What’s wrong with frequent urination during menopause?

Frequent urination during menopause may be related to mental factors, due to the decline of hormone levels in the body during menopause, causing disorders of the plant nervous system. However, it may also be caused by some pathological factors. It is recommended that menopausal people go to the hospital in a timely manner, and under the guidance of the doctor, undergo ultrasound examination, blood laboratory tests, urinary routine and other examinations to clarify the cause and then deal with the cause. The common clinical causes of frequent urination during menopause are: 1. Urinary tract infection: If urinary tract infection occurs during menopause, it can usually be manifested as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, hematuria and other symptoms. This situation can be treated with quinolone antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor, such as levofloxacin, and also antibiotics that are more sensitive to common pathogens in the urinary tract, such as cephalosporin antibiotics and fosfomycin. In addition, you can also use Chinese medicine to relieve the symptoms of frequent urination, such as urine retention tablets, compound money plant, etc.; 2. Urethral meatus: It is worth noting that if frequent urination occurs in menopausal women, it is important to check whether there is a urethral meatus in the outer orifice. Urethral meatus is often seen in middle-aged and older women during menopause, usually due to estrogen imbalance. If there is a caruncle on the outer urethra and it is small, it can be removed by laser freezing. If it is larger and affects urination, surgical removal treatment under local anesthesia is recommended; 3. Overactive bladder syndrome: Patients can show symptoms such as urinary urgency, urge incontinence, frequent urination, and nocturnal urination. The main etiology is abnormal sensitivity of the sensory nerves of the bladder. In treatment, if urinary tract infection is ruled out, M-blockers, such as tolterodine and solifenacin, can usually be applied under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, care should be taken not to drink alcohol, as well as drinks that are irritating to the bladder such as strong tea and strong coffee, or irritating foods.
