frequent urination pain It’s one of the symptoms of pregnancy. This is due to increased hormones during pregnancy and an enlarged uterus that compresses the bladder. So it makes me feel pain to pee more often.
In the part of those who are Because flatulence is often found and ends in the early stages of pregnancy. Therefore, the uterus has not expanded enough to press against the bladder causing frequent urination pain.
