Urinary Frequency
Pathophysiology of Urinary Frequency
Urinary frequency usually results from disorders of the lower genitourinary tract. Inflammation of the bladder, urethra, or both causes a sensation of the need to urinate. However, this sensation is not relieved by emptying the bladder, so once the bladder is emptied, patients continue trying to void but pass only small volumes of urine.
