Such a process as menstruation, causes a lot of difficulties and painful sensations.

Frequent urination in women before menstruation

Frequent urination in women before menstruation in most cases is associated with natural factors and hormonal changes. But there are also more serious, that is, pathological causes of this phenomenon.

Consider the possible conditions of the female body, affecting the appearance of pollakiuria:

  • Physiological processes - the menstrual cycle proceeds with functional and structural changes in the genital organs. This is accompanied by a change in the hormonal background towards estrogen or progesterone. Before monthly there is a sharp decrease in the level of progesterone, which leads to a fluid retention in the body, which is intensively excreted by the kidneys. Against this background may increase the tone of the bladder, which causes urge in the toilet.
  • Premenstrual syndrome is a complex of various disorders that affect the endocrine, cardiovascular and psychoemotional systems. There is increased irritability, engorgement of the mammary glands, puffiness of the limbs and face, nausea and headaches, changes in blood pressure.
  • Pregnancy - if a woman does not know about pregnancy and expects menstruation, then dysuric disorder is regarded as a normal phenomenon. But it can be one of the first symptoms of conception. Also, there may be: increased fatigue, flavors, scanty spotting, bloating, mild nausea.
  • Diseases of the urinary system - it can be cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis and other pathologies. A painful condition is accompanied by an increase in body temperature, painful sensations in the suprapubic zone and lower back, changes in color and consistency of urine.
  • Gynecological diseases - the clinical picture depends on the type and prevalence of the pathological condition. Typically, women complain of such symptoms: vaginal discharge, dryness and burning sensation in the genital tract, menstrual irregularities, abdominal pain, discomfort during sex.
  • Endocrine diseases - most often the dysuric disorder is associated with sugar or diabetes insipidus. An unpleasant condition is accompanied by changes in body weight, increased thirst, dry mouth.

To identify the cause of bladder dysfunction, you should seek medical help. The doctor will carry out a set of diagnostic measures that will allow to establish and eliminate the factors that caused the disorder.

Frequent urination in women with menstruation

Quite a standard situation is the frequent urination in women with menstruation. This condition is associated with the separation of the functional layer of the endometrium due to a sharp decrease in the concentration of sex hormones, especially progesterone. This feature of the tissues in combination with active movements of smooth muscles causes irritation of the bladder. As a rule, the desire for a small one is present only in the first days of menstruation.

There are other causes of unpleasant symptoms, consider them:

  • Increased use of fluids or diuretics.
  • Emotional experiences and stresses.
  • Diseases of the urinary organs.

  • Endometriosis (causes painful sensations).
  • Various hormonal disorders.
  • Low uterine tone or abnormal anatomical position of the organ.

Frequent urination in women after menstruation

Such a problem, like frequent urination in women after menstruation can occur due to such factors.

  • Individual features of the structure of the body.
  • A large amount of liquid consumed in the last 24 hours.
