What Causes Frequent Urge to Pee for Females?
Feeling like you always have to pee can be annoying and disruptive. Let’s look at why it happens, when it’s normal, and when it’s time to see a doctor.
Common Causes
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Infections can irritate your bladder and increase the urge to pee.
- Overactive Bladder: A condition that causes sudden urges, even when your bladder isn’t full.
- Pregnancy: Hormonal changes and pressure on the bladder can increase bathroom trips.
- Drinking lots of fluids: More fluid in means more trips out!
