Urinary Urgency and Frequency
About the disease & condition
Urinary urgency is the sudden, strong need to urinate immediately, while urinary frequency is the need to urinate more often than usual. These symptoms often indicate underlying conditions such as urinary tract infections, overactive bladder, bladder stones, or prostate issues in men. Early evaluation helps identify the cause and prevent complications like infections or kidney problems. Diagnosis may involve urine tests, imaging, or bladder studies, and management includes medications, lifestyle modifications, and treatment of the underlying condition.
