Frequent urination causes come from an over sensitive urinary system, growths that block urine from leaving the kidney, ureters, bladder, prostate, and urethra, muscle weakness that causes urine to leak out of the bladder, tissue failure that causes the bladder to drop down and kink the urethra, and neurological problems. The reasons can be quickly sorted out by our urology experts at the Columbia University Division of Urology at Mount Sinai Medical Center on Miami Beach. With a full array of medical diagnostic capabilities, no matter how elusive your reasons for your frequent trips to the bathroom are, our team of Ivy League Miami urologists will diagnose, treat, and instruct you on how to normalize your voiding patterns.

Frequent urination causes may turn into life threatening situations if left untreated. When urinary tract infection is left for long periods of time without being treated, tissue from the organs in the urinary tract are destroyed. This is especially true in both the young and the elderly. Self diagnosis, while cost free and convenient, tells us nothing of our true condition without real medical diagnostic studies. General guidelines such as a low fever, means it is a bladder infection and a high fever means it is a kidney infection still do nothing about getting the correct antibiotic to kill the specific strain of bacteria and self diagnosis gives no information about the amount of bacteria that is residing in your urinary tract. On top of that a fever may occur due to many different sicknesses. Pyelonephritis (urinary tract infection in the kidney) can cause damage to the kidney.

Frequent urination causes can be from multiple problems that need a finely tuned diagnostic work up. These diagnostic tests may include blood and urine samples, ultrasound, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), CT scan, IVP (intravenous pyelogram), cystoscopy, bladder scan, simple urine flow study, and urodynamic studies.

Frequent urination causes can be self diagnosed at home by simply keeping track of your trips to the bathroom while altering your intake of caffeinated or diuretic drinks like coffee, soft drinks, and teas,  along with curtailing fluids prior to bedtime. Trips to the bathroom may start to increase over a period of years or spring up suddenly overnight. Recognition of urinary frequency is the first step in addressing urological disorders.
