Frequency

Frequency refers to the number of times you go to the toilet in a day. If you need to go to the toilet very often, more than eight times a day, you may have ‘frequency’ problem.

Frequency can be caused by an overactive bladder. The bladder might contract even when it doesn’t need to, for example, if your bladder only has a small amount of urine in it or may be oversensitive. This means that you feel the need to go to the toilet more often.

Frequency is often associated with urgency.
