly the uterus gets bigger and bigger. As the uterus grows larger, there will be pressure, as mentioned earlier, and there will be frequent urination, constipation, anal swelling, etc. There are also large adenomyomas located in the front wall of the uterus that can cause frequent urination.  Generally speaking, the larger the uterus, the higher the frequency of urination, and the more likely it is to occur with a uterus over 80mm. To solve the situation of adenomyosis urine, it is recommended to take surgery as early as possible, and the symptoms of frequent urination caused by adenomyosis will disappear after surgery. And the further you delay, the more serious the symptoms of adenomyosis will become, and the more pain the patient will have to endure, and the longer it will take to endure!  Frequent urination, associated with large myomas.  In addition to pregnancy, adenomyosis leads to frequent urination, there are also some fibroids that can lead to this situation, of course, not all fibroids will appear frequent urination phenomenon, generally if the fibroids occur in the lower part of the anterior wall of the uterus, when the fibroids increase, it will cause frequent urination and urinary urgency because of pressure on the bladder, and if it is a cervical fibroid, the increase can also lead to urinary difficulties, urinary retention consequences. Therefore, in addition to the size of the fibroids, the frequency of urination is also related to the location of the fibroids. When these symptoms occur in fibroids, it will have a great impact on the patient’s normal life and health.  Other conditions: In addition to this, frequent urination in female patients may be considered to be caused by urinary system infections such as cystitis, urethritis, nephritis, ureteritis, etc. It may also be due to urinary system stones, such as stones at the end of the ureter, etc. It may also be due to bladder relaxation after childbirth. In either case, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for further examination to clarify the cause according to the examination results, and then do targeted treatment.
