Many people experience frequent urination at night, which is generally considered a sign of kidney deficiency. During pregnancy, women often experience some adverse symptoms, with the most common being morning sickness and lower limb edema. Some pregnant women also experience frequent urination at night. So, is excessive nighttime urination in pregnant women a sign of kidney deficiency?
The excessive urination of pregnant women at night may be caused by kidney deficiency, but it may also be caused by other reasons, such as drinking a lot of soup and porridge at dinner, and drinking a lot of water before going to bed. Moreover, frequent urination at night may also be caused by psychological factors, such as mental stress, neuroticism, etc., which can lead to difficulty falling asleep. At this time, a slight urge to urinate may cause waking up at night.
Frequent urination and excessive nighttime urination in women during pregnancy are mostly caused by physiological factors. It manifests as an increase in the frequency of urination, with more than 2 urinations occurring at night, and the interval between urinations being within 2 hours. However, this physiological urinary frequency does not have any other abnormal symptoms, and is not accompanied by symptoms such as urgency, pain, or fever. Moreover, the urine color is normal and not cloudy. After the baby is born, the frequency of urination and frequent urination at night will gradually disappear.
If pregnant women have frequent urination at night and also experience pain or burning sensation during urination, they need to be vigilant. This is mostly due to illness, such as urinary tract infections, and require timely medical treatment.
