kidney stones, kidney failure etc. are also largely responsible for
frequency in urination.
•Urinary tract infection is a very important cause of frequency. UTI

process of urination.
•Vollovaginitis is a factor which is similar to UTI. It is caused
due to the opening of the urethra around the vaginal area, thereby
causing itching and irritation in and around the areas of the
vagina. Especially during the stage of puberty, this symptom is on
the high rise.
