Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. In a young recently married lady, there can be few causes for increased frequency of urination including the following
(i) She can develop urinary infection, popularly called "honeymoon cystitis". This can cause increased and burning urination.
(ii) She might have anxiety following marriage and this can cause symptoms of an over active bladder.
(iii) She must be drinking a lot of water and juices recently and probably that is the cause of frequent urination.
2. If she is having increased frequency and burning urination then please tell her to drink cranberry juice and this will help her condition. Sexual intercourse should also be done gently and slowly with suggestions to maintain genital hygiene.
3. It is also suggested that she stays stress free and avoid anxiety as this can also be a cause for her symptoms. Once she returns from her honeymoon then she can consult a doctor if symptoms persist and then get a urine examination.
Hope your query is answered.
Please write back if you have any doubts.
