Why cant I hold my urine during early pregnancy?
Urinary incontinence during early pregnancy may be caused by pressure on the bladder from the uterus, which is a normal phenomenon. However, it may also be due to cystitis or urinary tract infection. A urine routine test can be performed at the hospital, and treatment can be initiated after a clear diagnosis. In daily life, it is important to avoid holding urine, perform pelvic floor exercises, drink plenty of water, and maintain personal hygiene. If medication is required, it must be used under the guidance of a doctor.
1. It is generally a normal physiological symptom for women to experience urinary incontinence during pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, the uterus presses forward on the bladder, causing symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus grows out of the pelvic cavity, gradually relieving the pressure on the bladder, so the urge to urinate may decrease or disappear.
2. In the late stages of pregnancy, the uterus further expands, and the pressure on the bladder recurs. Especially after the fetus enters the pelvis, the bladder is severely compressed, reducing its urine storage capacity and causing frequent urination and urinary incontinence, even stress-induced urinary incontinence.
3. Frequent urination and urgency during pregnancy are normal physiological reactions. After delivery, the pressure on the bladder is relieved, and the condition usually returns to normal.
4. If there are symptoms of pain or itching in the urethra along with frequent urination and urgency, it is likely due to a urinary tract infection and requires prompt medical attention.
