Common disorders of urination are pain, frequency, lack of control &, change in color or smell of urine. With mild pain when urinating, take plenty of fluids & rest. If severe burning sensation, or possibility of sexually transmitted disease, seek medical advice. Poor bladder control is generally caused by weak muscle control or infection in the {urinary system}.


Frequent urination is often related to normal {menstruation} or excessive fluid intake. Seek medical advice if the urination is painful, contains blood or if there's possibility of sexually transmitted disease. Stress incontinence (slight urination during coughing or laughing) is quite common, particularly after childbirth.


If it curtails social activity, surgical treatment may be required. Sudden loss of bladder control may indicate injury of spinal or nervous system. If you've recently suffered a back injury (or fail to urinate longer than 15-20hrs), seek medical advice. Passing red/pink urine indicates bleeding in {urinary system}.


Seek medical advice if it can't be attributed to something you've eaten (food dyes affect urine), or if the color/smell of urine changes. Dark urine is a symptom of {jaundice}.
Blue or green urine is usually caused by medicines.
Offensive or fishy smelling urine is often a sign of infection.
