Our urine tells us about our health, paying attention to our urine frequency, quantity, consistency and smell, as well as any changes in our urination patterns, can help us detect health problems early and receive appropriate treatment.

What is the normal urination process like and how many times is it normal to urinate a day?

We tell you very simply. The urination process is controlled by many factors, by your kidneys, by the type and amount of drinks and food you consume, by your nervous system, by your bladder and the muscles that surround it.

A person normally urinates between 4 and 8 times a day and is generally considered healthy if urination does not cause any problems or discomfort. Normal urination also implies a sense of control, so you can wait until you find a bathroom if you need to.

Normally when your bladder fills with urine, it stretches and that sends a signal to your brain that tells you and gives you that feeling of wanting to urinate. If you decide to go to the bathroom and pee, the muscles that form the bladder contract to expel urine through the urethra, while the pelvic floor relaxes to let urine out of the urethra. If these two groups of muscles (those that form your bladder and those of the pelvic floor) are not working correctly, you have an infection or if there is a problem with your bladder, you consume a lot of liquids (especially if they are irritating), you have anxiety or stress , the normal process of urination gets out of control and can increase your number of times you go to the bathroom.

Possible Causes of Frequent Urination

• excessive fluid intake
• Cystitis
• Infections of the urinary tract
• Overactive bladder
• The caffeine
• The alcohol
• bladder stones
• Neurological disorders
• certain medications

Cystitis and urinary tract infections require special attention because lower urinary tract infection is often confused with cystitis and although the symptoms are similar, they are not the same.

Cystitis is inflammation of the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra) and does not necessarily have to be due to an infection, it can also be caused by the use of inappropriate intimate care products (soaps that are not for the area, lubricants with smell and taste, flavorings for oral sex or foods placed in the area during sexual activity, or even by some medications or indirectly by a vaginitis that irritates the entrance of the urethra without the need for a urinary infection, that is, of bacteria in the urinary tract).

However, a urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria enter the urethra, generally from the skin around the vagina or rectum, and infect the urinary tract and generally affect the bladder and urethra, irritating it, inflaming it and causing a process of cystitis (inflammation of the bladder)

You follow us? This means that the infection implies that there is always inflammation of the urinary tract but there can also be inflammation without infection for the reasons that we mentioned before.

How do I know if I have a urine infection or not?

Well, normally the urinary infection is accompanied by pain and burning to urinate, you urinate many times but little, it can be accompanied by a feeling of "pushing" and you are left with the feeling of wanting to urinate, in addition to being accompanied by fever and blood in the urine. But to know if you have an infection or not, it is important that you visit the doctor, who will surely send you to do a urine test with urine culture and antibiogram to determine what type of bacteria you have and what is the ideal antibiotic to treat it.

What can I do to minimize the symptoms?

1. Consume at least 4 glasses of water a day (ideally 8)
2. Avoid sugar consumption
3. Rest while you have symptoms of inflammation and/or infection (including sexual rest)
4. Clean and hydrate your genitals with products suitable for the intimate area such as the cleansing foam and the intimate moisturizing gel with hyaluronic acid from Zenzsual that care for your intimate area, regenerate, rehydrate, activate your local immune system and regulate the pH of your external genitalia, helping to protect you from urinary and vaginal infections.
5.
