Many women are firsthand with the problem, when it is often necessary to empty the bladder. The process of urination itself can not cause any discomfort. Just the very fact of this "behavior" begins to bother the woman and make you think about why this is happening - maybe it's because of some health problems?
Norm or pathology?
Before contacting a doctor with this problem, a woman should take a little time to look at herself and understand what often causes urination, how many times a day she has to go to the toilet when this happens.
So, for example, if urination increases after eating some food (tea, coffee, beer, alcoholic drinks, some vegetables and fruits) or drugs that have a diuretic effect, including various phytospores, then it is normal and worrying in this case about nothing.
As for the frequency of urination, then 10-15 times a day is a variant of the norm. A significant excess of this indicator, of course, should alert the woman.
