If you’re needing to wee too often, and it’s happening all of a sudden, it could mean you have a urinary tract infection, says Partha Nandi, MD, a gastroenterologist and internal medicine physician and the author of Ask Dr Nandi. “Frequent urination can be a symptom of many different problems from kidney disease to simply drinking too much fluid,” he says. “But, when frequent urination is accompanied by fever, an urgent need to urinate, and pain or discomfort in the abdomen, you may have a urinary tract infection.” A urinary tract infection can hit when bacteria makes its way into the bladder, but this can be treated with medication.
