Postpartum excessive and frequent urination may be caused by normal conditions, neuromuscular injuries, inflammation of the urinary system, and reduced bladder capacity.
1. Normal condition: During pregnancy, a lot of water retained in the body needs to be eliminated through the kidneys, so there will be an increase in the amount of urine within a week after delivery.
2. Neuromuscular injury: women in the postpartum period, if the symptoms of frequent urination, the first thing to consider may be due to nerve and muscle injuries, mainly in the process of labor and delivery to stimulate the local symptoms, but in the postpartum period, neuromuscular will gradually return to normal, the symptoms will also be relieved.
3. Inflammation of the urinary system: Due to the special physiological structure of women, the distance between the urethra and the vaginal opening is relatively close, which is likely to induce urinary tract infections in the process of labor, resulting in symptoms of urinary tract irritation, leading to urinary frequency.
4. Reduced bladder capacity: mainly in the late stages of pregnancy, with the gradual increase of the uterus will cause pressure on the bladder, and prolonged bladder pressure may lead to a reduction in bladder capacity.
Postpartum urinary frequency will usually be gradually relieved, if the symptoms continue to be unrelieved may also be caused by other reasons, need to go to the hospital to find out the cause.
