Yes, hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) can affect urination, primarily by increasing the frequency of urination.
Here's how:
-
Increased Blood Flow: According to the provided reference, during pregnancy, hCG levels rise. This hormonal surge enhances blood flow to the pelvic region.
-
Kidney Overtime: The reference also indicates that hCG may stimulate the kidneys to work harder.
-
Result: The combined effect of increased blood flow and heightened kidney activity leads to more frequent urination.
In summary, the hormonal changes associated with hCG during pregnancy can lead to increased urination frequency.
