Frequent urination is a common problem that can occur for a number of reasons. The most common cause is urinary tract infection (UTI). The infection can spread to the bladder or kidneys and is more common in women because their urethra is shorter. Diabetes, prostate enlargement, pregnancy, frequent urination, lack of water and poor hygiene are also the main causes. In some people, excessive caffeine, alcohol or salt intake can also put pressure on the bladder. Lack of magnesium and potassium in the body also affects urinary control. During an infection, problems such as burning, pain, odor, or cloudy urine may occur. If not treated immediately, the infection can spread to the kidneys.
Many people reduce their water intake because of this problem, but this is wrong. Dehydration can cause weakness, cramps, sleep problems, anxiety and increased blood pressure. A normal person urinates about 7-8 times a day, but urinating every hour or half an hour is a sign of frequent urination. At night, our body produces a hormone called ADH, which helps stop urination. If the body is dehydrated or magnesium deficient, this hormone does not function properly. This can lead to accumulation of water in the body and cause swelling (edema).
Treatment and Home Remedies:
Sea Salt: It contains magnesium and other minerals that help the body absorb water and activate the ADH hormone.
Moringa powder (drumstick leaf powder): It is rich in magnesium, calcium and iron. Mix one teaspoon of moringa powder in a glass of warm water half an hour before going to bed and consume it for 15 days. This will relieve frequent urination.
Moringa powder relieves body weakness, reduces muscle spasms, and strengthens immunity.
