Frequent Urination Treatment
IN DUBAI
Urination is your body’s natural process to get rid of waste fluids. Your kidney filters urea, uric acid, toxic and other wastes within the body and stores them inside your urinary bladder in the form of a liquid called urine. When the urine fills up to a certain point, your body expels the urine giving you that urge to urinate.
